Greatest robbery in the history... well, since Jones-Gus

[georgwilhelm**]

is the split decision for Shields. I had it 3 rounds for Maia definitely (1,4,5), maybe even four (all but the second). What do you think?

I thought Shields won it, but if Maia got it I wouldn't have been surprised. Robbery...not even close.

 

[TASTEofmySCYTHE]

Shields and Jones both clearly won IMO.

Was rooting for Maia and Gus.

A close fight is not a robbery, I thought it could have gone either way tbh.

 

[georgwilhelm**]

Close. Yes. But 1,4 and 5 clear nonetheless.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

hahahahaha give it a rest, robbery? you guys just forgot how good shields is on the ground, that was nothing close to a robbery.

I'm with you 100%. It's unfortunate they lost, but I did agree with both decisions.

I don't think it was such a terrible robbery because I had Jake winning two rounds, but I would bet good money the judge who scored Rd.1 for Shields never grappled a day in his life.

 

[Wayweary]

Shields won only because he has a style that lets him game the system.

 

[Jonny Bones]

Come on man, they were both super close fights and I actually agree with both decisions.

 

[Kazuya Mishima]

Honestly round 1 I thought was Maia

 

[SocraticMethod]

Close. Yes. But 1,4 and 5 clear nonetheless.

No. Round 1 was very evenly split with Maia controlling the first half and Shields controlling the second half. I scored it 10-10, but knowing that judges never do that, I figured Shields would get the nod via being on top at the end.

2 and 3 were obviously Shields. 4 was obviously Maia. 5 I gave to Maia, but it was by no means a runaway round for him.

 

[georgwilhelm**]

All in all a close fight. But please explain how 1,4,5 could not have gone to Maia?!

You don't say someone named Jonny Bones with a Jones avy agrees with the Gus-Jones decision. What a shocker

1st: Maia did do some damage. Shields lay n' pray. Maia had takedowns, top control and damage, Shields had top control.

All in all a close fight.

and yet you put "greatest robbery in history" in the title holy fuck.....sigh I deserve this for opening your shit thread

 

[CageSage]

lol wut, Maia might not have even won the last round, neither fighter really did all that much.

 

[Jonny Bones]

You don't say someone named Jonny Bones with a Jones avy agrees with the Gus-Jones decision. What a shocker

Obviously I'm biased for the JBJ/Gus fight but that has no relevance to the fight last night.

 

[TeamTanner]

So the new definition of "robbery" is any close fight which you personally would have scored the other way.



Do you feel important now?

 

[Lobber]

Robbery?? Not even close... I had 1, 4, and 5 for Maia as well but obviously a close fight so how could a decision either way be "robbery"??

On an unrelated topic, I'm new here and cannot figure out how to start a new thread, what am I missing?? Its something simple I'm sure but I've looked through everything and still can't figure out how to do anything but comment on an already existing thread.
