Difference between corrupt and inept
Not sure if I'm being unclear. I never said it's because the crowd helps the fighter perform. What i said was that the crowds reaction when their favorite dish out damage is not in proportion to the effectiveness of the attack. So even if it's grazing blows they will go crazy and possibly influence the judges that way. It's really hard from the judges angles (even with monitors) to see the impact of every punch(etc).
In short, the crowd makes the impression that one guy is being more effective than the other.
Why would taunting sway a judge? Would he look at it and think "what an *******, **** him"?
