How is it anything but 1-1? You value Alex's win more because he got his hand raised faster? Or you feel it more emphatic? The fight's not about you or what you like. All about getting your hand raised. One way or another.
If you take a fight while you are hurt or sick, and you take the L or get KO'd as a result of making a stupid decision, it is what it is. There were plenty of posters on here well-before the fight saying Alex looked off. If he was sick, if his hand was broken, he could have dropped out at any time. The decision to fight was on him and his camp, and he chose to fight. But Alex is a fighter first, athlete second. Alex's loss is on him and no one else. Doesn't matter why he wasn't ready last time, that ship has sailed.
Alex took this fight way more seriously, and it showed. He showed up healthy and focused and won the fight. So yes, they're one and one. I don't take either loss or win as better than the other. Both wins won fights and titles.
If Ank/Pereira want to run it back, I'll watch it without a single complaint. I liked both fights, so you can't threaten me with a good time by making me watch a third bout. If Alex says fuck LHW, that's his decision but I hope he does. Dana can't make guys fight each other, he's already made that clear, so if Alex doesn't want to engage with Ank again, oh well.
