Davis Lucas:

When Andy was fighting Patrick Smith the first time in the K-1, Andy did NOT loose because it was early in his kickboxing career, or because his skills were not developed yet - not at all!!!!!!

If you have seen the fight, you will know that Andy lost because the judge was one big fool, and because Patrick hit Andy when he was about to stand up after a knock down. Patrick hit Andy with a clean straight powerful punch, great job by Patrick, but it was no big deal.

Andy went down for a split second, and was about to get up again less than 1 second after he went down. The judge started to count on Andy, as he should after the official rules. But when the judge start counting, Patrick hit Andy Hug again point blank right in the face, and Andy went down again, as any other fighter and human would have done.

Instead of getting disqualified, Patrick wins the fight, don’t ask me why or even worse.... How?? The judge stood in the middle, only half a meter from Andy & Pateick, but he stops the fight and gives the victory to Patrick. Andy and his corner was is in chock, they could not understand how Patrick could win the fight, when he hit Andy when the judge was about to count on him? The fans did also get really mad, buuhhiing at Patrick and at the judge. It was the biggest scandal ever in the K-1.
