Thats the way you see it mate , fair enough , we all see things differently I thought there was a serious chance of the fight being halted on accumulation of shots I cant remember Ellenberger doing anything but defend in round 3 , the significance of Ellenberger (an accomplished grappler / wrestler) being mounted and having his back taken twice , outweighed what he acheived rounds 1 and 2 for me , to where i genuinely beleive it should of been looked on as a 10 - 8 round Sanchez This is sort of my point !!! , what system is in place to acknowledge such a distance in the scoring for rounds such as these , nothing :deal , its either 10 - 9 , or 10 - 8 , hell they dont even score rounds 10 - 10 , its a flaw in the scoring system that just isnt being addressed , Edgar Maynard round 1 for me should of been 10 - 6 Maynard Why not Fair enough mate , i seen it a bit differently , Ellenberger was flattened out , and was taking big shots (all be it most on the arms) they were the type of shots that could potentially have him in trouble and cause the ref to step in and halt , there have been fights ended on such barrages , then there were the sub attempts , they should have scored big , because they were actually very close What about Sanchez having his back twice and mounting him ?? in comparision can you see my point on the in difference in scoring ?? In defence of what you say , the referee was spot on as you say evident by Ellenberger reversing Diego late in the round
Don't get me wrong man, I see where you're coming from, it just wasn't enough from my point of view. :good
I don't think that it should even be possible for judges to score 10-7 rounds in MMA. The kind of sustained damaged that it should take for a fighter to earn that score should theoretically lead to a stoppage. The ten-point must system doesn't work for 3-5 round MMA fights.
