    Wow that's crazy. Man I've never seen that score total before.


    I'll give PBC credit. It seems like the judging is decent.

    Nah, this wasn't completely unforeseen. Tomoki has shown flaws along the way and had some iffy performances where he barely got past mediocre opponents.

    Go back in the RBR thread around the beginning of the fight and you'll find both CST80 and myself commenting on how McDonnell was a very live underdog (though champion) and that 5/2 odds seemed way off.

    I was wondering why they were chanting "Mexico" I thought that was for Omar.

    He should have conserved more energy in the 1st half.

    Too much wasted flashy movement.

    Gradovich is the Mexican Russian; Tomoki is the Mexican Jap.

    Well after watching him for the first time live, he seemed like to go way too much toe-toe. I feel like when he used his boxing, he could've outbox him.

    Aaah okay, but too much toe-toe imo in the second part of the fight. He should move smarter.
