Belive me chris potatoe, we don't tolerate this here in Auckland also. During Graham vs Apikotoa, the judges were 2 from Auckland and one from outside Auckland. One made it a draw, and two went for Tristam. Amazingly, it was the judge from outside Auckland who gave Tristam the bigger margin. The announcer (Gary Magristal) called it a draw so everyone can go back to the videos, as I had told him it must be a mistake. In saying that, there is no such thing is accepting small margin of (bad decision)lost or obvious lost...They are all wrong decisions and we need to do something about it.

What I've done is, I've never use those same judges again at any of my shows. Potatoe, that's all I can control mate! Stopping judges from making bad decision thoughout the country needs and input direct from sanctioning body officials, and those who promote shows. In the last few shows, I've asked the TBANZ to come up with the judges, and most cases in our last few shows, we used judges from outside Auckland. I believe it's a good start.
