Stickland didn't win the fight because...

he didn't listen to his coach,
who clearly explained what to do.

Fuckin' Teep Kick.

<WellThere>
 
strickland fights very economic no tempo changes, not going for the finish. thats risky with these judges so dont complain afterwards.
 
It is absolutely irrelevant who won the decision to that fight. Both guys are absolute mid-tier, boring fighters in a shallow division and still won't ever come close to the title.

Yeah he won the fight but I knew the judges would score the power shots higher for Jared. Sean needs to be more strategic when he decides to be more offensive and throw power shots. He needs to pick more minutes in the rounds throwing power shots and throwing more than just a jab. He can jab the majority of the round but he will still need to secure mins in the round with agression and power shots. That's how you secure a round, even in boxing that's how they do it. The last min of the round Strickland should be throwing with more power and being more aggressive. You always want to finish the rounds strong.

If you are trying to win on points, you have to play the point system game. That means you need to be winning multiple minutes of each round overall to secure the round. Any big successful strikes landed by Canonier, Sean needed to get it back right away with his own power strikes. Can't jab vs power shots, judges will judge the power shots higher especially with the main judging criteria now is damage. With some minor tweaks Strickland wins that easily.
 
That was not a robbery, just a very close fight. No one clearly dominated. Strickland had volume, Cannonier had power and damage.

This fight didn't improve either guy's stock. Pretty tentative fight, nobody made a statement. I think the result is both guy's pretty much staying put in the rankings.
 
Strickland treats his fights like sparring sessions, he never really goes for or leaves it all out there, he just jabs and spars and hopes for a point win, I bet on him but Jared was the one going for the win not him.
 
No robbery. 4-1 for Cannonier is fair, Strickland just doesn't do much of anything, same basic jab on loop, its all very frustrating to watch. Judges got it right 4-1 for Cannonier.

I mean that's fair, but specifically for this fight, let's not pretend that half of Cannonier's Sig Strikes weren't leg kicks
 
There’s that word again
Really close fight , could have gone either way , he certainly talks like he’s the maniac tough guy in town for a guy that fights Fairy conservatively
 
I think Sean landed the hardest strikes of the two as well. There were 2 strikes that he landed that seemed to hurt Jared. Wish we could see the gif of it again bc I'm not about to rewatch that fight again to find it.

Honestly...

Tell me how you give Jared the fight?

Is it because he threw harder and missed and the aesthetic of the hard attempts impressed you?

So Jared won because he threw harder and missed.

Because the UFC counted punching the arms as body shots. So it seemed close on the stats (well even then not really lol...head shots always been scored higher than body shots).
 
Judges probably fell asleep and just coined tossed it.

Is he a safe fighter? Sure. Does he lack power output? Sure. Does he bore a lot of people? Sure.

Shouldn't equate to losing a fight you win.

Jared was punching arms and air all fight. Sean lit him up with that jab, was beautifully evasive, and had Jared visibly frustrated, actually asking Sean to stop moving.

Sean landed more. Landed cleaner. Controlled the pace. Frustrated Jared. I mean come the hell on.

Sean won the damn fight.

Judges saw blood on Sean face, so..........
