Bellator 239 Ruth vs Amosov

[PolarBearPaulVarelans]

My condolences to Girtz backers. Great play, excellent value, and the rightful winner.

Also, SHUT THE FUCK UP, Jury. You just won a borderline robbery. You shouldn't be demanding shit. You should feel bad for the money you're making and fighting that far below your potential.

Jury wants it all. How about a clear impressive win ?

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

I missed r1 but looked like Gritz had r2 and r3.

He won 3-0 but bellator can't afford jury to keep losing after the signing and had to protect him just now.

 

[PuertoRican]

All three judges giving Jury the first round doesn't make sense.

r1 was clearest round I feel like. Man that decision was BS.

 

[LEMONZEST]

I dont usually buy into judging conspiracy but that really felt like Bella needed Jury to win.

.75u for .5u on the over 2.5R's here.
Partly out of boredom

Big John, too.

To be fair, 3 out of 3 media members gave Jury round 1 (and the fight, 29-28) too, and I'm PRETTY sure that they're not on Bellator's payroll, heh. (Not that Jury is that big of a signing or that much of a cornerstone for Bellator)

Maybe they were crediting the knees that hit Girtz on the chest? Who knows.

 

[Sono07]

Ha the commentary team just said "protect ya neck". Love it, I too am a fan of the Wu Tang Clan.

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

Damn 22-0 record impressive, only a small favorite though. Don't know much about him but excited for this fight.

 

[Sono07]

Fast hands for the favorite

 

[Sono07]

Feeling bad about my over bet. Looks like a big speed advantage for Amosov. Hoping the grappling slows the pace.

Both fighters have very high finish rates too. It was vs lesser competition tbf though. At least 1 round is down so far.

 

[PolarBearPaulVarelans]

Close round, but I gave it to Amosov.

Very amusing; Ruth is a better wrestler, but Amosov's use of judo makes him the slightly better overall grappler.

Monster wrestler with especially good submissions with pretty good, if not overwhelming striking.

 

[Sono07]

Ruth definitely had that wrestlers footwork. Nice angle change on that TD attempt though.

 

[Sono07]

Wow he actually used that roll to take top position not bad at all.

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

This is main event but not 5 rounds, why?

 

[PolarBearPaulVarelans]

Ruth is real lucky this fight isn't 5 rounds. Amosov would be like -300 there.

Bellator only uses 5 rounds for championship fights, not main events like the UFC.
