was forrest griffin REALLY robbed against tito ortiz?

i hear everyone sayin forrest was robbed and he should've won the fight, but i don't think so. tito won 2 rounds to 1 and clearly did more damage in the fight. it wasn't like forrest completely dominated tito on the feet either, i saw tito land some good jabs that rocked forrest a couple times. i think tito wins the rematch even more decisively

If I remember round 2 and 3 were pretty close rounds, but a lot of people felt that they should have gone to Forrest. I think I felt that way when watching it, but fight was Tito whipped his ass pretty bad in rnd 1, so I do think Tito won the fight

But that was a while ago and Forrest has been fighting and winning hard fights, where Tito has been beating up on old guys, Im going with Forrest in the rematch

from what I remember:

rd1 - 10/8 for Tito
rd2 - 10/9 for Forrest
rd3 - 10/9 for Forrest

= should have been a DRAW

I like Forrest a lot and think it was a real close fight but I think it should have been a draw.

I think Tito won the first fight, but Forrest has improved so much since then. I think Forrest will win by submission.

No, Forrest wasn't robbed. It was a close match but it should have gone to Tito. I am actually very intrigued by a rematch. I think both guys have the tools to win but I wouldn't be suprised if Tito won again.

i think forrest's improvement is overrated, he beat 2 guys at their absolute worst, and i still think rampage should've won their fight. forrest's striking is still slow and sloppy, his chin is weak and he has no power in his hands. and he's always sucked off his back
