did anyone else feel that he looked broken? I went out with a few friends to watch the card ( no one wanted to buy it surprisingly) lol

but we thought Shad was almost in tears. Also when his corner told him to take Hendo down, we clearly saw him say " I can't "
im happy Rashad got the win but I was definitely a little surprised and it looked like Evans was too.
 
This was a close one, I gave to Hendo, exactly for this reason
 
he looked surprised because he lost that fight ...

Lets be honest here, no matter what you look at he got destroyed in the first round, and much of the same in the second, he ate elbows in the clinch, he kept failing takedowns which in my opinion is all negative and he did absolutely nothing that would reward him the round(meaning 2nd round).

He clearly won the third, but since when is 1 clear round enough to win a decision? especially when hendos first was more clear then rashads third....

I got up and did a quick refill so I must have missed it. I will play it back later to see what I missed.
 
Yeah Shad looked very dejected in between rounds. His takedowns have not looked good since the Davis fight.

He got dropped by a stiff jab and ate a few but he did not get "destroyed". He definitely won the third. So the second round is where it gets tricky. It was close but I gave it to Rashad. I was actually convinced at the end that he clearly won this fight 2 rounds to 1. The split surprised me. It was a close fight and I might have to watch it again.
 
Maybe Rogan's commentating made a difference. I thought Rashad had it, but I watched in a bar and couldn't hear him.

I thought round 2 was close but Rashad won it by doing a bit more than Hendo. Third round obviously to Rashad.
 
He did look a little discouraged, but, 29-28 Rashad.
 
I actually think this fight was a toss up. I wouldn't want to score it. Hendo clearly won the first round and Evans clearly won the third. It was all up to what you saw in the second and it was really tough. Sure Dan caught him with 2 nice elbows in the clinch, but then again Rashad was landing punches which caused Dan to clinch in the first place. I would have been happy with any call except for a UD win for anyone.
 
It was just the cutman pulling his eyebrow
 
I think he mostly looks like a talented guy with no direction or coaching.

Just seems to me his tools are not being sharpened nor combined like they use to be.

Talented guy, but I think he really does need coaches in his corner and camp that can pull out his full potential.

He didn't get destroyed? If that first round wasn't all one sided then hendo coulda won the third since by your logic it was a close third round then...

People say they give rashad the 2nd but don't say why... WHY DID HE WIN IT? He did nothing the entire round but fail takedowns, his strikes were not landing either. He was getting out clinched hard as fuck and ate multiple elbows which were the most significant strikes of that round.... So for you to say that rashad won the 2nd round that was "close" is fucking retarded because clearly you are just dick riding.
 
Need to rename thread to "Rashad hate thread come on in"

Seriously, he looked good last night, a lot better than against lil nog. I'll agree that he may have some mental issues, and might need a sports psychologist but come on. His combinations were on point and he dictated were the fight was going the whole fight. His only mistake was getting caught by that straight left.
 
Jesus, he wasn't broken, he was gassed.

So when he went out and dominated the 3rd were you thinking the blackzillian phoenix has risen?
