Wow! I just went and watched rampage versus Ishii, it was the first time I had seen it. Well, the first time I remember seeing it...That shit was so boring I could have fell asleep the first time LOL Anyway, I have no idea how they scored it for page. Let me clarify, the second round was very close, but it was Eishi who was dictating position, got the takedown, passed guard, got side control for over 90 seconds, landed a really nice spinning elbow, and statistically he landed about as many shots as did rampage from inside the clinch. I know what the official Compustrike stats say, but I went back and counted myself and stopped at 20 in round two whereas CS has Satoshi only landing 18 total for the entire fight lol in my opinion, the best case scenario oh is the second round was 10-10 Toshi probably should have been awarded 10-9
The first round was absolutely simple to judge and the third was also a no-brainer. However, the second stanza was The make or break round and as I said I thought so Toshi did enough to get 10-9 or at least a draw. That said, the winner of the fight and/or round two is my main concern as is one of the judges scoring the contest as a whole. know there have been some crazy scores out there but off the top of my head I cannot remember any as egregious as giving rampage the first round of that fight. Like that is fucking criminal bad.
Regardless of whether you are looking to give rampage a win in that second round and you give him the benefit of the doubt for landing the harder strikes that is debatable, however, there is absolutely no way that you score the first r for him. However, that is exactly what one judge did. One judge had it 30-27 Jackson in The worst one round scorecard I can remember. I mean, is I am the most agree just scorecard that Rampage was on his back for over 3 1/2 minutes of the first round and didn't do anything. He didn't attempt single submission, and Ishii was in side control nearly all of the round and even attempted a Kimuraa.
Anyone, rampage looked like absolute shit and that bout. Was slow as molasses and it just gives me confidence and King Mo. But not if this same trio of judges is working LOL
