Judges are hard to figure out because they always do the unexpected.  |
Fighters and their corners try to influence the judges and crowd by acting as if they've won. Not sure if it actually helps them, but I guess if one guy is on the floor, breathing hard and bleeding and the other guy is doing a victory lap it might sway them a tinsy tiny bit.
I actually think the astrological alignment of Jupiter and the sun, the migration of meerkats and prevailing winds seem to play a bigger part in the decision making sometimes.
