(Me thinks thars sumthin' fishy goin' on) Seriously though, one of the cool things about the sim is (Well, maybe not so cool for whoever the decision goes against) that just like in real life, if the fight goes the distance you are pretty much at the scoring judge's mercy. Not only that, but each judge in the sim is rated as well, and may be biased against certain styles, etc.
