The Evidence

[Tru_Blu]

Should we all take a step back and look at the evidence presented

First lets use the words as the world describe it. Stamp or Stomp
the defeniton - A stomp (also referred to as a stamp) is a downwards strike with the heel of the foot from the stand-up position, and is usually directed at the head or body of a downed opponent. A stomp similar to an axe kick is referred to as an axe stomp, while a particularly powerful jumping stomp with both heels is called a bronco kick, and a stomp from the clinch directed at the opponent's foot is called a foot stomp.

So lets take a look at the first angle in our video replay.
Do you notice what part of Ade foot actually makes contact with the Van Pussy? By my accounts it looks as though it was the side of his boot.(not the HEEL)
Now lets stop there and discuss this scenario a bit further. If someone has a foot in the air and moves forward with said foot with the intention of putting all ones weight on that foot and suddenly comes in contact with a stationary object what would be the result of that foots action. IMO a straight downward motion as your trying to regain balance. IMO this describes the first camera angle perfectly.

Now lets look at the second more popular angle. Notice the emphasis that is put in the downward motion without any evidence of contact. Why? well do you see his boot hit is face? If one was to only look at this angle the impression would be that ball of his foot has connected with Van Pussies face and Ade has directed a stomp at the same time. Well like all court cases, evidence has to presented so that you can clear all doubt. This angle surely can not be used for any argument as we see no contact of foot to face and would have to rely solely on interpretation of the event.

How can you STOMP a person with the side of your foot I thought that was a KICK, which BTW is what ADE said he has done.

If you watch it in real time, even a rag mate of mine said that the idea he could be so accurate with a 'stamp' whist leaning forward on one leg at that speed is fucking ridiculous.
