Guest Edwin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Well, that fight wasn't half as fun as their first one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 And Robbie Lawler has just been gifted the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 A judge gave lawler 4 fucking rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Yeah, I don't get that one scorecard. How? Lawler fought a strange fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I thought Hendricks won the every round except for the first and the fifth is debatable, but no way did Robbie win that fight. Robbie winning gives Rory a better chance at winning than title than it would if Hendricks had won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 A judge gave lawler 4 fucking rounds. thus setting up a third fight. Coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 I would wait for the post-fight presser before we start talking about Lawler-MacDonald II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I had it 48-47 Hendricks. Just awful judging. Almost historically bad. I'm also amazed at how Hendo-like Johny's head is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I could see 48-47 Lawler (even one of the guys doing PBP for Sherdog had that score) but 49-46? Hewwlnaw. Hendricks had some beautiful combinations ending with leg kicks in the middle rounds that should've done enough for him to retain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hendricks is 1-2 in title fights, when he should probably be 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 FWIW I had Lawler winning the first and fifth, Hendricks winning the second and third, fourth round I thought was close but would've given it to Lawler if I had to pick. Was baffled by the 49-46 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hendricks is 1-2 in title fights, when he should probably be 3-0. Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I've seen a lot of people give round 1 to Lawler forgetting that Lawler only controlled the first half of that round at best before Johny took over on striking and scored a takedown. That was how that round ended. Only close round was 4. Judging completely overvalued Lawler stuffing Johny's takedowns and ignored Johny teeing off with leg kicks.

TheVileOne Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hendricks gets an automatic rematch guaranteed. Honestly, I'm not upset about the decision. No way I thought Lawler won 4 rounds. I gave him rounds 1 and 5 definitely. Maybe his flurry at the end of round 4 was enough plus all of Hendricks' stalling. Hendricks actually had some good kickboxing int he fight, but he slowed down a lot in the last two rounds. Hendricks and Lawler bet start barring their windows and getting new security at their homes. MacDonald's not going to be happy after tonight.

epwar Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I had it 48-47 Hendricks as well. However, seeing how Robbie ended the fourth and fifth, I knew the judges were going to go his way in a close fight. But one judge going 49-46 is just ridiculous.

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 I like how Nevada (well essentially just Vegas) lost out on a ton of major boxing fights in the last 2 1/2 years due to inside politics and decide instead to have shitty judging for major MMA fights. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Is Cecil Peoples' sorry ass still judging fights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Probably lower tier cards in Cali. Nevada has an old boys (and girls) network of bad judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Anthony's offense might be the best ever. Hope he's working hard on that takedown defense. He gets past Khabib, I see him dominating the division for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Glenn Trowbridge was the man who gave Rds. 1, 2, 4, and 5 to Lawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Not even Robbie's corner thought he was winning the fight as they were pressuring him during the last 2 rounds to finish the fight if he wanted to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Glenn Trowbridge was the man who gave Rds. 1, 2, 4, and 5 to Lawler. Glenn Trowbridge....bad at judging MMA AND boxing. What a duel threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 I like how basically no one has talked about possible KO and submission of the year candidates. Eddie Gordon and Ashlee Evans-Smith both got sent to beddy bye land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 was rooting HARD for Lawler to win. gave him round 5 for sure and 1 most likely. thought 4 was the closest, but gave that to Hendricks fairly easily. no way in hell should Lawler have been a 49-46 winner. i can't even begin to imagine where the nod from round 2 came from. anyways, outside of a couple major upsets on the Fox card next weekend, i won the UFC 2014 pool between my friends. so i guess i really have nothing to complain about. thanks, Glenn Trowbridge.
