Hernandez v. Holobaugh decision

[No Mas]

Contrary to popular belief, it was not the second round that was the decider.

Scorecards up on mmadec since for some reason they weren't for a while after the fight.

2/3 judges gave Hol the second while 0/3 gave him the first.

Yes, that's right, in a round where he had Hernandez on rollerskates, dropped him and significantly edged him both numbers wise while visibly stunning him several times with much harder shots than he got hit back with - we have him going 0/3 in that round.

I find this much more egregious than him losing the fight overall since you could argue the second was close since for some lay n praying on top for a minute seems to trump 4mins of damage (I didn't think it was particularly close but at least there was an argument for it unlike the first).

MMA judging has always been fairly incompetent and inconsistent but anyone else get the striking feeling it has regressed substantially lately? We seem to be getting wonky scores every card, several cards with multiple such scores. E.g. Santis v. Marshall last card.

You have a valid gripe, but since this doesn't have a top fighter involved or a top drama queen involved your thread wont get much traction

MMA judging has been atrocious recently

 

[SamuraiBro]

I wanted Hernandez to win, but I’m surprised he got the decision. Scoring/judging is so random and all over the place.

 

[Khaosan]

I can’t care this much about an Alexander Hernandez fight.

Nah Hernandez clearly won the fight with his wrestling and takedowns/control

Not sure which fight you watched, seems like a lot of you guys are still emotional about him promoting his fight vs Cowboy years ago, let it go

Nobody cares about Hernandez you bottomfeeder.

But seeing something like Holobaugh going 0/3 with judges in round 1 where there is no objective measure for justifying such a score is something that should make anyone outraged.

Cause this same shit goes on in higher profile fights and makes the sport look like it has regressed. Which it has in many more ways than judging, but seeing this level of incompetence at increasing intervals is absurd.

Terrible fucking decision. Judges are on the payroll and can go eat a fat cock

Yeah I didn't know what the commentators were watching. Alex got stung, went too defensive and Kurt won that first round comfortably.

Alex doesn't do great with getting hurt. He just survives from that point and the judges gave him rounds he didn't deserve.

There was no takedown control in the first round, Alex finished that round defending a guillotine from his takedown attempt. he escaped it as the round ended.

Man I feel bad for anyone who bet +3.5pts Holobaugh. For that to not cash is a robbery.

 

[wufabufa]

Holobaugh was cursed with a weird last name. He'll probably never get a push because of that.

 

[rollthedice]

1st round was close

 

[tgv976]

Judges value takedowns > everything else and IDK why.

Golden era judging had meaningless takedowns sway rounds, first round was close numbers wise too so it shouldn't come as a shock judges leaned towards the guy who got the takedown.

 

[Tweak896]

If more people cared about the 2 fighters there would be more noise, but typical judge scorecard.

Sounds like a bunch of Holobough-loo if u ask me
