When we did judging certification, I was sitting next to some of new other people and let me I tell you....They see totally different from I saw. Right or wrong is irelevent. We just scored different because we saw it differently. The round I gave to red corners, some went to blue corner. This was a totally non-biased examination from a fight video that TBANZ provided. It's clear to me that people will always see things differently from you. I can live with the fact that, if this is what they based their decision on. I will accept. If they are biased because the person they score to win is their friends, than they are the one who is going to live with it. I feel so sorry for many, many people (including some of my fighters) who may have done enough to win fight, but given a loss by the judges. Trust me, I have been there many times.

Someone mentioned the fight between Tristam Apikotoa and Peter Graham. I totally agree and think that Peter won that fight. However, they actually gave it to Tristam. I said (as trainer of Tristam at the time) Please check the score again, I don't think we won the fight,it must be some kind of mistake. Than they said it's a draw. (The judges were non-Balmorall Lee Gar also, for the person who made the accusations.) But the point is, I think judges needs review of their judging styles on a yearly period. This way they can find a way to perhaps improve their judging and their periphial vision. We see things from different perspectives. Whatever we see and think we are convinced that's the right decision. As for Choppa's last fight against a Thai, I know for a fact that there were gambling involved (which make things sucks!! and I'm totally aginst that BS!). Anyway, they are the one who are going to live with it, and I do believe in what's goes around comes around.

A fight the other night, which I honestly thought it was a draw, but we lost (Ivan Walker vs Daniel Tai). The judges were my friends and I respect them for their decision because it's their honest opinion. And please cut out the BS that Auckland judges are all biased. People aren't perfect and they are around the country and the whole world. People see things differently. Maybe you get to see more different ruling to your liking more often in Auckland because of more shows, but it's like that everywhere. If I honestly think I have a fighter who lost, but won (for those who know me well enough) I would not accept the win. If I think that my fighter won, but you think otherwise, than it's just the way it is. I won't try and convinced you, and you shouldn't try to convinced me you're right either, because we are both right.
