    Why did they bring so many referees?

    Really liking this no-crowd business.

    Not sure how I'll feel come the two main fights but I'm enjoying the more "intimate" state of the fights. Hearing the thuds, the corners etc.

    Exactly. Hate the constant "woos" from the crowd.

    Well I sure don't miss that fupping "wooing" crap that so many US crowds seem to love so much.

    i feel the crowd is badly missed, that price vs luque fight was a barn burner.

    I'm also thinking do the fighters react in the same way they would in the gym setting, in regards there relaxation temperament?

    Close fight. Can't argue with the decision. Could've gone either way

    I actually had that fight a draw. Also great to see Keith Peterson reminding us why he's an inconsistant ref. I seen the eyepoke as it happened and Cowboy isn't exactly the type to fake an eyepoke.

    I thought Cowboy won the first two rounds in that one, referee missing the clear eye poke was odd too.
    I'm starting to get the feeling that it's becoming as crooked as boxing. Waterson won her fight and we see a lot if strange decisions these days.
    If it continues I'll stop watching it.
    Used to love how it was so easy to fall fights that went the distance and then your have really close ones that were hard time call and every judge would have it 29-28.

    Limited use of Instant Replay is a bit odd?

    Something I'm thinking of there, since the new reply rules have come in, I've not seen a fight stopped, I've missed a few fight nights/numbered events, has a fight ended with the new reply rules.. I'd love to know

    There's only one thing Dana has worked harder at than getting this card to go ahead.

    That's shoving Greg Hardy down our throats!

    I'm not sure myself, I think it's when the ref calls for a reply, if they think it's a fight stopping thing they call the fight.. maybe someone more informed then me can tune in here help me out.. I've not seen it, so my understanding can be questioned

    That round was just bizarre. Castro simply stopped fighting. Completely.
