    Off topic slightly but the USA women's soccer team were beaten by a boys under 15 team once!


    Hope this is a good scrap!

    Lovely first round, not entirely one-sided either. Santos countered a couple of those oblique kicks really well.

    Still fancy Jones to improve and win it handily later in the fight.

    Jones legs look unstable.

    Jones way too tentative! He could be 2 rounds down here

    Jones very much settled into the fight now, he’s only going to look better from here on in. Still believe he’ll get a late finish.

    Stepped up that round Jones did. Santos needs to push forward.

    Would Rogan ever shut up about Santos knee.

    Good round for Jones but he's playing with fire. He could be 2-1 down. Won't take much for Santos to nab another round

    Jones looks like absolute dogsh*t in there. He's advancing, but not actually throwing anything. What is he waiting for?

    Gave 1 2 and 5 to the brasilian but will be shocked if they give it to him

    Jones had a 10-8 but it could easily be a draw. I think it's 48-46 or a draw.
    Kudos to Santos either way.

    When?

    There was no 10-8 rounds there. This isn't boxing. A knockdown doesn't make a 10-8.

    Don't think so man. Two judges 48 47... no one gave it 10 8

    Even with the new rules, there was no 10-8 round in that, not even one you could make a compelling argument for.

    I had it as two of the judges did, but it really could’ve gone to Santos and I wouldn’t have complained. A seriously close fight, and I’d like to see the rematch in December if Thiago’s knee isn’t too bad.

    There was nothing anywhere near a 10-8. We can't have been watching the same fight

    This is how I felt, very close, think Santos won 1 and 2, and Jones shaded the last 3, but I think you could give any round to either of them.

    Jones looked gunshy most of the fight.
