In GSP Hendricks so many cried robbery because Johnny did so much supposed damage. If that was the case why was GSP able to completely dominate him in the 5th? That's why judging each round as to whether or not it was more dominant then the last adds a layer to separate one razor close 10-9 from a clear 10-9. Would also incentivize dominance in a round which is more likely to lead to a finish.If that's the case then makes sense why some judges randomly score opposite for the opponent when the first 2 are close. There's ways to deal with anyone watching. I couldve sworn we've had judges who had mistakes on scorecards and rescored after the fight was over.
To be honest when I score at home I rewrite my own score cards or start to doubt my own score for previous rounds when 1 fighter takes the fight over. It sort of makes sense, like you think one aspect of the fight is most damaging but then later you realize it didn't affect the other guy.
Recently was Pereira Ankalaev where I thought Alex kicks were brutal and going to stop Ank and chop him down. But as the fight went on I didn't see him really affected. Judging is a hard job sometimes.
