Claudia Gadelha got completely robbed

[Michu]

Close fight, Joanna won thoug. And that judas punch... man.. that

 

[Ruprecht]

Could of gone either way (hence the split).
Round 2 was the decider. Control and takedowns versus striking quantity.
Claudia didn't do enough with the control though, either GnP or sub attempts.
There's always been some inconsistency in how that's scored, and if anything it seems like takedowns without gnp or sub attempts are starting to be downplayed.

Offtop: how did you manage to get a red thumb-down in the thread title? Is there a "vote down" button somewhere?

 

[Marbig]

I scored it for Claudia but round 2 was close. Claudia got the takedown but Joanna clearly out struck her.

I'm not too unhappy about the decision. Claudia is a good fighter but her vs Carla would be a competition of who could get the takedown and hold the other on the ground. That will not be exciting (although it will be technical) which will turn fans away from the new div.

I gave it a draw. Round 2 was as close to a 10-10 as they come. Round 3 was Claudia's.

 

[Lord Siriuz]

I'd say i scored it for Claudia, but i was rooting for Joanna and she won by way of "Lawler Hendricks 2" so i'm not complaining

 

[Jackonflame]

Agreed.

 

[TheCoward]

I'd have to agree. But after the late shot I'm glad she did not win.

Same here

Both punches at the end of the round were low blows, but Gadelha's was much, much lower.

Still, worst case scenario she would have a point deducted and it should have ended up in draw.

Let's see what the press think about that fight: http://www.mmadecisions.com/decision/5757/Joanna-Jedrzejczyk-vs-Cláudia-Gadelha

 

[MMun]

Round by round, I had it for Gadelha, but it was a very close fight. Not a decision worth complaining about.

 

[vaicavalo]

Gadelha clearly won, that's what you get when you have untrained monkeys judging fights

 

[tuff juice]

Claudia Gadelha got completely eye-fingered for 3 rounds.

 

[MMABr]

yep, I thought she won the last 2 rounds as well.

 

[CPH]

Nonsense. First scoring consideration goes to damage, of which Joanna did enough to trump Claudia's control. At best, Claudia could have gotten a draw. A win for her would have been just wrong.

Thing is, she blew that fight with poor tactics. Over and over, she kept dragging Jedi to the cage and giving her the chance to get up. She deserved to lose and did.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

They both won one round and the second round could go either way according to how much weight you give to the hard knock-down (edit : or was it in the first ?). I'd be okay with any of them winning but lol at saying this was a robbery.

 

[Toco]

well she made a criminal act after the fight so nice that she lost

and she wouldnt win against carla anyway

 

[Toco]

if she win everyone would be outraged about sucker punch after bell (ref was even between them).

But she lost a close fight. So people are like "ah okay, she lost anyways."

luckiest robbery ever. lol

i think its exactly this

it seems like people thought it was fair that she lost, me included

but if she had won people would be complaining a lot

 

[JT RIPPER]

That term robbery is so over used on here...every close fight gets called a robbery, you wanna know a freakin robbery? A robbery would be if Nate got the decision...a close fight ending in decision can never really be a robbery

Is she "clearly" did enough to win but lost a decision, that's a robbery...doing just enough to maybe earn a decision is not
