Wandy got robbed, he won rounds 2 and 3 easily. Best of luck to him at 185.

Great fight, I thought. Wand looked tough, and did a lot better than some people predicted. That's about as close a decision as you can win. I could have seen it go either way. I knew going into this that I'd be happy for one guy and sad for the other.

Would root for Wand Vs. Mother Theresa. She's dead? Hmmm...He must have gotten to her.

i thought it was a great fight. Rich did control most of the fight so the decision was justified. Wandy fought real well he controlled his intensity.
WAR RICH AND WANDY

I agree. I really thought that was Wanderlei's fight.
But, if Franklin did win, I think that Wanderlei had round 2 for sure. No doubt. So a unanimous was a little unfair.
No worries though. Wanderlei was happy, so I'm happy

even if he got round 2 on all the cards, it still wouldve been a unanimous decision. He just wouldnt have lost every round.
I definitely wouldve given him the 2nd round, the third was a hard one to score. I would really like to see all main events turn into 5 round fights. I feel like I need some closure on this one.

Great fight and i thought wand wasn't in the greatest shape but still to go 3 with franklin but he's older and franklin out stuck him. Should of been a split though.
