    I see exactly what you mean. I think my view was influenced by the fact that so many rounds in the third fight were so tight. Even the winner of each round shipped a lot of punishment.

    Easily FOTC for me. Plenty of action, but with far sharper skills on display. Overall, one of the best showcases of skill and action in the history of the division for me. The fact that it had two undefeated champions facing off, also adds to the "electricity" of the evening.

    Manila had great action, but was a much "uglier" affair.
