    30-27 is a laughable scorecard, Maia dominated the 1st round.

    Maia's stand-up was noticeably better against Grove. I don't mind the judges giving the fight to Munoz, but 30-27 was ridiculous.

    How the hell did any judge give Munoz round 1??? I thought Maia won that fight, but I KNOW he won round 1. Yet some idiot had it 30-27 for Munoz.

    Yep, that was one of the single worst assessments of a round ever by a judge.

    His striking has improved but he has to stop punching without looking at his opponent. He never sees what is coming back at him.

    Maia can still go further. Keep working on that striking and wrestling and they will compliment his jits.

    this.

    ****in stupid judging, I really did think Maia won the fight.Its impossible to think that Munoz won the first round.

    The first and the third I scored for Maia, Munoz really did damage in that second round though. I actually enjoyed that fight quite a bit, probably was the best fight on the card IMO... scoring sucked.
