Notice I said robbery. I mean (bafflingly) Kflo said he though Johnson won the third... um NOPE
But Johnson won rounds 1 and 2.
So why am I not mad at that robbery? Because towards the end of the second Beniel figured Johnson out completely and outclassed him from there.
Once Beniel got the range and timing, Johnson couldn't hit him and Beniel hit him at will.
I have little to no doubt that this fight will go down as one of the worst robberies in recent memory. Despite Beniel legitimately taking over, he did it too late and Johnson should have won.
But of all the robberies I've seen, I'm pretty much the least mad at this one. At least the guy who stole the win this time was able to prove he was the smarter, better fighter despite the rough early going. Usually you have a fight that is sort of remotely competitive but the better fighter loses and everyone's pissed.
