"If it wasn't a headbutt, hitting low or leaning on top of me over the ropes, he was throwing the right hand and following through with the elbow - a typical K1 move,"
I missed the 1st Williams-Skelton fight. What is Skelton, a modern day Tony Galento? How about Tom Sharkey? Anyway, training with a K-1 guy is a good idea, but the same old story can be seen here: good referees are few and far between and their importance in boxing is underrated. If Skelton did all those things that Williams said he should have had several points taken away, and then disqualified if he repeated the same fouls afterwards 2 or 3 times. Without good referees, boxing can degenerate into a fouling contest in which everybody loses, the fighters, the fans and boxing.
