Does anyone think Buckley got lucky against Wonderboy?

[Leon Edwards]

Buckley was getting beat up the whole fight until he landed a hail Mary weird jumping punch

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Not really

Iirc Buckley was winning the fight. Buckley used wrestling exchanges to wear down Stephens TDD

 

[Egészségére!]

No

But if they fought 10 more times, WB’s aging aside, it’d probably be 5-5

 

[tat2man5k]

No, not at all. Even IF he was losing, (and I'm not sure he was) he put one right on the button. Wasn't a lucky punch; it was a perfect one.

 

[Noraaq]

Yes, Wonderboy was putting on a clinic.

What I don’t understand is how Buckley never gets tired despite being so jacked. Even at elevation with that muscle mass he didn’t seem tired at all

You know why.

I love how you expect people to believe

I've been watching MMA for years

 

[tornado362]

I personally had it 19-19 going into the third. Think there are arguments for either guy in both rounds though. So nah, he didn't get lucky, it was a competitive fight and he timed a shot that caught WB

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Aging is the main concern. Wonderboy that survived Woodleys onslaught in the first fight would've won

We judge fights in the present. No excuse. They both showed up and the best man of the night won

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

A little bit but Wonderboy is old, wasn't moving the same. In His prime he wouldn't have been there to get hit with that. Well tbf in his prime he would have taken Buckley out well before then too.

Lucky he got to fight Thompson at 40

Father Time is undefeated

 

[sonhow]

One judge had it 19-19, second 20-18 Thompson and third 20-18 Buckley.

So --("_)--

 

[Doctor Grudge]

wonderboy is just old. his reflexes aren't the same.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Lucky punch, yeah.

 

[Leon Edwards]

No, not at all. Even IF he was losing, (and I'm not sure he was) he put one right on the button. Wasn't a lucky punch; it was a perfect one.

It was not a perfect punch

Same, a few years ago I assumed he was the cliché of the jacked explosive guy who gets tired after one round, but the truth is that he got cardio for days.

 

[TheMadHatter]

wonderboy definitely looked like the better striker and was giving buckley trouble. i dont think buckley got lucky though, he used the cage to help land that shot. it was set up nicely.

It was a split draw heading into round 3. Buckley was not "getting beat up" the whole fight.

If it went to a decision, Derek Clearly's round 3 card would have decided the winner.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Not lucky, I thought the fight was quite close up until that point, Thompson was landing better strikes and Buckley took him down a few times and also did land some nice punches himself. I will admit though that 41 year old Thompson doesn't move the same, he isn't as agile as he used to be, I think that punch wouldn't have landed 8 years ago.
