Whats up with Pantoja asking people to stay?

 

[NoSmilez]

DC is like two Pantojas

 

[italiamusica]

"Hey guys stay in the arena please."

Ouch.

Yeah that was kind of sad

 

[IneedSometop]

honestly i can see erceg 2, 3 and 4 but definitely think Pantoja got it 3-2

Yeah I thought 4 and 2 were easy rounds to score for Erceg 3 was the swing round imo

 

[2009lurker]

49-46 Pantoja is wild. 48-47 Pantoja is the correct score.

 

[Andy 93]

It was moronic. He was winning the vast majority of the stand-up.

 

[Ares Black]

Respect to both fighters. That was a good title fight.

Yeah Erceg proved he belonged in there and Pantoja showed a champions heart.

 

[Neck&Neck]

That TD lost him a belt

(maybe)

(probably)

(I'm drunk)

(time for dabs)

You dab right

 

[Poirierfan]

Dana couldn't even be bothered to be at the event lol. He's probably watching Canelo doing lines of coke somewhere

100%

 

[PurpleStorm]

And still. 125: Alexandre Pantoja (27-5) defeats Steve Erceg (12-1) by UD to retain the flyweight belt.

 

[milliniar]

Good picks over all. Better overall card than expected.

 

[AmonTobin]

That was a fantastic fight. I'm totally down with a rematch.

 

[Dr Fong]

Everyone rightly calling out Erceg's terrible fight IQ.

But let's not ignore his corner's terrible IQ by telling him he was 3-0 down when he wasn't. Might have been the reason for those panicked TDs in the 5th.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Nah he's at the Madonna concert.

The only one going to a Madonna concert in 2024 are moms and grandma's that are having midlife crisis like her.

 

[Gigaton Punch]

Every Pantonja title fight looks the damn same man
Looks wack striking and wins purely off take downs and control

 

[Ozze]

Even this PBP lost all steam after the Aldo fight.

Classic Pantoja win though, straight up colliding foward, looking dead from round 2 and holding on in there.

Lol. "I think I need to move my head a bit more, those guys are hitting me a lot!"

Time to go now. Over and out.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Thanks for the merge. Didn't care to talk about Pantoja. But okay.

 

[sdpdude9]

Did people really think this was a bad fight? It wasn’t an all timer or anything but it was solid and competitive.

 

[maximus__]

LOL if only Erceg didin't engage in the wrestling exchange in the fifth he would be champion right now haha wow.

No chance. One judge scored it 49-47 lol. That round would have gone to Pantoja if he got dropped.

 

[ElLunico]

probably gave the fight away

He was winning the striking so if it stayed standing he would have won on 2 judges score cards..
