The fight was very close. I think Forrest deserves the win, he at least did a little more than stand there and go for a KO the entire fight. It was like watching Pulver get tunnel vision with Faber, only looking for that 1 shot. You can't always get it, have a plan B next time. Plus, I think if everybody wants to call bullshit about the decision, Rampage was the LHW champion of the WORLD, he should have done more to convince the judges. If you are the champ, you should defend that belt, put on a good performance. The contender is just that, not as highly ranked, and trying to get the belt. Rampage had a lot more to lose, if you're the champ and you go out and fiddle fuck around for 5 rounds, then it is what it is. Nobody should leave a fight with Forrest to the judges, he works to much and stays busy. I do not think the judges are always accurate in the scoring, but watching a guy get a take down, dominate it, sub attempt, push the pace, throw as many punches or more, and physically injure his opponent has to make an impression to the judges. sometimes the appearance of winning the fight is all it takes.
