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

kicks to the arm are scored in k-1, they have never been considred 'blocks', not in the past, not now, never
i don't know where the hell you people get your information
the overall pt system has always been gray in k-1 or muay thai
but one thing is for sure is in k-1, kicks to the arms count less than most ever other strike which includes punches and lows
if there is any consistancy, the pt system ranks in this order
1. strikes(punch, knee or kick) to the head
2. lowkicks
3. body punches , body knees, middle kicks
4. front kicks, kicks to the arms,
and no pts for grappling
