Round 1 - Romero barely even threw anything. Whittaker threw and landed more. 10 - 9 Whittaker.
Round 2 - Romero was a little more active on this one. Whittaker still landed more and broke Yoel's eye socket. 10 - 9 Whittaker.
Round 3 - Romero with the big knockdown and some heavy shots to follow up but then they start clinching and Robert starts landing some elbows and then landed the headkick aswell. Romero definitly won the round but Robert did just enough for it to be a 10 - 9 Romero and not 10 - 8. (Whittaker also broke his right hand in this round)
Round 4 - Whittaker was oustriking him the whole round but at the last 30 seconds Yoel rocks him. I definitly feel like this is the round that makes the difference. The other rounds had clear winners in my opinion, and i think this is a case of what do you think counts more? 4:30 of landing more strikes for Whittaker or 0:30 where Yoel rocked Whittaker but didn't drop him. In my opinion i'd give this round to Whittaker. All the strikes he landed just count a little more than the one big strike that Yoel landed. 10 - 9 Whittaker.
Round 5 - Romero with the knockdown but same thing as the 3rd round. They clinch and Whittaker hides his head just enough that Yoel can't put out as much damage as he wants to. Romero 10 - 9
This was a very close fight and a case of Volume vs Damage but i think Whittaker by split decision was the right call. You can definitly give the 4th round to Romero and can even argue that it should have been 10 - 8 for the 3rd and 5th. So i guess it really just depends on how you judge fights. I don't think it would have been a wrong decision either way, think it really depends on how you score fights.
It was a great fucking fight and we should appreciate these 2 savages!!
How did you score it?
