Not one judge

Agree op

How can that round be scored the same as any of the rounds in the Watson catone fight. Phone Post 3.0

The same judge (Tirelli) who gave out two 10-8's in the Iaquinta vs Lee fight was judging the Overeem fight too. Even more ridiculous


okay, that's fucked up.

The only "issue" with more 10-8 rounds is that it may result in more draws in three round fights, which I am actually ok with. An even fight that could go either way SHOULD be a draw in my opinion.

Round one fit the criteria for a 10-8 in every conceivable way. There is no consistency in the way MMA judges score fights and I really think it's a major problem. Phone Post 3.0

Yeah, I can't get a read on this judging at all anymore. It just seems like pin the tail on the Donkey shit to me.

I can see it being a 10-9. This isn't boxing. In MMA a fighter has to be dominant throughout the entrire rnd. to receive a 10-8. It was a solid 10-8.5 if there were half points allowed but there isn't. Giving Reem a 10-9 isn't very controversial.

If that's true then there simply is no such thing as a 10-7 Phone Post 3.0


I did a Big John McCarthy Judging Seminar and I forgot which fight he showed as an example of a 10-7 round and I remember personally thinking that the fight should've been stopped, but wasn't. Fighter A damn near died that round.

Op is correcto. MMA scoring criteria is simply nonexistent Phone Post 3.0

That's exactly the way I see it though.

A round that reasonably could have been stopped should be a 10-7, a dominant round should be a 10-8 and a relatively close round should be 10-9.

I just can't wrap my head around the idea that anyone could consider a system that scores reem/Mir round one the same as any of the rounds in bones/Gustafson as a legitimate system.

And it's not right to only worry about it when it affects the outcome, it's an issue regardless. Phone Post 3.0

Really odd considering they gave Hester rd 3 against Enz. Sure Hester won the round, but it wasn't even his more dominate round. Phone Post 3.0

Bullshit.

Reem was milliseconds away from a finish and outlanded Mir like 50-1. How can you say that wasn't a completely dominant round. If that wasn't a 10-8 I don't know what is.

The fact that a round like that gets scored the same as close rounds is a HUGE issue in MMA. Phone Post 3.0
It's hard to say, really. I would have scored it 10-8, but sometimes almost getting a finish isn't enough. It depends on the fight.

If Overeem almost finished but the rest of the round was very competitive, I would have scored it 10-9. But it wasn't. Phone Post 3.0

But that's not what happened. Mir generated next to no offense and reem nearly finished him and landed tons of clean shots.

I don't think there is a REASONABLE case for a 10-9. Phone Post 3.0

There was nothing competitive about round 1. Phone Post 3.0
