I did feel that Tim had it but left before the final bell as there were young people in my group for whose safety I had responsability.

But its of no matter what i thought. I was not a judge. But regardless of why? The judges accepted the job knowing it to be a hard one. And for that I offer my respect. I may not agree with the decision. But declare openly i was not attempting to judge it and am not prepared to question those given that task on an open forum.

I had tim take round four with a ten/eight. Which if all judges recognised had tim six full points ahead assuming the first three rounds drawn. Which they werent. Frankie was much stronger in the fifth round and edged it. Across three judges that brings him 3 full points nearer. Tim still has a three point spread.

Im advised one of the judges exercised his perogitive and gave tim the knock down round a ten nine as he felt Frankie came back enough to nullify the Eight count. My thoughts are that an eight count results in a ten eight round.

But before every one runs away with the notion the judges got it wrong because of crowd pressure. Which of you would have done the job in their place.

Whatever; Im sure this will run and run.
