Pacquiao would crush Mayweather, but Mayweather will duck the fight and cherry-pick a different opponent instead.

[DKnightJCL]

i remember Jeremy, he was pretty high on bisping

[Pharellman456]

Hell yeah black canadians gotta support each other!

[kingshahine]

it doesn't make sense to have machida winning

fightmetric 82 strikes landed shogun 41 strikes for machida.

most damage caused- shogun. machida was visabily hurt

[caniphobia]

he beat mat hamill...

[doliveij]

NO!!!!

SHOGUN DID --

Wait .. lol

:)

Ok, I won't argue it anymore. I just feel pretty strongly that framing this as a robbery is misleading.

But anyway, you can get the last word in if you want. I'll stop debating, since we obviously won't convince each other about this.

I do respect your opinion and appreciate your videos.

[elmatador404]

For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone unbiased would say that it wasn't even close. The reason the crowd booed at the end was because what stuck in their minds were the last two rounds. And those watching on TV had the same issue, plus Rogan's bizarre comments.

Not close? Rounds 1 and 2 weren't even close? Those rounds were the definition of close rounds. Watch round 2 without sound and tell me Rua dominated. It's absurd.

Fightmetrics scored Hammill-Bisping for Bisping.

[elmatador404]

Ok, but get the facts straight! Gross made it pretty clear that he had changed his mind:

In fact, here are two direct quotes from his twitter page:

"No real issue here with the judges' scoring."

"Yet another example of how much influence commentary holds over the way you see a fight. Watch it again people. And mute Rogan and Goldberg."

Does that sound to you like he thought Shogun won?

What most other reputable sources are saying is the wrong guy won AND it was close and no robbery.

[doliveij]

Gross said he thought it wasn't a robbery. But didn't say he thought Shogun lost.

And if everyone say the wrong guy won, it's a robbery. it wasn't close. You have shown me one guy who said it wasn't a robbery. I said show me one guy who said Shogun didn't win.

I will not be responding to any more Elmatador404 Machida vs. Shogun posts.

Just can't do it.

[elmatador404]

As for finding just one, I already gave the opinion of Josh Gross earlier. He is a respected MMA author who you listed as being on your side but he rewatched the fight and supports the decision.

[elmatador404]

You're evading the point. My point isn't on whether or not Shogun won (though I do think that by UFC scoring the decision was correct, proving again that Pride scoring was better). The point is about whether not it was a robbery.

There is a huge difference between a wrongful decision in a close fight and a robbery. It's not grasping at straws to point out that YOU are clearly in the minority, when it comes to fighters or credible sites/publications calling this a "robbery."

Pure bias.
