I accept everything that you say above Shaun and believe that everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. The problem is that I think you will find as many people who felt that the decision was the right one as you will find thought it was wrong!

I watched the fight and was asked by someone sitting with me at the end what I though the result was. I said that I thought Samkor JUST edged it but what an incredible performance by Dave. That is not due to biasness or not understanding the sport (we all think that we know what we are talking about) or any political motive - I have never met Dave and get on very well with Bill Judd. The fight was certainly close enough that either way the decision went could not have been called a robbery.

The people who are complaining about the judging on saturday are all from the same gym as the fighters or are their supporters. They are bound to be biased and passionate about their fighters. Anyone with a different opinion is not attacking anyone, just stating it the same as you.

In Bills post above he seems to be accusing the Judges of being biased and making a "political" decision (I'm not sure what that means really)and there seems to be suggestions that because some people are friendly with others there was something dodgy going on. I really think that this is not helpful to the situation or to the sport in general in the UK. This suggestion seems to be underlying a lot of the posts from people who thought the decision was wrong.

Tony Myers is well liked in the UK and gets on well with many people but is 100% straight down the middle with all his dealings and would have no reason to be biased. His decision was the same as Craig O'Flynn (and the same as how I judged the fight too for what its worth) and Craig O'Flynn has no affiliation or relationship with anyone in the UK.

I dont want to get into an argument and this isnt really any of my business as I was only there as a spectator and non of my fighters are involved but as I stated above I am concerned that the implications being made are likely to be damaging.
