[NarcissisticDeity]

Yeah but Jones was posing a threat to Gustafsson during almost the whole fight.

I agree it was close , but a 49-46? no way. I thought it was very close with Guff pulling out a close call

Hell it was a great fight all the way around , especially considering I never expected it to go 5 rounds.

[che]

I agree

I was making fun of BUM BUM retarded comment  .

[thebrink]

Jones not as impressive when fighting someone closer to his own size a reach.

he is still a skilled fighter though and showed heart.

Yes. I had Jones the winner in a tough fight. he landed all of the punches that anyone will remember

[thebrink]

Agreed. He won without question but it was closer than most people think.

[MAXX]

Yes Jones probably won. But looks promising and is still relatively young.

[che]

. he landed all of the punches that anyone will remember

Yeah but that's not how you score a fight.

[thebrink]

Yeah but that's not how you score a fight.

but mma shouldn't be scored like boxing.

[Archer77]

but mma shouldn't be scored like boxing.

It shouldn't which is why repeatedly stuffing take downs should carry some kind of weight.

[che]

It should not

[Palpatine Q]

Yeah but that's not how you score a fight.

effective aggressiveness.

you can make all the right moves and have great ring generalship..if it doesn't pay off with significant scored blows...who cares.

that's my opinion, I don't pretend to know boxing like you.

Good point.

If you get credit for take downs than blocking them should be taken into account as well. (EDIT: I changed my mind...successful or unsuccseful takedowns should have no bearing. Should be about what happens when on the ground that matters)

Jones did land some killer elbows but the viking took them like a champ. In the end jones' face was a lot more FUCKED UP that gustaff's...should they take that into account as well?? NO... so I agree with what che is saying.

Like Chael Sonnen says, when we saw fights at the schoolyard as kids we all know who won. Its over complicating things that makes bad decisions.

[WalterWhite]

Besides the last minute of the 4th round, where else did you see this?

The Swede got Jones down, something which no one has ever done.

The Swede busted up Jones' right eye and mouth, something which no one has ever done.

The Swede managed to stuff 99% of Jones' takedown attempts (with only one takedown occuring in the 4th round for under ten seconds).

The Swede outclasses Jones by way of his boxing, something which no one has ever done.

I don't know man, but I think the Swede took it.

"1"

Great points OMR I agree.

I prefer the way the fights were judged in Japan.

[thebrink]

I prefer the way the fights were judged in Japan.

Its the only way fights should be judged, not this 10 point boxing system. Yellow cards should be brought back too.

[Borracho]

I prefer the way the fights were judged in Japan.

Pride was great...fights rarely went past the first 10 minute round though 

[thebrink]

fights are judged as an entirety in japan, where in the 10 point system, each round is judged as a fight within itself and tallied up at the end.

[Borracho]

If japan is so great why don't you guys move there then

[Bam-bam]

gustafsson has heart but he has pillow in his hands too, and after the 3rd round he was basically in survivorship mode and thats precisely why he blew his chance to get the belt after the first two hot rounds.

[Bam-bam]

sorry Che, I know that you know a lot about fighting and wanted to be a boxer as a kid, but this time the judges scored it right giving the black man the victory via UD.

[arce1988]

That's why Jones looked like his face was smashed with bricks.  Jones can take a punch so the pillow hands comment has no merit.

[arce1988]

  Who looked like they were going to die in the championship rounds (4th and 5th) ? Jon?
