Same thing happened years ago to Richard Smith. He fought Takashi Ono on home soil at the Leeds Townhall and IMO clearley won the fight, first round even 2nd to Richard 3rd a 10-8 round to Richard, dropped him with a beautiful body shot, Richard then trew everything he had trying to stop him for the rest of that round but Takashi just wouldnt go away, round 4 takashi tried to come back, but Richard managed to stay with him so an evenish round with maybe Richard just taking it, and Richard started strong in the 5th but with about 30 seconds or so to go got dropped with a wicked head kick (soz to remind you boss,lol)he took a count but was still able to get it together and hold on. Now eberyone in the building thought (knew) he had won the fight, but a similer thing happened, 1 judge gave it to Richard 1 to Takashi and the other a draw. Now i completley understand with you Alan that a draw is not a fair result in a World title fight, Espeicially when such a recognised body,ie WMC, WAKO,WBC, etc. I saw how upset and pissed off Richard was, we all where for him. I was just wondering though do you think this enquiry will help Alan?? Will they review the fight and can or would they change the decision? Only asking because ive never heard of this been done before and don't understand it fully. Will they not just have a rematch for the title again later in the year or could the WMC just watch the fight and turn around and say yes Kieran won or Wittaynoi won and award the belt accordingly??? Just sounds a bit weird that. What if the people who review the tape do see the fight completly differently to youreself Alan and most of the crowd on the night and they do decide that they feel Kieran actually lost the fight?. Just bringing these points up as i am interested as to what would happen thats all cause as i say i don't really understand what would happen. Anyone out there from the WMC that can clear this up?? I myself can not comment on the fight as i only watched the first 3 rounds, from what i saw if i was a judge it was even to the point i saw upto.
