    Izzy's right hand might be banjaxed. Didn't throw it once in the last three minutes of the round and was holding it the odd time.

    Did not notice that

    I'd have it 2-2 with Jan a strong favourite to win the last round and the fight.

    Judges do be dodgy, though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    I could live with 3-1 Jan, 2-2 or maybe even 3-1 Izzy at a push.

    Nailed on split decision if this goes to the scorecards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,484 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Most clear round.

    This is 2-2 at least.

    I have it 3-1 Jan.

    The judges could have it 7-0 to Sheffield Wednesday for all I know.

    I think 2-2

    He has the road map to the win though

    I'd say they'll have arsenal winning a title

    I have it 3-1 to Blachowicz but the only rounds I'd trust the judges with are 1st for Adesanya and 4th for Blachowicz.

    3-1 to Jan in my opinion. Might be 2-2 at a push but can't see Izzy ahead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    49-46 Jan for me but 48-47 at worst.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,993 ✭✭✭FileNotFound


    Jan has to have it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Jan has done enough brilliant performance

    48-47 Jan for me.

    Really not expecting much from these judges though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    Clearly Jan but I'd expect the judges to **** him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,484 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Jan takes it for me.

    48-47 at least

    49-46 for me

    Why do I feel like the judges will have been on the DC/Rogan train and just giving Izzy the first three by default?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,448 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Sometimes you don't need to be flashy to get the won. Lots of underappreciated skill from Jan there, at least going by the commentators


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,993 ✭✭✭FileNotFound


    Dana ****ting himself in the background


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Commentary is so bad all night feels like DC smartened up in the last round.


  • Posts: 429 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Jan 3-2 for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,993 ✭✭✭FileNotFound


    Holy crap, the judges woke up and even went a bit jan mad.


  • Posts: 25,909 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Well **** me the judges were spot on for the first time all night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,560 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Common sense has prevailed, thank god.

    Great performance from Jan, but I'm convinced Izzy has a broken hand since round 2 or 3.

    2 49-45s wow. You wouldn't expect that going by the commentary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 116 ✭✭d00mk1n


    Dana looks like he’s seen a ghost


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Rogan and co don't understand the scoring criteria at all.

    You might be right. Izzy would have benefitted from larger octagon.

    Pulled glove of just fine in interview


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,484 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Correct judging for a change.

    Someone was talking about the "oooh"s during the rounds and that last round was a good example.

    Jan landed 4-5 decent shots, nothing. 3:30 on the clock, Izzy lands and Joe's out with the "ooohhh!"


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,241 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    DC not understanding how they got a 49-45. It's fúcking easy. One 10-9 for Izzy. The rest of the rounds for Jan with one of them being a 10-8


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Could you imagine what Jon Jones would have done to Izzy.

    Probably would have picked him up and dumped him over the octagon! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Interview the loser first ? WOW


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,484 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Joe was so convinced Izzy would win he's even giving him the post fight interview

    Anderson
    Jan landed a big right in the last and there wasn't even a mention. Ridiculous bias
