He was outstriking him, all Woodley had was one big punch and a gullitone that he escaped
I thought it was either a draw or thompson won.

Did you score that round a 10-8 for Woodley? I think it was the 3rd or 4th? Where he almost ripped WB's head off? If so, you have to score it a draw because even WB thinks he lost the 1st round.He was outstriking him, all Woodley had was one big punch and a gullitone that he escaped
He won 3 rounds, so this idea that he got schooled or outstruck is a bit of a stretch. Woodley reckons he won round 3 which I thought was bizarre, he has more of a claim to round 2 because at least he held Wonderboy against the fence for a bit, in between Wonderboy throwing more strikes and landing more strikes.
Round 1 consisted of 2 minutes of circling with basically no strikes landed, Woodley didn't even throw a strike, then Woodley lying in half guard for 2 and a half minutes unable to land any shots to the head, followed by 3 or 4 good head strikes in the last 30 seconds. Wasn't even that close to a 10-8, I've heard people say under the new rules it'll be a clear 10-8 which I think is a shame if that is the case. Compare Khabib's ground and pound vs MJ that same night vs Woodley laying in half guard for half the round. The blood made this look far worse than it was.
Round 4 a clear 10-8.
Scored it a draw.
People who are complaining about the scoring in this fight must be complaining about the scoring system MMA uses rather than the judging actually being incorrect. To me this one wasn't even that difficult to score, at least in terms of who won which rounds. The best you can do is give Woodley a win by giving him two rrounds at 10-8 but that would be very generous (under the old rules at least).
He also had the takedown and ground and pound in the first fight but you are definitley right. Wonderboy was just too hesitant and Woodley was finally able to land a bomb in the fourth. Wonderboy needs open up more this time and commit to his strikes like he was starting to do in the 5th round.He was outstriking him, all Woodley had was one big punch and a gullitone that he escaped
