I dont consider anyone that I work with in the UK to be corrupt or biased they only want to improve and develop the sport. (I'm not suggesting that anyone who I DON'T work with IS biased or corrupt!) Its a long time since I saw a decision that I felt was either biased or dramatically incorrect. There will always be close fights that could have gone either way and partisan crowds will see it one way or the other.

None of the people that are involved in judging and refereeing in this country have any other agenda than to improve. They all come on here with real names and dont hide. Its funny that no-one who says anything negative ever uses their real name. You'll say its because everyone is in a 'click' and jumps down your throat but really its just down to having the courage speak up. Thats usually because these people have a different agenda than just expressing an honest opinion.

If the fighters use Muay Thai and are well schooled then its easy to judge and to score. The problem arises when one or both fighters have no idea how to fight and use poor technique or when one side doesnt like the decison so they blame the judges or the way it was scored. The crowd booing isnt an indication of a poor decision just which fighter was most popular.

The fight between Jackson and Jamal was a prime example. It was used by a number of people to show how in their opinion everyone in the UK was getting it wrong and killing the sport. In reality it was a poor fight with little in the way of clean Muay Thai to judge it on. It wasnt an example of what was wrong with Judging but it was an example of what's wrong with the structure and quality of fights and whats sanctioned as a 'world' title or even world class. If anything is killing the sport it isnt judging or scoring its this.
