Tired of bad judging

i think forrest won that fight tonight but those judges were way way off. theres been alot of questionable calls in many different organizations recently. the elite cbs shit kinda highlighted that. i think within 3 years there will be a huge mma judging scandal. people are getting greedy with mma becoming a huge money maker and its turning into boxing

How did you manage to post a thread in the Gen section with hardly any posts an pretty much no rep.

I thought there were limits for that kind of thing.

Also i agree with the judging, i had it 3-2 and all though i could possible see 4-1 its just not something i agree with.

yea i dot know wat fight you saw dude, but the judges scored that spot on man. two of the three had it 48-46, which is the most accurate, having forrest winning 3 of the five rounds, and getting a 10-8 on the second round. the third judge had forrest winning four, which is still not out of the question, because forrest could have easily stolen the third round from rampage, leaving quinton with only the 1st round.

Yeah, the fight was judged correctly. The round Page got the knock down Forest could have won, because that was his only offense for that round. it would have been a crime if the judges took that fight from forest, when rampage even knew he lost.

To be honest i had that fight split decision rampage. 10-9 first round due to knockdown and dominant position. Round 2 10-8 forrest, total domination with the cut kicks and the dominant position on the ground. Round 3 10-9 rampage due to accumulation of damage. Round 4 could have went either way, and i think round 5 was Quintons 10-9, but once again super close. Usually they maintain the status quo, but the judges must have been tripping on salvia or something tonight to end up with the unanimous decision they had.Even Nelson Hamilton surprised me,he's usually pretty decent. Either way, Forrest impressed the hell out of me tonight and proved the win over shogun probably had less to do with Shogun getting married and having a bad knee and more to do Forrest being a hard worker and consantly improving.

I still dont see how Forrest won 3 rounds.. two rounds including a 10-8 round is what I gave him.

I completely agree. Which would have made it a draw. I had it 1, 3, 4 for Rampage and 2(10-8) and 5 for Forrest. But I can definitely say rampage did not win the fight in my eyes. And anyone who saw that fight could see the same exact thing no matter how big of a Rampage fan you are. Trust me, my girl friend and I love rampage and we didn't think he won.

I had Forrest winning the second (posibilly 10-8 but I need to watch it again) and the 5th for sure... and I had Rampage winning the 1st and the 4th for sure... I still want to watch the fight again to judge the 3rd round but I had a hard time scoring it it (possibly a 9-9 round).

It all comes down to not leaving your fait in the judges hands.
