Carmont and Costa must be pissed they lost FOTN to Jones/Gus
I started watching Gus when everybody else did. Shortly after he lost his fight to Davis.Agree completely. Super tough fight to score, 3-2 for either one was completely justifiable.
I'm Swedish but I didn't really have a strong attachment to Gustafsson until tonight (never really watched any of his fights to be honest)... but after the first 2 rounds, DAMN. Did NOT know he was that good, really amazing performance, Jones showed a lot of heart/composure I think.
Anyway, definitely want to see a rematch but not right away.
NO, the "strikes landed" count is for the entire fight; by Round 4 the total was somewhere around 88-18... and they didn't show it again in Round 5 because they knew it would make the decision look extra bad.
Yeah, I thought of it as a 10-10 but I know MMA fans and judges are phobic of it.
Mostly we found out that Jones just isn't as dominant as the UFC pretended. He was just a really big guy who could throw around smaller-framed dudes.
I'm interested to see these figures. I noticed in-fight that Gus was way ahead.
yep, especially when the first 4 minutes were razor close. even without the near finish the round would have been hard to call.
I don't think the 4th round was 10-9 for Gus. I couldn't score that round, I kept flipping from 10-9 Jones to 10-10. I truly thought Gus won the fight, but that was ridiculously close and I can't be angry with 48-47 Jones. I can be fucking livid with 49-46 though.
I really do wish judges would start allocating 10-10's, as often rounds are too difficult to score for one man.
Talking to Glover now. Now see, him I can't see beating Jones.
There's no way to score round 4 as a 10-10 round. If the round is close, and a fighter clearly wins the last minute by being aggressive and doing a lot of damage, he wins the round. 10-10 rounds are for rounds that are even..
He could tear Jones's arm off and beat him to death with it, and the judges would still score it for Jones.
The first 4 minutes were not close, imo.
