Thought the fight was a close match, personally thought Pierce won but I don't think it was a bad decision, the fight was close.


 


Here's my 2 questions -


1 - On the undercard Herb Dean took 2 points away from Alex for his 2nd low blow after 1 'strong' warning.   In this fight he warned Kos in the 2nd round about keeping his fingers in.  He then followed Kos to the corner and warned him a 2nd time, stating that he'd been doing it all night long.   In the 3rd there was a pretty bad eye poke and Herb does nothing?    Thought that was a little odd.


 


2 - I don't know how the judges see everything.  In the 3rd round Kos nails a double leg takedown and Joe R basically says that probably won him the fight.    I would say that the spinning elbow Pierce threw did more damage than any double leg.    We here it all the time but I always find it odd that after a 15 minute fight they think it was won on a takedown with about 10 seconds of control.    If the guy getting taken down gets right back up I don't think it should could on the scorecards.    But over and over again it does.

Completly agree.  I thought Pierce won that fight.  Takedowns that don't do damage, or land you in a position to do damage should be scored so highly.  And then we look at the Diaz Condit fight, I had Diaz winning the 1st and 2nd, 3rd was close probably swaying towards Condit, Condit took the 4th, then the 5th was close with Diaz getting a takedown, securing the back, threatening a choke, going for an armbar and he drops a 49-46 decision!  Not even close to consistent judging.

11th dan in Parnes Jiu-Jitsu, it's one more than Ransom's. Real PJJ goes to 11!
