Atrieu,

Yes, the conversation has moved to the so-called rematch between mary and soumia, which was actually just a 3x2 fight between them in an 8 woman tournament in Holland a few moths ago, under k-1 rules.

The conversation turned to this "rematch" because I mentioned that some of Soumia's supporters feel that since soumia won this 3x2 K-1 rules rematch, that this mary justifies the wpkl's decision to reverse the decision in their first 5x2 MT fight- which was originally judged unanimous in favor of mary hart.


I have never heard of that done in 30 years of watching fights.

It was justified by the wpkl simply on the basis that some wpkl opfficial allegedly made age "biased" statements after the fight.

its especially ridiculous since the official who was allegded to be "biased" was not even involved in the judging. All he said in any event was that "Soumia seemed a bit young to be a world champion"

and for THAT, the wpkl overturn a unanimous decision for Hart by their own 3 judges who saw the fight at ringside??? ????????

BTW: In the orginal fight which was reversed, one judge was Dutch, one was English and one was Belgium.
