30-26? Put Down The Crack

Karo won rounds 1 and 2. Diego won round three.

This isn't PRIDE judging or old UFC judging where you have cumlative totals. Karo won that fight.

EVEN IF HE BARELY LOST....30-26 on one card? Give me a fucking break. UFC judging is INSANE.

I almost shit my pants when I heard that score.

I wanted Karo to win sooo bad, I HATE Diego, but I do think he eaked out a win. However, there is always that one judge that scores split decisions with huge gaps when the fights were really close. The Vegas Athletic or California Athletic commision needs to hire some new judges that have no previous experience with boxing and know MMA, until that happens we're going to continue to see these insane decisions.

Look, I'll take the decision even if I disagree with it. Because Karo dropped Diego in the first round and pounded his ass after that first exchange on the ground. BUT 30-26?!?!?!?!?

I mean, you CAN'T trust ANY decision close or not, if that can live in the world of possible scores. That score is like theoretical phsyics and shit, I didn't even know it really existed.

That was an amazing fight though

Once again it is not UFC judging. THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SAY WHATSOEVER ON WHO JUDGES.

You're right, 30-26 is ridiculous. It could have easily been 29-28 for either fighter, though Diego clearly won the overall fight (but this isn't Pride judging).

30-26 is definetely a bit much, but I think Diego did win round one, he did more damage than Karo. Karo got the judo throws but they didn't affect Diego at all, whereas Diego landed a pretty good right uppercut that seemed to affect Karo at times in the first round. Not to mention he did rough up Karo pretty good which also played into the judge's score cards I'm sure.

I would post 2 gifs I made of that Karo's judo throw but I'm not trying to get dubbed again or maybe even banned this time.

Diego won 1 and 2 10-9 and round 3 10-8. What's so hard to understand about that? I'm not saying I agree because I need to watch the fight again, but it seems reasonable to me to score it like that.
