After reading Kavanagh's opinion here that Conor won round 3, I decided to watch it in slow motion and score significant strikes* for each fighter, because up until now I thought Nate won 3, albeit not dominantly.

Anything that was deflected didn't get scored, anything that the camera didn't fully show wasn't scored, anything that wasn't potentially damaging wasn't scored (criteria for "potentially damaging" being something harder than what I'd throw in 15% light sparring). I had to take far more potential strikes away from Conor than from Nate -- it was really easy to see when Nate was throwing to hurt, and the things he landed were shown more clearly than when Conor was trying to punch through Nate's double forearm guard for example (so I didn't score anything for Conor because couldn't see whether they got through). None of Conor's jabs were scored, nor were the punches that made Nate stagger but only hit him uncleanly. I gave Nate the benefit of the doubt at times but never to Conor.

2 minutes in, Nate has landed two significant strikes, Conor's landed 8. And Conor's strikes have been far better, Nate's jabbed, Conor's thrown elbows that connected and hooks that stagger Nate.

3 minutes in, only significant strikes in the clinch have been Conor's elbows when disengaging. Both men throwing equal volume, both just slapping and the landed hits are an annoyance at most.

Score at 2 minutes left (3 minutes in): 10-2 to Conor.

1:00 left, 4 minutes in: 14-3 Conor. There is no doubt whatsoever that Conor won the first 4 minutes.

End result: 14-8 in Conor's favor, with Nate landing 5 significant punches in the last clinch and Conor landing nothing. Conor was never close to being finished. Even the significant strikes that Nate landed in the clinch weren't damaging enough to finish anyone, and were nowhere near as hard as Conor's hardest strikes in the round.

1-2-3-4 were Conor's rounds.

Not blaming the judges for giving the third to Nate though (10-8 is still fucking ridiculous), but realistically, Conor won it due to landing more significant strikes and also the harder ones.


*not to be confused with fightmetric significant strikes

deal with it bitches
 
Great win for Conor
retooling
and spending the big money on his fight camp

haven't rewatched the fight
probably won't for some time either...
 
Hmm... I've put some thought into this subject, and this is what I think...

Conor was winning every second of the fight. At no point was he losing to Nate at UFC 202. He was ahead all 25 minutes. From opening bell to final bell.

Conor was winning every single round for most of each round. He won rounds 1, 2, and 4 from start to finish. He was winning round 3 for 60% of it. He was winning round 5 for 90% of it.

Looks like total domination to me.

I watched the fight like 7 times, I completely disagree.
 
I am a huge Conor fan, but I disagree too. As you can see from my scores above, yeah, Conor had his moments, but Nate had a lot too. And the last minute of the round, whether many of the strikes missed or not, was more than enough to give him the round.

Edit: I just realized that you can't see my scores. Here they are for round 3:
Round 3 0:00 to 0:30 -------- 1 point for Conor
Round 3 0:30 to 1:00 -------- 2 points for Nate
Round 3 1:00 to 1:30 -------- 1 point for Conor
Round 3 1:30 to 2:00 -------- 2 points for Conor
Round 3 2:00 to 2:30 -------- 1 point for Nate
Round 3 2:30 to 3:00 -------- 1 point for Conor
Round 3 3:00 to 3:30 -------- draw
Round 3 3:30 to 4:00 -------- 1 point for Nate
Round 3 4:00 to 4:30 -------- 2 points for Nate
Round 3 4:30 to 5:00 -------- 2 points for Nate
 
Conor did not won round 3 . But he was certainly closer of winning round 3 than Diaz winning round 2. And there is a lot of Diaz fan boys that claim that Diaz won round 2. So I can see TS point . All in all, surprise surprise motherf@ckers the king is back
 
Based on the action and hard strikes landed you could give it to Conor. But Nate stepped up the pressure in the last minute, and landed some nice shots, but nothing of significant damage to win him the round. Judges in America seem to award fighters rounds for trying to finish the fight? But the problem is they can't review those shots in real time to be sure if the fight was about to be over?
 
TS needs to slowmotion watch fights over and over to understand whats going on. TS is a jabroni
 
What? No.

Lolololololololol
 
Judges disagree 10-9, 10-9, 10-8.
 
I'm a Conor fan and he did not win Round 3. I didn't think it was 10-8 by any means, but he definitely lost it 10-9. Still won 1, 2, and 4 though.

Why? You can't reasonably disagree that Conor won the first 4 minutes, so what about the last minute do you disagree with?

What Nate did was way more significant than anything Conor did in that round. Not to mention he tripled the strikes Conor landed. 10-8 was absurd though. Conor landed a lot of hard shots.
 
Conor won all 5 rounds including the 6th!
 
The clearest round of them all for Nate was round 5 and even then Conor had moments.

OK, fair enough, I disagree though. I don't think a flurry at the end of a round of mostly blocked punches is worth more than 4 minutes of way harder strikes.

The volume isn't even worth discussing, it's the game aspect of MMA, throwing "punches" just to score even though they do no damage. I could literally do the dishes without missing a beat while taking Nate's early round clinch punches.
