    I like this way of doing it. It needs to become a thing

    Apparently, scores are ranging from a narrow Ioka win to a slightly less-narrow Franco win, with draws being the majority opinion of both public and judges. There are a few weirdos out there who think Franco dominated, but I don't even need to watch the fight to know that is an impossibility.

    Very very good fight!
    I was only able to catch it from round 5 onwards but was great and will see the first half later today.

    I had Iola winning most of the rounds in the r second half but again, need to see the first 4-5 rounds.

    Sucks no one managed to watch since it was really early. I guess Estrada is more likely to face Franco now as Ioka is mandated to fight Nakatani and if he refuses he will be stripped of the title.

    Franco was busier but he missed and was being made to miss by that Sakai slickness an awful lot. So much was being blocked or slipped. Ioka fought in spurts but he landed the cleaner better work everytime he let his hands go

    It's amazing how many websites in Europe and America had the wrong times for this card. Too bad.

    My thoughts exactly. Haven’t seen the punch count but although I feel Franco threw more, his punches just didn’t convince me and missed quite a bit.

    Depends what you like - quantity or quality. Not too much of what Franco was throwing looked to be landing clean to me but he definitely threw more

    Well, I've tried to post the official scorecards three times but it's clear that I have no freakin' idea what I'm doing. :ibutt

    Only mods can post pics

    I tried to post it for you but it wasn't working either

    I had to resize it to get it to work

    Round 12 Ioka 10-9 Very close

    114-114

    Excellent tit for tat technical battle with no clinches and many great exchanges. People claiming this was a robbery are nuts.

    Too bad we slept too long and couldn't watch it live.
