SHOGUN VS HENDO: BEST FIGHT IN YEARS

[apply85]

che is right, the best fights are the lighter weight classes, cuz theyre the best fighters

looks like Shogun dirty bulked 

Yeah dude looked in his worst condition yet, but he gassed in round 2 in previous fights, so looks are deceiving. Incredible fight nonetheless.

He was looing sharper at the weigh in. Guess he loads cards and water heavily after making weight.

[Radical Plato]

but the judge who didn't probably went along

Yeah, I can see the logic in the conspiracy theory argument.  So your saying even though Henderson smashed Shoguns face in for five rounds, so badly that his mother wouldn't recognise him that the American Judge still wasn't convinced enough so decided that the fact Henderson come from the same country as him was enough for him to falsify his score sheet thus jeopardising his career and reputation and releasing some unconscious racist bias lurking in his physche.  Yeah, I see, maybe the judge did just go along.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, from my perspective, Shogun's final round secured a 47 - 47 draw. Its all subjective and any genuine opinion holds as much value as the next but that'show i saw it.

 It was an unanimous decision. I disagree with that. I think Hendo won the first three rounds but lost the last two. It should have been a split decision. I think the fact that Hendo is American might have played a role here.

I was shocked to see all 3 judges in Hendo's favour, i thought it was going to be a split decision. I don't think a draw would've had me too surprised either.

Got a lot of respect for Shogun now, wasn't too big a fan of him prior to this battle.

Great card on paper, great to watch.

[Migs]

i had Hendo 3 rounds to 2.  It was a great fight.  great recovery from both of them.  Truly one of the better fights in a while.

It was good, but neither fighter is winning a belt any time soon.
