    Disgusted for Condit. Won that fight 3-2 round wise. Adore the man and his fighting style though.

    I watched this fight yesterday morning after accidentally seeing the result before I got to watch it. All I knew was Lawlor won by split decision. By the end of the 4th I was already thinking how did Lawlor win this. I had it scored 3-1 to Condit going into the last so when watching the 5th I was expecting a clear onslaught from Lawlor to win the 5th convincingly. That never even happened. Other than a 30 second burst early on the 5th and 60 seconds towards the end, I feel Condit won the 5th too. Lawlor's reckless no holds barred style clouds opinion I think when it comes to the last round. How anyone can give the victory to Lawlor when he threw and landed so few strikes is beyond me.

    Only watched this today, that last round was a complete war. That said, my jaw actually dropped when the referee announced the winner...

    Do the judges fill out the official scorecard throughout the fight or make notes and fill it out at the end?

    Saw a picture of the official score card. They fill it out at the time and the only information it contained was the fighters score for each round and the total score. The score card doesn't contain a breakdown of the points scored, which I assume the judge keeps separately.

    For example:
    Red - Blue corner
    R1 10 - 9
    R2 9 - 10
    R3 10 - 9
    R4 10 - 9
    R5 10 - 9
    Total 49 - 46

    They are free to make any notes they want, but each round should be scored before the next commences.

    Would you say condit shouldn't bother with a rematch? Could he have done any more against lawlor? Would only a knock out suffice?

    I thought he fought the perfect fight, bar getting caught in R2 and R5.

    Disappointed with the Duffy result, but hearing the Hills of Donegal ringing out around the MGM was epic.

    Hopefully some day he'll be in a big fight there and I'll be there for it in person.

    A finish isn't needed, just accurate judging - one judge had it perfect imo.
    With that exact fight, and changing 1 of the judges, he'd be champion now.
