Rewatch Rewatched Lawler VS Condit

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

There is no way Robbie Lawler won this fight Condit should have won 48-47 an all time great fight and it’s my favourite fight of all time but Lawlers title run should have ended that night


Round 1 goes to Condit a lot of output lands way more then Lawler

10-9 Condit

Round 2 goes to Robbie Lawler he clips Condit on the feet and starts to wrestle him

10-9 Lawler


Round 3 goes to Condit same as round 1 he just lands way more significant strikes

10-9 Condit

Round 4 same as before Condit took this round as well

10-9 Condit

Round 5 goes to Lawler, 5th round Robbie Lawler as they say he clobbers Carlos towards the end

10-9 Lawler

Overall

48-47 Condit, judges did not get this correct

Imo, NBK won. But, I’ve moved on.

Been awhile since I watched this. Every time I did though, I scored it for Lawler. Condit was not throwing with power, he was going for volume. Lawler timed his aggression to big moments in 3 of the rounds and made sure his strikes stood out.

It was 48-47 Lawler

I thought Condit won but it was such a close fight.

 

[Rationality]

I thought Condit won, I'll enjoy watching it again though. Thanks for the link.

 

[RockyLockridge]

great fight, two of my all time favourite wws, one of my favourite title fights, certainly a top 5 all time ww title fight

I thought Condit clearly won 3 rounds. I wasn't necessarily a huge Condit fan (I liked him well enough), but I felt terrible for him that night because I instantly knew: (1) he'd likely never get another title shot; (2) his legacy would have been completely different if he became the champion; and (3) he lost out on a TON of money.

People like to cry about robberies, but they're usually relatively inconsequential in the big picture. But this robbery was incredibly consequential for Condit's career (and life).

Count me among those who thought Condit did enough to take the win, but that fight was exceptionally close.

And @RockyLockridge nailed it perfectly... even though Condit walked away with the "L", no one really lost that night. It really did seem like everyone won. Lawler took the win, the fans were blessed, and if anyone ever doubted Condit's will to win or his heart, all they need to do is watch that fight. Easily among the best WW title scraps of all time in any organization, not just the UFC.

Honestly, I don't see how anyone could possibly hate on that fight for any reason at all.

Condit was the uncrowned King of welterweight.

Most definitely a bad decision and unfortunately Condit would never get back to this level. Wars like this take a toll and he didn't get championship level money over a bad decision.

Really was unfortunate.

I wish condit had a rematch with Woodley

I thought Condit won , but no
Robbery

 

[bambammccoy]

I am a huge Condit fan but I've given it everything I got to try to score it for Lawler and I can't.

Take my score with a grain of salt but I agree. Condit 48-47

 

[achoo42]

Condit has the greatest WW chin of all time. Surviving inhuman shots in the 5th without being dropped even once, and never knocked out cold in his entire career of 51 pro fights.

 

[Senbonzakura]

I also thought that Condit beat Kampmann. It was one of those displays of GnP off your back that negated most of the takedowns Martin put up that night. If the fight was scored the way the UFC Mexico card was last week. Condit would have take a UD lol

I mean he was slicing up Kampmann off his back and put up a like crazy 165 to 9 output on the feet in rnd 3 despite losing the TD battle. Kampmann put him on his back like 6 times in the latter half of that fight but was more stalling than advancing and attacking. Anyways I digress....

Condit had a good career just didnt have stopping power

 

[GODZILLA213]

Sort of related, but prime NBK is a nightmare match up for Edwards.

Yes, nobody lost that fight...except the guy who lost that fight and would never become UFC champion because of it, nor get the subsequent championship defense pay day.

Yep, Condit lost nothing at all from that decision.

 

[Striker Fox]

Condit clearly won, but likely would've lost to Woodley in his first title defense anyways.

Just realized we never got to see Condit fight Wonderboy

 

[El Panteron]

I've watched it fairly recently, I'm a new fan (McGregor v. Nurmagomedov was my first live card) and wasn't attached to either, I thought it was a clear 48-47 for Condit, even if I knew Lawler would win from the start for obvious reasons.

He's a nightmare for anyone. Let's be honest.
