It sucks, I've had to center a couple of times at taekwondo tournaments, and while the center doesn't score, you have to call penalties, and it's entirely subjective and you've gotta go with your gut. Fortunatly in the UFC they don't have to deal with irate parents with no MA background who try to tell you how to officiate.
My standard answer "Sir/Ma'am, sit down, read the rule book and take some classes, when you get your black belt and you officials credentials we'll talk about it" Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer/Administrator GlobalNet Services, Inc. www.gnsi.com 301-770-9610 x358 (Voice) 301-770-9611 (Fax) The information contained in this message may be privileged, confidential, and protected from disclosure.

I don't think the stoppage was any worse than Arlovski-Sylvia 2 was, which IMO was pretty quick. After watching the replay a couple times there was one elbow that connected that made Shamrock look real bad the way his head went back, etc. Could be the ref was looking right at his face on that one and jumped. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 12:57 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Martial Arts Schools was: blogfusion.com Who was the ref for the fight. If it was Big John, he tends to stop fights at the first sign of what he considers to be trouble.

It was 4 quick shots, Shamrock didn't look dazed at all, and he stopped it. It was a big, big let down. I can't even say if Shamrock can keep up or not because they stopped the match within 30 seconds. I was in a bar with over a hundred people and everyone was pissed at how the match was stopped. I have seen matches where they let the unanswered blows go until the other fighter looked dazed, this was just complete crap and made me glad I didn't spend $50 to get it on PPV. bob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:5/messageid:210871 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
