Jesse, there was no suggestion that viewing the fight will mean any decision will be changed mate. That is not the way to go as you are aware; the WMC select officials and their decisions stand.
The suggestion was made for some experienced judge from Thailand to view the fight as a damage limitation exercise, to try to show there was no political decision made but just a real attempt to judge the fight using MuayThai criteria. Craig and me are confident in our decisions on all the fights.
Sean, I certainly don't take offence at you considering Dave won the fight mate, you don't need to make any apology whatever you think when looking at the fight again. I know you give your honest opinion and it is unbiased. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I feel no bad feelings towards anyone in the sport at all.
I am sure there were many who have been in MuayThai for years who thought David won. Which suggests to me is that we still have a way to go to educate coaches, fighters, judges and the public. If they think Dave and Kieran won they should come forward and explain exactly why they won, which of their techniques actually scored and why their opponent's didn't.
What was encouraging for me was the number of people involved in the sport who did get the scoring right on this and the other fights. To me it represents a real break through.
