(Conor was robbed blind of a clear cut dominant UD decision over Nate)
Tells me all I need to know <45>
(Conor was robbed blind of a clear cut dominant UD decision over Nate)
Im truly flabbergasted
Romero dropped Whittaker, and then the rest of the round was Whittaker holding on to a single, Romero riding the back, or both battling for position in the clinch
Where is this fake news coming from that Romero beat Whitaker from corner to corner while scoring multiple knockdowns?
Under no criteria was it a 10-8 round
It wasn't a round where a fighter had total and absolute full control from a very dominant position for the entirety of the round ala Shogun's round 5 against Hendo (Shogun was robbed of a DRAW)
It wasnt a round where a fighter was dropped numerous times and had an absolute striking clinic put on them ala Conor's massacre striking clinic on Nate in round 2 of their rematch (Conor was robbed blind of a clear cut dominant UD decision over Nate)
There was NOTHING about Romero's round 5 that ever consistuted a legit 10-8 round, no matter the criteria you try to use.
Just goes to show you how many were brainwashed by Rogan's insanely biased commentary
Remember, all MMA fights are scored round by round, so based on the actual scoring criteria, the only correct decision was Whittaker 48-47. Judges were actually bang on spot on with this fight. Super super super close fight, but a fight that Romero in no way deserved to actually win
For all the talk about 10-8s, how ABOUT WHITTAKER'S round 1. Whittaker out struck Romero in the numbers by some crazy amount in that round.

Because MMA shouldn’t be judged as point karate. Romero marched right through that wimpy shit in round 1, but Whittaker was flopping around like a fish when Romero landed his bombs in round 5. Is it really that hard to comprehend?I thought that to lol. If round 5 is a 10-8 how ain't 1.
Romero did absolutely nothing in that round ffs.
100%I did not see the fight and don't want to watch it now, since I know the result obviously.
but from I red and heard from you guys I am kind of disappointed. Dana was asked a really good question at the post fight press conference. Was that a 10-8 round and if not, then what is a 10-8 round? he only said that was a 10-9 round to him, but did not bother to answer the second part of the question. I know, it is not his job to score a fight, but it looks like a lot of people actually don't know anything about the scoring system or how it should be used.
I've been repeating this all over and over again, that more 10-8 and 10-10 rounds should be used. I am affraid that with this kind of attitude there will be no progress, but we will see more and more BS decisions.
At least we'll still have some reason to be mad.
No. He fought back in both rounds. He got dropped near the 2:30 Mark of round 5. You cant ignore all the offence Whittaker scored with against Yoel prior to being dropped.I know the arguement you are trying to make but the problem is that one of those rounds he competely turtled up and wasn't even fighting back he just was doing that thing where the only place open is the back of the head. One of the rounds he really didn't fight back. He got back up and then was almost tkod along the fence
Romero dropped him, out landed him by 30 strikes and did about 3 trip take downs while controlling 95% of the round
If thats not a 10-8 then I dont know what is
The arguement is tjat michael jackson got a 10-8 and the womans fight had a judges score a 10-8. Its inconsistent with what we saw that night.
