The controversial decision has been overturned: http://www.yourmma.tv/news/details....on-mariusz-pudzianowski-ksw-17-no-contest.htm Was a really bad decision. Seems like KSW are trying to save face on this one.
I agree it should have been a draw (or a win for Thompson), I´m happy to see that KSW is trying to save their face they´re doing the right thing
it wasnt a "bad decision" it was a fix just like pacquiao marquez both sports are rife with corruption
They needed another round between the two to determine a winner for certain. However it is worth noting that Pudz could probably fight Thompson once a month in Poland if he so chose. People would pay to see it and Thompson would get paid to fight. It's a win win situation for everyone.
Thompson seemed to win the first, Pudz the second. It was just a lot of sloppy grappling over a prolonged ugly fight. A draw seemed most likely - with a third round to determine the winner as per the rules. However Pudz got the nod. They should add Tank Abbott vs Scott Ferazo to the undercard each month.
Yes, a **** poor decision in a rinky-dink organization that has no real relevance in the world of MMA is indicative of corruption throughout and is on a par with the questionable judging in a World Championship Boxing match between two of the biggest names in the sport on the biggest stage. Makes perfect sense?
I know that you're trying to make a point, but just to let you know that KSW isn't 'rinky dink' - about 17,000 in the arena and millions watching on TV.
Yeah, it's rinky-dink. Pull Pudzianowski off that card and see if 17,000 people still show up. Doubt you'll even get 5,000 and most people wouldn't give enough of a **** about it to tune in on T.V. Put Brock Lesnar on some truly shitty organization and you're going to sell out the venue and if it's broadcast, people will tune in. The organization will still be shitty.
