Mr Hardcore.

I respect your opinion but do not agree with your views. I was at the Shane Chapman Fight you are referring to and it was a close fight - if you watch the video (I am sure you have it) you will see that alot of Shanes Shots missed but the Thai landed alot of his shots (although some are a bit weaker). It was a close fight that could have gone either way (watch the video and count the shots). Remember the judges were Thai and tend to view kicking and kneeing as scoring more than punches. In Auckland punches are often ranked highly (by the non Thai judges) - can you see how this may cause conflict?

The fighters in front of me said that if you go to Auckland you have to knock them out to win. Ask Peter Graham about his fight with the Twister - I was shown this fight in Aussie and I think it was the worst decision I had ever seen. I think Tristam hit him 3 maybe 4 times and got a draw mind you Peter only landed 50 + shots per round!!!!

If you can get a hold of this fight you will see what I mean. Of course not all judging in Auckland is off but do you think they should have people from the same club or from the same family judging and reffing one of there fighters?

You are a Lee Gar fighter - do you think it would be fair if 3 Lee Gar judges were scoring your fight? Or people who were associated to your fight? You have said before that Lee Gar is a family - could you judge your brother fairly or would bias come into play?

I can go on and name alot of fights that have been judged badly in Auckland. But we are talking about incompetance at the Nationals rather than bias like Auckland.
