a clear 10-8 would have one fighter in complete control of the round here that was not the case so it's not a clear 10-8
it could be a 10-8 or a 10-9
but you could score it a 10-8 if you wanted to
This is the exact situation.
Under the instructions at the time of this fight, it was a 10-9 round for Fabio, because at the end of the round, Fedor was battering Fabio, making him retreat. So if you have a round where a guy got hurt, but at the start and end of that round, the hurt guy had been winning, it was not a dominate round, because the losing fighter still had very effective offense.
Under the new instructions, a clean knockdown like that should have a point go down. So if you lost the round, it's 10-9, but if you were cleanly knocked down and also lost the round it's a 10-8.
So if this fight happened under current instructions, it's a draw. Under the instructions at the time of the fight, Fedor won,... But the Ref could have called the fight in the first round and there would have been nothing wrong with that.
At this point, if people trash what I'm saying, they are just Fedor haters. Everything I've said is by the book, fair and level headed.
