O'malley Yan may have been a robbery...

If you get cracked in the head 18 more times in only a 3 round fight, it's kinda hard to mislead that one.

You are right. O'malley definitely lost round 1,2 considering he was struck more in both rounds and including in the head. Yan won 1,2 via out landing O'malley before they even take the grappling into account.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Not really. Striking was pretty even. It was way more competitive than I expected

Anyone saying the first and 3rd round couldn’t go either way is a liar. Don’t care about the stats.

Stats favour Yan. He landed 28 strikes to O'malleys 23. Throw 2 takedowns and a slam in and there is no argument within the judging criteria that gives O'malley round 1.

Where are you getting those stats from? Sean landed like 3 times as many head strikes. That's why he won the fight.

 

[BigGing]

This “panic wrestling” narrative is fucking ridiculous.
Yan beat up O’Malley everywhere. I know now why I’ve slowly moving away from the Ultimate Fucking Clownshow now.

As soon as someone says "panic wrestling " you know to just move right past them

People hate on Sean because of theatrics, but the fact is Sean is a very hard-working and intelligent fighter. He could have won all 3 rounds by playing the points game, but he tried to knock Yan out and that got him in some trouble. His toughness can no longer be questioned.

what theatrics though
coloring his hair?
dude is arrogant, but i wouldn't consider it theatric

People are counting the takedowns as an important factor in this fight because the stats showed that Sean landed more significant strikes than Yan so the TDs are their equaliser.

In the second Sterling fight the stats show that Sterling both outstruck AND outgrappled Yan so in that fight they said the grappling was inconsequential and doesn't count, and that outlanded is not the same thing as outstruck.

Now the Yanablers are saying the inconsequential takedowns count and Yan outlanding Sean overall despite being outlanded in significant strikes all count for Yan.

It's a complete flip of their scoring criteria for the Sterling rematch.

Yanablers are just cherry picking the stats

When Yan is outgrappled and outlanded that doesn't matter. Takedowns don't count and outstruck > outlanded. Yan wins.

When Yan is outstruck again but lands some takedowns and lands more insignificant strikes, all of a sudden takedowns are king and outlanded > outstruck. Yan always wins no matter what.

Nothing but enabling towards Yan from the Yanablers.

Comically embarrassing at this point.

The stats say Yan landed 28 strikes to Omalley's 23. They somehow deemed every single strike of O'malleys as a sig strike even the ones against the cage before he got big brothered and taken down.
Yan landed the bigger strikes and also slammed him from shoulder height. That's the most significant moment in a close first round. Under the scoring criteria Yan has to win that round. No damage, close striking and a high impact takedown leading to control and ground and pound. Yan also landed the bigger shots on the feet and had O'malley backing up. O'malley did not win a single scoring criteria.
Damage, Impact, effective striking, effective grappling, control and aggression all go to Yan. It's an indefensible decision if you score by the criteria judges are meant to follow.

O'malley does not win a single scoring criteria at all in the first round.

It's been pretty obvious for a while now he's a very talented fighter despite being a douche

That's the entire fight and not how a fight is scored. The majority of O'malleys offence came in the second and third round.
Did O'malley land multiple headshots in the first round? He landed less than 7 strikes to the head that round. 1 good straight shot around Yan's guard, some jabs and the rest were as he was about to get lifted and taken down against the cage. Remember the 4 shots he got warned for to the back of the head ? The rest were pawing jabs to Yan's guard.
Do you believe O'malley won the 2nd round? He landed more more shots in that round than the first to the head. he had early success before Yan absolutely blasts him with a counter and puts him down.
The third round makes up the majority of his offence and shots to the head once he adjusted to the guard and used the knees and shots around the outside.

Yan wins the first under every criteria and takes the fight 29-28. You can't legitimately give O'malley the first if you go by scoring criteria.

I thought the decision was ridiculous (Yan got 6 fucking takedowns,finished strong and landed many hard hits) but I give big ups to Omalley for doin what he did out there.

 

[maximus__]

The most important stats you should be looking at is where they were landing their strikes. Sean landed a lot more head strikes than Yan which typically have the most weight in scoring.

He didn't land those strikes in round 1 though. Yan out landed him in head strikes by a good margin in the first. O'malley lands 1 cross, 4 back of the head shots and a jab or two. the rest of his shots in round 1 were low kicks and body shots. yan actually outlanded him in head shots here aswell.

He has a very flamboyant look,but his personality is laid back and chill.

Just looking over your post briefly I notice that you admit that you don't actually know what the scoring criteria is. So maybe before you keep on responding you should look that up. This kind of jut proves my point that you're basing you're opinion on feelings and bias rather than the actual facts.

At which point can you just man up and take an L?

Jesus fucking Christ, have some pride.

No, in the first Sean landed 3x more sig head strikes than Yan did. Sean won a close 1st and a clear 3rd. It was a close fight but Sean was the better fighter. Sean was clearly landing the harder shots all fight. Why do you think Yan didn't start pressuring and taking over late like he usually does? It's because he was getting stunned by Sean's jab.

And you realize this shows that Sean won right... He had the more impactful striking which is what is weighed most heavily....

That's extremely interesting, but after viewing it several times over, I'm unable to find the part where it states that the figher who lands less strikes, is hit with the hardest strikes, is walked down, slammed on his head, and controlled on the ground for two rounds, manages to win either round?

Evidently you've found it, I guess I'm just looking for a moment in round 1 more significant than this.

 

[dominion]

most jabs don't 'crack' like that
o'malley posting his hand in your face and kind of pawing it around gets him easy uncontested points

Those aren't significant strikes. O'Malley landed 18 more significant

Not in round 1 which is the deciding round if you give O'malley the third.
You could argue it's even striking wise(it wasn't) but then you can't ignore a slam, ground and pound and control time.

Yes in round 1 Sean landed the more impactful strikes throughout the round, I'm honestly not sure how you can argue otherwise. Sean was landing his straight right and stiff jab throughout the round while Yan was unable to land anything significant. You're right, it wasn't even striking wise, Sean had the clear advantage. The "slam" and "ground and pound" was not not as significant as Sean's work on the feet that round.
