This is called HOME Advantage. It was a solid and close fight.

que hermosa pelea bien ganada, excelente los dos competidores

[jessetruitt]

ITF’s scoring methods are really screwed up. I had Julio Carlos way ahead.Nevermind, I was just schooled on how the point system works. I stand corrected for my comment.

[leesdroidaccountharbin]

ITF>WT. And you're hearing this from someone who has a blackbelt in WT.

[Maidbots]

I'm not sure I agree with this scoring, but okay

[urbanediting]

The dude in the red needs to slow the hell down and be more strategic.

Whist I would rather watch ITF Taekwondo any day over WTF, which is a hopeless mess, ITF TKD is long overdue a complete overhaul of the sparring format and scoring system. Time to get into the ring and allow far more Taekwondo techniques to be seen than the typical leading leg probing and occasional over the top hand technique. The days for the flat floor sparring format are long over. Two trained fighters spending 90% of their time spoiling whats coming and backing off the floor to safety or hitting the deck knowing it's going to be punch up, interrupt us time, doesn't cut it. When the General modernised the indigenous Korean arts and formulated Taekwondo in 1955, he often said the system could and should be improved going forwards. Get in the ring boys for sparring, the patterns and destruction can stay as they are, otherwise you will be left behind and condemned to remaining a minority activity, as cage fighting and K1 style full contact will not only continue to rule, but will totally eclipse all traditional martial arts competition, beyond any comparison.

Am I trippin here?

Парадокс, когда видишь бои профи в таеквондо итф - их даже смотреть не хочется. очень скучно и до безобразия похоже на каратэ шотокан или олимпийское (но с легким контактом)
А бои цветных поясов в ноунейм турнирах - очень зрелищные

[ryanoldryan]

Julio supposed to win that game. He is clearly ahead in terms of points scoring. The ITF Referee/Judges of marks are BIAS and UNFAIR. They deliberately make Julio lose the game. The Korean ITF should do something seeing this. PLEASE. WE NEED JUSTICE AND FAIR ITF FIGHT HERE.

[roshandahal]

Julio Carlos is far better then blue fighter, BIAS

[fernandogilgallardo]

Ese mejicano se la pasaba llorandole al arbitro por lo puntos, parecia futbolista mas que taekwondista. Me alegro que al final ganara el irlandes, peleo con ganas.

[YouToubeLiive]

equal too in extra. USA had to be smarter than he was

[RichOnTheGame]

pitiful fighting, why don't the heads of the organizations take it back old school and actually teach these guys how to fight. This sucks
