this is appalling, i hope i can be there soon but i have friends who competes in TKD at state and national level and ones who even represent australia and they always complain about the incompetence of the scoring system, which i even admit is not very reliable but this loser on the other hand was DQ'd for a perfectly right reason, the fact that he didn't know the rules is his own fault and that of his coach. So the fact that he kicked the ref is just ridiculous.

[@moussaipresidangue3203]

Can someone please explain what is going based on the rules , was the ref right or wrong ?

[@amazingle7431]

ref was right, because they set a rule to allow you treat your wound in a certain of time, this is to avoid candidates buying time, if the time took too long he has no choice but let the guy lose, you can see his "medical time" has reduced to zero, and he already lost 3-2.

[@magicmofy2871]

He also could have requested more time but he didnt, so he lost

[@MKillBill]

​@magicmofy2871 extra stoppage time can only be called in rare circumstances, such as blood, broken bones, etc. If you ask me this does not qualify for one of those instances so the fighter needed to be up and ready to go at the end of 60 seconds. That said this video is from 16 years ago so maybe the rules were a little different back then. Regardless, the fighter clearly wasn't so the referee made the right call to stop the match.

Add to the fact that he was leading, ref was just looking for the tiniest excuse to make sure he lost. If I'm not mistaken, strictly speaking, the ref is obligated to call 3 times. And only then, if he is still not ready should he be disqualified. So yeah, corrupt ref. Head blow was probably worth the bribery he got. In a separate Matos interview where he regrets his actions, he disclosed a bribery attempt for him (and his coach) to throw the match. He could be lying but if true, then for sure, that bribery budget is going to be spent elsewhere. Lets simulate the opposite, say the ref didn't disqualify Matos.
