Only 5 Out Of 28 Media Scores Were For Whittaker

[Croton]

15 scored it for Romero and 8 scored it a draw.

 

[Espresso]

Not surprised

Anyone scoring the fight for Whit was watching like this:

<{CMPALM}>

 

[King in the North]

That’s because it was a draw at best for him.

 

[Clocop]

Yeah 99% of the mma media is a complete joke.
Look at the p4p rankings for fucks sake

If you have read much from the mma media you’d realize it’s filled with idiots that don’t know anything about mma.

 

[filthynumber1]

should have been a draw

10-8 5th for Yoel
47-47

 

[Croton]

Sadly they get it right more often than the official judges these days.

 

[KootenayKid]

Sorry, but media scores mean jack shit to me.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

@BenjaminDuffy … Good call bud. Thoughts on why you and Sherdog (don't give a shit about the others) saw it this way...

 

[Revolver]

Lmao. Is this supposed to matter? Those cans are barely qualified to give their own opinion on this pseudo sport anyways let alone judge.

15 scored it for Romero and 8 scored it a draw.

Whittaker held a striking clinic, and was clowning Romero until the hand break.

As opposed to the MMA savantes that the commission employ to judge the fights?

Sherdog scores are better and more consistent than the actual judges scores from what I've seen.

Can't comment on the other media outlets but i scored it 48-45 for Romero lol

Edit: mma-fighting, bloody elbow, ESPN, wrestling observer all gave it to Romero. These are some of the more reputable sites at least as far as news goes.

 

[DocK]

Draw is the correct score.

 

[Croton]

Whittaker held a striking clinic, and was clowning Romero until the hand break.

The better fighter doesn't always win.

Anyone scoring Romero with more than 47 is a retard. He clearly lost 3 rounds 10-9. I can understand the draw, if you give him 10-8 for the 5th round, but how anyone can score it as a win for Romero is beyond me. Even if they scored the other round he won 10-8 (shouldn't) too, the score would be 46-47.

All those guys who scored 48 for Romero should be sent to the hospital to get checked for brain damage.

 

[Steve-French]

I was pretty hammered by the time the main event came on plus I had people over and was talking a bit, so the fight was a little cloudy to remember. I recall thinking it could go either way. I'm glad Whittaker got the nod though as Yoel didn't make weight for two title fights in a row.

 

[Klippy]

Yeah it was a shit decision.. Whittaker was dropped like 3-4 times badly.

What I've been saying from the beginning.

Anyone who scored 3 rnds for Romero lacks basic understanding of how a fight is scored.

Oh Whittaker clearly won round 4?

Doesn't matter anyway. Rd 3 and 5 were both 10-8.

 

[Dozer .]

I had it 48-46 for Romero. The rocking was there.
