    Whittaker's round, Yoel is gassing here or at the very least taking a round off. He looks petrified at times too.

    It's effecting his movement. No question. But he is still in there. He actually won the third round handily.

    4-1 Whittaker.

    As I said, Yoel is overrated. 5 minute fighter. Couldn't even beat a one legged injured opponent. Flashbacks to Haye vs Bellew. Embarrassing not to be able to finish a guy on one leg.

    How is it not? The first round is a pick'um but Yoel threw about 5 shots in in rounds 3, 4 and 5. He lost all three convincingly.

    4th and 5th were close enough, whittaker tinted glasses to think he won them 3 rounds easily he was nearly as gassed in the 5th, great fight and fancy both to beat Bisping shame its not Romero.

    Romero walked him down, that was a slip not a td but the top pressure shaded it just for Whittaker but nothing like people are claiming.

    Bisping is an idiot. He disrespected his own title instead of Whittakers. He's a cringeworthy gob****e if ever there was one.

    In the 5th Whittaker outlanded him in volume, hurt him AND got the top pressure.

    It was the easiest fight in history to score. Romero won the first 2 rounds, Whittaker won the last 3 rounds.

    Extremely clear victory. By definition 3 rounds to 2 is a close fight but it was crystal clear who won.

    Yeah I agree even as a Romero fanboy :(

    After rounds 1/2 I was sure Romero would be able to at least pick up one more round against an opponent with one leg..... I am happy for Whitaker anyway, the guy is a gentleman and he deserves a shot at the title.

    I had Romero winning the 5th till the last minute, does 1 minute of top pressure on the ground beat 4 minutes of being walked down? debatable for me can easily see why you'd give it to Robert but not crystal clear imo.

    Dangerous to write Bisping off but anyone else think Whittaker beats him everywhere? similar enough fighters Robert is the younger lion I feel.

    Walked down? Do you get points now for "effective walking"? You can't walk somebody down if you dont throw any punches.....which Yoel didn't. Yoel got out struck severely in 3,4 and 5 by virtue of the fact that he threw hardly anything.

    Yeah actually you do its called octagon control so its part of the scoring criteria.

    And it's the last criteria the judges go to and only when everything else is equal....as you well know. And "walking" is not octogon control. You know that too. At least you should.

    As you well know or should number of strikes landed is not safe to presume who wins a round or was winning in this case, you could land 10 punches to my 1 that drops you who wins that so in your opinion? I never said Yoel was running away with the 5th either I had him edging it its all academic anyways because the minute or 2 swayed it on top position.

    Ouch: Dana disses Nunes again in the after-show, says he won't "main event" this title again.

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Yes he will. He said the EXACT same thing about DC v Jones. "Jones will have to fight somebody else before DC to prove he can show up before I'll put him in the main event again."

    Yet, look. Thats the main event next up. It's just Dana blowing hot air. He said similar when Khabib had his tiramisu meltdown and yet now the UFC are providing him nutrionist help and him and Tony is happening again.
