Can we universally say that the 4th round of the Overeem/Sakai fight is a 10-8 round?

[Bend NvR Break]

Has scoring evolved that we can agree on this? Or is Frankie vs Maynard 2 rounds 1 still the standard for a 10-8 round?

 

[GiTGuD]

Frankie vs Edgar 2 rounds 1 still the standard for a 10-8 round?

 

[kkthx]

frankie vs edgar was such a great fight.

 

[IceWater]

This is what a 10-8 Reem looks like.

 

[BFoe]

Yes. Round 4 of Overeem-Sakai was 10-8.

 

[Whippy McGee]

Until 1,2, and 5 is acknowledged, I will not universally agree to anything!

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

absolutely not - it was a solid 10-9

sakai was winning prior to the TD and landed some damaging elbows and reem did not do enough damage to threaten a finish

 

[mime]

Go further 10-7

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

I agree. and so does derrick lewis

 

[Sticko]

IIRC the rules say that where there is major impact in a round that gets close to a finish, the judges should consider giving a 10-8 score. However, they don't say judges must give a 10-8 score in this scenario.

Prior to the takedown the round was fairly even with Sakai probably ahead.

I think either a 10-9 or a 10-8 is defensible here.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

It was a 10-DEATH round.

link to frankie vs edgar or gtfo

 

[The Big Babou]

I thought it was maaaaaaybe 10-8, but who cares? It was a good fight & Reem won.

 

[mbeethoven]

All three judges scored it 10-8, FWIW

 

[L0ki]

Scored it 10-9.

I scored Edgar Maynard II round 1 as one of the few 10-7's I've ever given out.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Yes that was a hellacious beatdown

 

[po_thead]

Easy 10-8 on my card
