Media DW doesn't like the way 10-8 rounds are scored in 2021

[SeattleFightFan]

10-8's to me always have been a fighter whooping another fighters ass to the point where the ref took a few close looks. Should we award Cyril Gane 5 10-8 rounds against Rozenstruik, just because he dominated the fight?

I have no horse in this race since I like both fighters a lot and just prayed the fight doesn't end in some bullshit. But if I'm being honest I have a hard time seeing Jan getting two 10-8's in a row for the fourth and fifth round. I had him 3-2 and winning but the judges handed these 10-8's out way too easily. Jan didn't even try to get Izzy out of there once they hit the ground.

That’s what 10-8s were before 2018.

I think almost everyone agrees with Dana about last night’s 10-8’s. But I also think Dana is wrong when he suggests there has been a multitude of bad 10-8s lately.

Let’s remember, we all know Dana is a hot head. Suggesting he may have been a hot head last night on this one particular issue should not be too surprising.

I said the same thing as TS here

“Dana is now just saying the overcorrection has gone a bit too far. Last night he was correct but generally I disagree with him. The last few years of slightly more liberal 10-8s have been much better than the prior 18 years of almost impossible to get a 10-8.”​

Carlos Condit would've been the undisputed UFC WW champ and his career might not have taken taken a skydive if the judges correctly scored a round 10-8b in his fight with Lawler.
