Sow the point totals where quite even at the end. And thus a draw was justified completly.
Albert won round 4 because he scored way more points then Buakaw. The jury gave it to Buakaw anyway and that is why Albert was pissed off. He won fair and square but the judges felt otherwise.
The same thing happend with Souwer against Yod, Yod was kicking more but he was not making any points. This is K1 and not Muay Thai.
That's why a lot of Muay Thai purist get angry and scream trash, but you have to understand the rules of the game that is being played.
Compare it to this:
K1 = Soccer , only a goal wen the ball is behind the keeper
Muay Thai = always a goal even if the kepper stops the ball

The thing that's lame about K-1 scoring is that, as we've seen in the past, kicking in the arm/ blocking with the arm is very dangerous. Just ask Frank Shamrock
