Judge who gave Merab Rd 2

[sdpdude9]

I'm pretty sure Merab put him on the ground briefly from one of his punches. I'd have to rewatch could have been a slip.

It was a slip I believe.

Idk what you were watching, first 2 rds were very close. Some gave both to Merab.

They weren't close. For every idiot who gave a 49-46 merab card there's three who had Umar winning 48-47 but you wouldn't pretend 3/4/5 were close. Let alone a 5-45 joke.

Merab lost every single round if effective striking and grappling are actual judging criteria.

Zero control established
Zero subs attempted
Zero damage done lol
Wins by way of failed takedowns and showboating after

It's refreshing to see some other Sherdoggers actually have eyes.

Well said sir.

Idk what you were watching, first 2 rds were very close. Some gave both to Merab. Wait maybe it's a commentary thing? Were they wanking over Umar? Have Korean commentary so idk what they were saying.

I mean the stats showed even strikes for both the first 2 rds and Merab was the one pushing the action, neither hurt the other so yeah.View attachment 1080055

Didn't look at stats, but I felt like you could even argue Umar 1, 2, 3. I didn't but combined with the damage Merab took, Umar had an argument. I personally scored 2-2 after the 4th.

Maybe I need to rewatch and could've given Merab more because of shock that Merab wasn't getting destroyed. Particularly the 3rd round I thought was close and where the fight started to change tides with Merab's cardio.
