Still a draw to me.
How do you score it then? I'd say Gus easily has rd 1 and maybe 3. Jones has 5, 4, and 2 and also maybe 3. How do people think Gus won?

I give Jones shit, justifiably, but not a hater.
That was a damn close fight, and when it's that damn close I'm not a fan of crowning a new champ. Gus should have put him away, and I bet that's his aim in the rematch.
If you live my the scorecards, you'll die by the scorecards.
Exactly, you have to take the belt to win it, not some close split decision.

Tell that to Benson Henderson. Title fights are scored just like any other fights.
No..... no no no no no. You have to win the fight. That's it. This BS "You have to ___ while winning to get the belt" is ridiculous and insults the sport as a whole.
The moment the Champ enters the cage he gives up his belt until he proves he still deserves it. That's why he gives it away to Dana before the bout. The champ is the defacto Co-#1 Contender along with his opponent.
Gus won and I've watched the fight 4 times
Not really man. Its essentially been the rule in boxing for Im guessing over a century and mma (for a much shorter period of time).
I think every other LHW champ in the last decade "beat the champ"
Gus could not do that.
Forrest does not agree.....
ha.
Good call, you are correct.
But I think Forrest is the only guy in the last decade where the LHW belt exchanged hands by decision.
There is going to be an atomic level of butt hurt on Sherdog.com
I wonder what will happen to Ughugh if Gustafsson loses badly though, that scenario has an e-suicide written all over it.
