Controversial Fight of the Night: Was Hector Lombard Robbed?

[ReadWrite]

Some say the ref should have stopped the beatdown. What say you (poll)?

(If the ref had stopped the fight, Lombard may not have gassed.)

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Nah im glad Magny got the chance to defend himself cause we got a great comeback after a brutal beat down in the first round. I wish more refs would take this approach.

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

Yep. Lombard was on his way to winning that fight 30-25 before the early stoppage in the 3rd.

 

[TheGreatA]

At no point was Magny in a position where he couldn't defend himself.

 

[Mga223]

Yep. Lombard was on his way to winning that fight 30-25 before the early stoppage in the 3rd.

Hahahahahaha

Can't believe both rounds were scored 10-9

 

[MachidaNo1Fan]

Nah. But Hector unloaded was too much energy trying to finish, when the finish wasn't there. Had he just waited after Neil had recovered, reset, he probably could've finished him. Instead, blew his entire tank and beat himself.

 

[Bmurray]

If Magny had gone out in the 2nd and gotten clobbered the results of this poll would be different, despite the situation in the 1st being the same.

 

[FrodoFraggins]

no he wasn't robbed, magny wasn't simply turtling, he was making an effort to get into a better position and he succeeded.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Magny is a marine.
dude is rugged af & has
come back from plenty
of tough spots. There was
less of a need for rescue in
the first, than there was in
the second round, imo.

Magny did what he had to
do. He weathered sloweather
& worked him over. Guy's legit

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Sherdog play by play gave Lombard a 10-8 first round and a 10-7 second round to Magny.

Fight should've been stopped in the second Imo

 

[SCTwins]

No.

Although I think the ref tried to make up for it by letting Lombard eat 50 unanswered strikes to the dome before calling it.

 

[Mr T_712]

He should have stopped the fight but at least he was consistent in he didn't stop it at the end of round two when Magny was ground and pounding Lombart

 

[Cruz]

Nope, Magny was always defending himself.

 

[cagebrain]

good poll.

 

[HIMBOB]

Hahahahahaha

Can't believe both rounds were scored 10-9

You cereal???

1st and 2nd were 10-9s?????

 

[Mga223]

You cereal???

1st and 2nd were 10-9s?????

Yeap was 19-19 going into the 3rd, someone posted the thread with the scorecard

 

[Team Sleep]

The only just stoppage in that fight was in round 3 when Magny had the mounted triangle and there was nowhere Hector could go, or an arm to defend himself.

Scored both of the first two rounds a 10-8.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Lol, a pro fighter was given every chance to recover as is right. Then he did and whipped Hector's ass. Hector wasn't robbed and the fans were treated a sick come back. Anyone crying about it should shut up and appreciate what we got

 

[WarKO]

It was the opposite... they should have stopped it when Hector got 40 blows from a guy laying on his back while he covered up for a minute

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Nothing controversial about that fight at all, after the initial onslaught from Hector, Neil Magny destroyed him.
