How did you score Round 1 of Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor 3?

[JayPettryMMA]

Simple question. The official Sherdog scorers did not hand in their tallies because the fight was over as soon as we saw McGregor's ankle give way. As the official Sherdog Play-by-Play guy, I would have scored the round 10-8 to Poirier, and I'm not sure how my two editor colleagues scored it in our panel.

Of the three cageside judges, Derek Cleary and Junichiro Kamijo scored R1 10-8 for Poirier, and Sal D'Amato scored R1 10-9 for Poirier.



What say you? Was the first round of Poirier-McGregor 3 a 10-8 round?

10-8 seems fair

 

[MartiniSIDe]

10-9 Poirier but there's an argument for 10-8 with how the fights are judged in the past few months /years.

For me, it was a really clear 10-9.

Considering how McGregor went down at the end of the round and looked like he was about to be stopped with Poirier smashing him as McGregor assumed the foetal position, it would be a 10-8.

But, up until that moment before he went down with injury, it would've been a 10-9. Poirier won the round clearly but McGregor was competitive enough for it to not be a 10-8.

Can you give a 10-6 round?

 

[Kryptt]

10-9 Poirier imo but whatever...

 

[Jose Beehive]

10-9 Poirier imo whatever...

I will note that scores are handed in without the luxury of replay (to see the sequence where McGregor went down in slow motion) or official strike totals. I saw the punch exchange and McGregor drop to the mat and was under the immediate impression Poirier scored a knockdown, and didn't learn until well after the round was over that it was the shin snapping. Hence my 10-8, after the heavy elbows Poirier was landing and that Herb Dean was coming close to stepping in a few times.

I could see 10-8 For Dustin.

 

[Spiritual Sight]

For the lols

 

[mooseman17]

10-9 since the punch missed and he didn’t actually drop Conor. 10-8 if he did.

 

[theTKDguy]

It's a 10-8 nowadays

What say you? Was the first round of Poirier-McGregor 3 a 10-8 round?

The stats were 36-27
No positioning beyond gaurd
No drops or Knockdowns.

10-8 is a legitimate impossible score.
Keep the names of those on the polls to ignore later on any scoring criteria.

10-9. Conor landed very good kicks.

He got rocked but was still there.

If you count the leg break as a credit to Dustin then sure ... 10-8.

But if you dont give Dustin credit for that ... then i dont see a 10-8. It wasn't one sided.

It was a comeptitve round for half of it and then ome guy dominated the second half of it.

Clear winner for the round but not total domination.

10-9, but not mad at the 10-8 proposal.

I think Dustin actually broke conors foot when Conor did the teep kick and Dustin blocked it. This was the last 10 seconds of the round. And he checked his leg kick earlier in the round. Conman is done

 

[anachronist]

I didn't watch the fight but I did listen to Conor's post fight interview and going by his analysis of the fight - I would go with 10-8 Conor.

 

[MDoza]

10-9. I didn’t consider the leg snapping a knockdown.

 

[Nightgunner05]

I said it in another thread, but if that is a 10-8, then what the hell is the score when someone does nothing from the bottom?

 

[Eiger]

10-9, but was getting very very close to a 10-8 imho.
