Un juge admet qu'il a fait une erreur!

Nelson "Doc" Hamilton, l'un des juges du combat entre Lyoto Machida et Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (qui avait noté le combat 48-47 pour Machida) a avoué qu'après avoir vu une cassette du match a trouvé qu'il a fait une erreur et que Rua était le vainqueur.

Citation :

“There was a round in that fight [Round 4] where my line of sight while they were standing was blocked,” said Hamilton, who feels TV monitors for judges would solve the problem. “Because of the angle where most of the round was fought, I couldn’t see the punches and whether they were landing. If the fight had been on the ground, I could look at the big screens, but this was a fight where the blows were coming one at a time and you don’t want to look away and miss an important blow.”

When Hamilton saw the fight again, he noted that viewers saw Round 4 from a completely different perspective that he did...based on what he couldn’t see from his cageside vantage point, he believes Rua won the round.

C'est Shogun qui doit être dégouté...
