good idea Tony although we will see things differently no matter what scoring criteria you choose to use. Even if we sit there with the rules in hand it will still vary on the level of power based in a shot and what you define as landed technique. Power and forcing the fight should always count for something. After the Michael showers fight (not that that fight has anything to do with this) you say that the body kicks were scoring and pushing Mike back but what about the low kicks thrown that were leg bucklers and totally off balancing the opponent and the teebs that pushed to the floor? there were a few trips to the canvas that night. The result is what it was but we are using the criteria you gave us as argument whether mike had won or lost.


I do not agree with alias users coming on ax after they have been banned and I do not agree with people that are supposed to be judges under your banner slagging off my gym for no reason. Even further than that I do not agree with syndicate users like Global Breathren whos identities I know! This is against ax rules let alone a disgrcaeful and cowardly act. I saw him ringside during mikes fight and being as the last time he saw mike he was getting knocked out by him and has openly critised us since. It wasnt encouraging to see him sitting there with the other judges.He has openly made rude and uncalled for remarks many times and caused so much trouble it isnt funny.

My students are taught to have more respect than that and as you chose to use the words 'educate' us perhaps you could do the same with one of your fighters. If you chose to associate with him and judge together then of course you will suffer some of the same flack. Bill and i know this! He cannot possibly judge any fight from my gym fairly after the comments he has written the last few years. We would have a lot more respect if he had the balls to at least put his name forwards! god only knows what we have done to offend him and perhaps he may have the balls to discuss it with me one day like the bad co lot have. It is obvious to us where his loyalties lie with certain other gyms. A poor candidate for judging in my opinion!
