so many prospects and uprising fighters derailed tonight. a night for dog bettors.
Song decision let's go
I got Sandman by stoppage.i got the finish
I actually want to know how those were upset about Nascimento getting round 3 feel about round 3 here. In this round, there was actual damage done by Algeo. Solid punches and about 40 of them. Because Fili had his back and got close on a choke that DAMAGE doesn't matter? Or should Algeo have won that round?
I say absolutely yes. The only reason a dominant position is dominant is because it gives you leverage to attack. If a fighter is doing less from a dominant position then the other guy it makes no sense to me to just hand it to the guy in dominant position. The position is just a means to and end. The end is supposed to be damage or subs. So yeah not many judges would score it for the guy with his back taken even if he's landing more effective offence, but that's only because it's so rare for the guy with the back taken lands more effective offence. Reality is Algeo was scoring more than Fili with his back taken. That said if both fighters are doing nothing then you have to give it to the guy in the dominant position.
But that's just my personal opinion. What matters is how judges score it and it seems like there is zero consistency with these situations. Even tonight the judges don't seem to agree considering they were both split decision fights.
Its 2-0 Song to me.
Yeah, could easily be 1-1 or even 0-2, but less likely.If damage is the #1 factor...dat gaping wound over the eye says Corey did more of it.
