How many rounds did you score for Izzy/Rob?

How, what, who?

  • Total voters
    270
1st - Clearly Izzy, he actually outclassed Rob in the opening round
2nd - Close and kinda boring round. But what stood out was how Rob bounced back + scored a TD, so I gave it to him.
3rd - Back and forth, with Izzy landing the better shots and looking more technical. Rob failed with his TD as Izzy got back up instantly, so in the end it's Izzy's round.
4th - On the fence about this one, it was SUPER close. I think what made me lean towards Izzy here is how afraid Rob looked once he actually landed big shots in the clinch. Bascially he let Izzy go, to be controlled from the outside again. Fight IQ-wise Izzy looked better and as the more confident fighter, but then again Rob went for a sub so I can see why people gave him the edge.
5th - Rob's round as Izzy was just waiting for the final horn it seemed. He knew that he'd probably done enough in rd 3 and 4, so Rob was clearly the aggressor.

48-47 to Israel Adesanya. I could agree with 48-48 if we make the 4th round a 10-10 draw.
 
Honestly a bunch of blocked headkicks that Israel gave to Whittaker is more damaging than any takedowns that were mounted in round 2.

I mean Robert did nothing with those early round takedowns, Israel got up right away if he was even taken down. I feel like I'm back in 2003 where people just assume takedowns equal round lost.

Israel did more damage to Robert throughout the fight, certainly not just a "drunk Bisping" bias. Saying someone scored it for Israel therefore they are noobs is dumb.
 
i had it 3-2 rob.
i thought 4-1 izzy didnt make sense
3-2 izzy is ok too.
I think ppl scoring izzys octagon control but not robs takedowns are wack af. Either you accept that walking forward doesn't mean anything in terms of scoring or that a takedown is a form of octagon control.

I do think if rob was the title holder and izzy was the challenger, rob would have received the nod...but can't prove that.
 
3-2 Rob or 3-2 Izzy is the only right answer. However Izzy only did any damage by the leg kick, whereas Robert was landing mostly with strikes to the head. Also the leg kicks never affected Robert to where he was limping, etc. Don't see why we keep giving these fights to the guy who only lands leg kicks over head strikes. Having the head snapped back >>> leg kicks, imo.
 
I scored only the 5th for Rob and every other round for Izzy. I popped when Rob got on Izzy's back and attempted the RNC. I wish Rob won.

beltran giving the 5th to izzy...makes me wonder wtf was going on.
imo a SD either way is the card i expected.
3-0 for izzy and one having it 4-1...it's a bit perplexing to say the least.
 
I gave the first to Izzy, and 4+5 to Rob. 2 and 3 were really close and I could make the case for either.

The biggest problem was that it felt like Israel could have ended it at any moment, but chose not to. That leg of Rob's was done and when Israel let loose he was landing with good power and accuracy.
 
To me it was 3-2 Izzy. People love to trash him for doing what he needs to do and fighting smart, but will not say anything about Robert who was more than happy with hoping that his few takedowns which were devoid of any damage or control would win him a fight in which he is happy to land sometimes and just go backwards rest of the time. He did the same thing that Izzy did, only less efficient. Still, there is nobody who has the chance in that top 5 besides him and he showed it again. Close fight, but Rob cannot be thinking that one takedown from which opponent gets up immediately means that he won the round.

most sure with 1st to Pakistanya, 5th to Bob
most positive with 3rd Pakistanya, 4th Bob
2nd round closer to Pakistanman rather than for Rob

3-2 Israel

p.s. funniest thing is Beltran managed to score 2nd for Bob but didnt score 4th or 5th for him. Judging is either incompetent or corrupted. Noone can convince me otherwise

Actually head strikes were 36 Whitaker: 38 Adesanya, with the best shot being Izzy's knockdown of Rob r1.

Leg kicks were 29:13 to Adesanya. And I'd say when they are marking up Robs leg, causing him to wobble or almost kicking him over- as happened a few times- that they are significant enough to count.

We also have a couple of takedowns in there, with no ability to establish control or do damage from them. But maybe enough to get Rob a couple of rounds.

So closeish fight. I can see Rob getting a round, maybe 2 at a stretch. But he was clearly outclassed and unable to put much of a threat to Adesanya imo.
 
I give Rob a round, two rounds if Im generous.

He looked vastly outsized and the kicks were just tearing him a new one.

The TDs had little control after hitting the canvas.
 
I just enjoyed the fight.
Wasn't 'scoring it' just watching.

1 seemed clear Izzy
5 Rob

2-4 close enough to conceive of a judge scoring it either way.

Leg kicks > takedowns without any control
Octagon control helped but it is not the main factor.
 
rob was never in control of the fight, and he has to know it.

panic wrestling is never a good look. it reeks of desperation.

4-1 izzy
 
3-2 Izzy and it wouldn't even be this controversial if you guys could just put your dislike of Israel to the side long enough to assess the match properly. Now that being stated, it was close and Israel's performance was somewhat disappointing.
 
3-2 Whitaker but I admit that it could have gone either way because Rob backpedaled too much and let Israel take the middle of the octagon. You must beat the champ convincingly.
