Reyes clearly beat Jones last night but...

Common problem here on sherdog with fans who cannot properly score a fight.

Rd 1 - Clear decisive win for Reyes
Rd 2 - tight win for Jones that could have went to Reyes also as a light win
Rd 3 - Clear decisive win for Reyes
Rd 4 - Jones wins but not as strong as Reyes win in 1&3
Rd 5 - Jones wins but not as strong as Reyes win in 1&3

Round 2 is key because it COULD have went to Reyes and it also then would NOT have been a robbery win for Reyes, as some Jones fans would then say.

But the other key is also that because the rounds Reyes won were more dominant than the rounds Jones won it leaves the perception he did much better. And HE DID. But not in a way that matters on the judges score cards.

This is the exact same situation that happened in the GSP/Hendricks fight which also was not a robbery even though the rounds Johnny won were far more dominant even compared to the ones Reyes won. Sorry judges cards do not reflect that. Maybe they should, but they don't.
 
If Jones had a point taken away for each eye poke, would he have won?
