If you judge the fight on damage Melendez did far more13 out of 13 media outlets had Eddie winning. It shouldn't have been a split

Eddie threw a heavy right hand and he landed it.. that's fighting.
from a technical standpoint Eddie did nothing besides throw and land a heavy right, especially considering he could barely contain himself once he cracked him, he wasn't able to pick his shot against a sleepwalking RDA.
I look at that win the same way I did when dos Santos beat cain, dos Santos caught cain before Cain's gameplan took effect, it doesn't erase the legit win, I just think alvarez isn't as good as RDA.
That stat is plane WRONG whoever's counting is drunk.This is wrong.
Eddie was up 11-8 in punches and 4-2 in kicks BEFORE that huge shot. Moving forward doesn't mean you're winning
Lol just like that one sequence of dos Santos clipping Cain with a overhand right shows dos Santos Superior boxing..
What are hell are you talking about ?? That was more than a " Did nothing other than throwing right "
This sequence alone shows the Eddie's superior boxing skill. He was darting and countering clean while getting away from everything RDA was throwing at him.
That stat is plane WRONG whoever's counting is drunk.
I litrerally have the fight pulled up, RDA lands three kicks before Eddie even shoots for a takedown which RDA stuffs and RDA lands a knee on the break so how the fuck do you have RDA only landing two kicks?

It's ONE sequence and ONE mistake/capitalization that makes up that tiny gif, there's several other sequences before that in which I could cherry pick but it would prove nothing
You proved nothing kid, Eddie throws his rights hand congratulations of course you're going to find gifs of Eddie throwing his right hand against RDA, he throws it against everyone..
Are you seriously that dumb ? Those are two completely different scenario.
One shows fighter tagging other repeatedly before finally catching the guy. Other shows the fighter dropping other guy flush without figuring out the guy. Seriously that is the reason why I posted that gif in the first place. To show IT WASN'T A FLUSH SHOT FROM NOWHERE.
The better fighter doesn't always win.He also KOD the guy you claim to be a better fighter than him lmao.
Eddie is much larger than RDA so the cut is worse for him. Poor excuse

Did any of those rights land clean? No they were blocked and RDA saw them, that one right Eddie landed SLIPPED through the guard fair shot, however you're drawing crazy conclusions from it shows your lack of experience in the actual gym.
I said from the very beginning it's an opinion, and I don't want to get into the name calling argument game because of it.
So if you don't agree with my opinion go shit in a hat
Lol you never sparred a day in your life talking about fighters skills like it's some type of Pokemon card...lmao
So Eddie throwing right and landing supposed to disprove that he outskilled RDA in boxing exchange ? Hitting your opponents with your hand is the point of fighting, dum dum.
And none of those shots landed clean ?? You can literally see RDA's head jerks as he was getting punched. It is appeared that you are in serious disbelief lol
Nothing like the Eddie/RDA exchange, Herb reffed both, that should tell you something.
And by scoring Pettis over Alvarez that further confirms my opening statement
He's clearly an alvarez hater or he's trolling at this point
He also KOD the guy you claim to be a better fighter than him lmao.

Benson has been done for a long time, he got man handled by Chandler and FW Pitbull, he's 0-3 in bellator
Pitbull acquired an injury in that fightBenson has been done for a long time, he got man handled by Chandler and FW Pitbull, he's 0-3 in bellator
ThisRDA did not beat the guy who's 0-3 in Bellator. He beat Bendo in 2014,2 fights away from being a 3 time defending champion.
No it absolutely was notm
His combo against Lawler last night was a lot worse than this
And dumbass of the day goes too~~If by holes In my brain, you mean smarter than you, more experienced than you and a higher fight IQ than you, then yes. Absolutely.
I also never said It wasn't a decent win, don't put words In my mouth. I said that In spite of It, he still has all the same holes In his boxing, defence, openness that he's always had. Nothing has changed In that sense.
It was a good win, objectively speaking It wasn't a great win..as It would've If he'd beaten Lawler a few years ago.
Lawler Is a shell of himself. He literally looked defeated before he even entered the ring. His body language was that of an unconfident fighter. He had zero fire, desire and motivation to win. Lawler Is done. RDA put up a decent performance but that definitely wasn't the same Lawler that we've seen before. Credit where It's due but you also need to be objective about how much credit you really give him, relative to the version of Robbie he fought.
I seen a lot of holes in RDA's boxing / defence. A lot. Him beating Robbie does not change that.
on the topic of Eddie, his boxing Is still literally worlds above RDA's. He would punish those holes In the way that the Robbie of last night could not. I would still say stylistically Eddie matches up against him quite well.
You put the Eddie that just fought Gaethje up against the RDA from last night, I'd take Eddie. He'd put up a good fight tho
No it absolutely was not
The RDA Lawler barrage wasn't even close to as brutal as that, none of his punches landed as clean as even one of Alvarez's
Brutal? Lol.
Anyway,referee's criteria is not 'brutality',is intelligent defense. RDA was still on his feet trying to shake off Eddie when Herb got in. Lawler did absolutely nothing during that 42 hit combo preceeded by a BRUTAL knee to the head.
Lawler was using intelligent defense for literally the entire barrage. Just about none of it landed solidly.Brutal? Lol.
