I know theres been alot of threads about this but if any of you guys have followed some of my other posts i like to score fights and post round notes as to why i gave to each fighter. So heres my scoring and round breakdowns for Darren Till vs Stephan Thompson
1 2 3 4 5 T
Thompson 10 9 10 10 9 48
TIll 9 10 10 9 10 48
Firstly let me say there was not much to judge for each round but here is my take away.
Round 1- i gave tp Wonderboy becuase he landed a few clean punches in a round of misses and gesturing there was a clean 1,2 he landed as well as a solid body punch..till landed a few leg kicks but nothing else.
Round 2- i gave this round to Till as he was clearily more effective with his ranged legs attacks and landed a big shot at the opening of the round (first exchange)
Round 3 - even round, these guys matched each other in pace, and clean big strikes this round i could not pick a decisive victor for this round becuase not else happened Till forward pressure was negated by hes misses and WBs counter combos..till landed some good kicks and lefts as well...hardest round of the night.
Round 4. Clear round for thompson, evaded alot of tills attacks landed with fast combos..not anything huge but sharp clean strikes.
Round 5. This was Tills round great use of the jab and dropped WB for a flash knockdown. I dont count the falling takedown as neither one had any control and was more of a tackle then takedown wonderboy recovered well but was too passive to offset being knockdown.
Overall a super close fight with small burst of actions and not the barn burner/ toe to toe scrap most people wanted, i for one appreciate the level of skill displayed and understand that fight came down to centimeters at some points when it came to dodging strikes or potentially landing the ko blow...so koodos to both guys for a master class in range/defense and counter offense. The fight was too close to call IMO and i dont think a rematch now would look any different its just these guys styles melt together so well it almost looks like two mirror images fighting.
I dont agree with Tills victory but the fight was super close.
Thanks for reading guys let me know if im close on this one or how you saw it.
