    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!

    What do you mean by stopped? Like as in a doctor stopping or what? Sorry just not sure

    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

    Surely Hardy wins by virtue of being the only guy attempting to fight.

    I'm only half joking when I ask how much money did Dana give De Castro to throw the fight? Because that was beyond bizarre. If a boxer did nothing for the last 2/3rds of a fight everyone would be screaming 'fix'

    De Castro probably broke a bone or two in his foot but still seen people do more with worse injuries?

    Dunno how it was 30-27 by all judges? De Castro wins round 1 all day - Hardy deserves it because, well De Castro stopped fighting

    Horrible fight. I don't know what Dana is expecting at this point. Hardy doesn't partake in exciting fights. And it doesn't help that they keep putting him in against tomato cans with no gas tank.

    That fight was on the main card ahead of Cowboy v Pettis!

    Unanimous/split doesn't really tell the story of how close the fights was, just how inconsistent judging is. Most fights that go to decision should be unanimous.

    The headline fight on the Prelims and early prelims generally gets paid more than people on the main card besides headline and co-headline fights.

    The prelims are also free on ESPN so draw a massive audience and as such you need a big name fight as the prelim headliner to get even more eyes on advertisements.

    So to this point we have Michelle Waterson losing and by 30-27 with one judge, Hardy gets the first round from all three judges and then Cowboy losing which to me was dodge.

    I think saying this was a bad fight cause of the gas tank is wrong, decastro fcuked his foot up played a huge part in the sh!t show..

    Think decastro would of got him out by leg kicks or a haymaker if the foot injury didn't happen.
