Val reaching for that Aljo victory. Lmao

I watched it but not closely when it happened
I watched it closely a little while ago

Valentina made a huge mistake at the end of the 5th, in the 2nd fight, got taken down, body triangled. Face cranked and the optics were real bad
Her making a mistake on that spinning kick in the first fight cost her her title- it was actually hard to believe, that another mistake late in the fight yet again
she was winning both fights cleanly, but in the 2nd fight she was clearly in control 3 mins into the 5th until the takedown which happened because she lost her grip ona headlock going for her own takedown- she survived a flash knock down in the 2nd round which didn’t hurt her
She gave up one takedown in the 2nd but nothing happened with it
In this 2nd fight, she had , 5 takedowns, lots of control time, messed Grassos face up, she was bleeding from at least 2 places badly, jabbed her continuously and elbowed her up close a bunch of times - hardly threw any kicks but several body kicks to the liver landed clean

I think she won the fight regardless of the takedown in the 5th
I had her winning 1 , 3, 4 and 5

What did I miss to make it a split draw

Not a damn thing. Great analysis.

They specifically had a call on the Val/Grasso fight.

NSAC exec: Grasso's 10-8 round scored wrong

NSAC executive director Jeff Mullen, speaking on a judges training call Wednesday, said he didn't agree with the controversial 10-8 score for Alexa Grasso in the final round of her fight against Valentina Shevchenko

www.espn.com

If they had scored the fight 10-9 instead of 10-8, Val would have won the belt by split decision.

Your link verifies what I said. They had a call to discuss the scoring of that one round in isolation and 10-8 rounds in general -- they did not have a meeting on the scoring of that 5 round fight as a whole.

One judge gave Grasso a 10-8 round. They held a commission meeting after and confirmed that was a mistake and that Val should have won the fight.

....so why is Grasso still champion? Zero accountability.

Any source on that? I would be floored if an actual named source revealed that.

Most people think Valentina won the second fight.

 

[Shogun515]

This is the fight I'm most looking forward to. That first was was so close and dramatic, I'm hoping for the same in this one. I thought Shevchenko won the first one.

I think she did overall, but that mistake in the 5th was huge and it was a very bad look very late in that fight
She didn’t get up for a couple mins and when she did , she didn’t do anything
It was very close fight

She got subbed
You mean the 2nd one right?

Very much hope that Grasso takes the third fight.

I just rewatched it. It was much closer than I remember. I think a draw was fair. I had Valentina 3-2 but it could've been either way. Mike Bell had it 10-8 in round 5 for Grasso. He should be fired.

Bell had another controversy in another fight can’t remember which one
I was all onboard Valentina victory until that takedown in the 5th
I think a draw is fair too - the strike count is very heavy in her favor
