Whitaker won Round 1 (10-8)

[ChucksGlassJaw]

If you guys want to get crazy with these 10-8 rounds, you can make the argument Whitaker took the first round 10-8. Romero did absolutely nothing but get walked down, eat jabs and kicks and threw maybe 5 strikes the whole round.

Lol. Reaching. Didn't hurt him once.

So did Romero take the 5th 10-7?

But Romero did absolutely nothing at all in that round. He was completely dominated.

Dominated by cheesy should be illegal front side kicks

At best it would have been a draw and Whittaker would have retained even if Yoel had knocked him into next Friday.

Joe is simply obsessed with the thought of licking Yoel's abs free of sweat so I wouldn't put much stock in the 'he should have had two 10-8 rounds' bias.

Romero had it coming. He's as dirty as they come and it's technically legal.
