Media Jon Jones vs Reyes Round 2 Footage

[LoadedZeus]

Considering it literally doesn't say anything about champions being granted leniency on scoring...


... one can argue with that... Because it literally does not exist.

This is a real sport with real rules, and the Unified Rules do not not state such a rule.

Never said anything about it being in the rulebooks. Its something the entire mma community knows about, where judges tend to score rounds for the defending champ when rounds are super close. Commentators talk about it all the time, fans talk about it, but when its Jones, people act as if they are hearing about this the first time, smh. The round was close but I thought Jones did enough to edge it out.

Either way it was very close, so I don't see how people can argue with the judges giving the round to Jones. Its not as if Reyes outstruck Jones 50 strikes to 20 or something. The stats read 27 significant strikes for Reyes and 21 for Jones. Not a single strike except 1 uppercut and some body jabs landed clean for Reyes + Jones control center of octagon and aggression forcing Reyes to fight on the backfoot against the cage most of the round

33-22 in strikes for Reyes. Jones 0-2 on takedowns.

It wasn't even a close round LOL

cause that's how fights are scored. every strike is equal.

and being within 11 total strikes landed is actually close given that there were over 100 thrown.

Had round 2 for Jones when watching live, rewatching it now, you have to give it to Reyes. Even tho he was on the backfoot he was staying active with low kicks and counter lefts

For all the people screaming robbery, go watch the round again.. Jon Jones won round 2, Reyes took the first 2 mins and Jones took the rest of the round and ended strong as well. People just read stats and bs numbers to say Reyes won. Watch it again, Jones did enough to edge it out if you watch it without bias. Octagon control, defense, leg kicks, and clean left hook near end to finish round strong. Jones 2, 4, and 5. Not a robbery by any stretch of the imagination. Even if the round was closer, you would have to give it to the defending champ

Reyes won the striking by landing not only more, but the better shots. So thanks for telling us that the things Jones "won" in that round were "plan B and C" in terms of scoring and shouldn't be considered. So yes, it was a robbery.

And under no circumstance should the champ get a round if it's close because they're the champ, it's called a 10-10 round if the judge can't determine a winner.

Lol only a retard would say jones won round 2.

Jones did zero damage the whole fight. Literally zero.

Zero damage bruh

Jones is definitely fighting to 'not lose' rather then 'fighting to win'.

He's got some real issues running like that and turning his head away. Also shuts his eyes and turns his head away when exchanging. He's still great to watch but these are big problems that come with lots of messy fights.

You say Reyes had a clear striking advantage and others say he didn't. If he didn't, then the other two scoring criteria come into account. Also interested to know how many strikes Reyes missed... The first couple of flurries hit nothing but Jones' arms, shoulders, and thin air. Also, the 10-10 comment you made is ridiculous, judges never score title fights that way. Every one around here knows that judges tend to give close rounds to defending champ. The discussion is not what should happen, its was has always happened in the past, and Reyes is not stupid, he would know this as well. People tend to forget things quick when the bias kicks in

i saw the opposite, jon looked good early, dodged the frantic flurry, and Dom finished the round strong with that uppercut and kick.

Jon did a lot of work to the legs, great head movement, blocks, checks, and kept active.

Very even if you consider what lands throughout (it's a lot of body shots and low kicks from both guys).

Reyes misses a ton of punches

Watch the fight, dude. Reyes landed the cleaner and harder shots and he is the only one that had the other fighter in a bad situation. There was no grappling and octagon control and aggression are irrelevant due to the striking advantage.

And the 10-10 comment is only ridiculous because the judges won't use it when they should. Giving the round to the champ just because is the dumbest possible arguement when scoring a fight that you could use.

 

[clackers]

Reyes did this the whole fight taking time off to get his breath back 2 nd round onwards

Jones edged out the second round and it did look like alot of Reyes punches also missed Jones

You have to fight 5 minutes of every round to win

 

[nately]

It was a close round, but Jones had the edge in octagon control.

If you look at the fight as a whole and ignore rounds, then Jones is the clear winner.
