Explain to me how the 1st round of Yoel/Izzy isnt 10-10

[ExitLUPin]

Per the actual scoring rules

"The following objective scoring criteria shall be utilized by the judges when scoring a round:

1. a round is to be scored as a 10-10 round when both contestants appear to be fighting evenly and neither contestant shows clear dominance in a round;"

Yoel landed 4 strikes, 1 to the head and body, 2 to the legs
Izzy landed 2 strikes, both to the legs

there was 0 grappling offense so thats irrelevant for this round. Neither had octagon control or effective aggression. Yoel landed the best strike with the counter but are we really gonna lie to ourselves and say there was a winner in a 5 minute round where 5 total strikes were landed?

Rd 1 is a CLEAR 10-10 round even if u dont like scoring 10-10s

This fight was a draw and that outcome wouldve been the best as neither fighter did enough to actually get a win on their record

 

[Mike]

Because they don't score 10-10 rounds.

 

[Washad]

Yoel landed the most significant strike of the entire fight in that round, Izzy didnt land a single sig strike, stfu. Clear 10-9.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Because they don't score 10-10 rounds.

Except they do and its in the actual official UFC scoring criteria

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

That was Yoels round, he landed a huge blow.

You listen to Rogan and DC too much.

That was one of the clearest round IMO

 

[BoTyson]

R1 was a snooze fest with yoel covering his face standing still and throwing a overhand when Izzy would engage, Izzy was the aggressor, Yoel land 2 significant strikes so you could argue it either way.

Round 2-5 clear easy wins for Izzy, because Yoel did literally nothing but milk a eye poke and almost score 2 takedowns.

Izzy broke his finger between rounds i think in the second or 3rd you can clearly see him mention it, i just can't remember which round because the fight was so samey.

Then after 5 rounds of Yoel standing with his face covered throwing about 10 punches maximum, Yoel complains about Izzy 'not coming to fight' when Izzy was the aggressor from start to finish and it was clear Yoel was the guy fighting scared by the way he was completely defensive.

 

[Night Slasher]

Romero landed a big punch
That one him the round

Super rare though. Usually they will find a way to edge it for someone. People don't like draw rounds or fights ending in a draw.

That's the truest answer you're going to get.

"Yoel landed 4 strikes, 1 to the head and body, 2 to the legs

There ya go.

If the first round is decided by only one punch, making it a 10-9 round, then any other round that is won more dominantly, henceforth, should be 10-8 or lower.

It is ridiculous that one punch landed in five minutes could potentially win 20-33% of a fight.

It's either that, or a draw. Which, to me, seems fairer than giving that much emphasis to one punch.

 

[asdffdsa]

According to Izzy that first shot had him seeing double. It was a powerful shot. Izzy did nothing. 10-9 Romero.

 

[europe1]

That one clean punch Yoel intercepted him with was clearly and undisputably the winning move of the round.

 

[SteveColdStone]

I personally think it’s a bit lazy to score rounds 10-10 but this one one of the fights where I’d consider using them. I saw enough from Yoel to give him the round. He landed a damaging strike that was clearly the most impactful of the round.

"Yoel landed 4 strikes, 1 to the head and body, 2 to the legs
Izzy landed 2 strikes, both to the legs"

There ya go.

LOL. Not only that but only one of those strikes was clean and significant and it was a big punch from Yoel.

 

[jeff7b9]

Crazy as it sounds, one clean punch can win a round under the current scoring criteria.

That round is a 10-9 Yoel for the solid counter right.

 

[revoltub]

It should be 0 - 0 because they stunk up the round

That’s not how it works.

You are welcome to hold the opinion that it should work like that, but in reality, it doesn’t work like that.

Every round in that fight was a 10-9 by the scoring criteria. For a 10-10 they would have to not throw any strikes, no grappling, not touch each other, no one move a step farther forward, no one act more aggressive- you could literally probably win that hypothetical round by flexing and yelling in the last 2 seconds.

10-10 rounds are like unicorns.

Judges are incompetent.

A guy at the bar scored it 10-10 as well. He's a former fighter too for that matter.

I was like, WTF? When's the last 10-10 anyone can remember?

I know that's not how it works. I scored the first round for Yoel based on the current scoring criteria. I'm just stating how flawed it is that one punch decided 20% of a fight.
