I think the big fuss is that, even after re-viewing the event, and after all the press tabulated their scores, everyone still had Shogun winning.Mintmaster wrote: ↑People, calm down. Go read Jake Rossen's take on this to see an unbiased take. He scored it 50-45 during the fight but calling all rounds close. Then he rewatched it and said it should be 48-47 Rua, recanting his claims that it was robbery. Two Sherdog judges scored it the same, but with disagreement on the rounds.
One close round out of five going the wrong way is not robbery. It's simply judges not being in tune with the fans for scoring criteria. They don't have the same viewpoint we do, either.
How is it possible that all the press had Shogun winning (anywhere between 50-45 to 48-47), but none of the 3 unbiased judges didn't have Shogun winning?
It is a huge coincidence, but still...I'm pretty pissed off for Shogun.
He loses a lot of $$ because of this, but at least he gained a lot of fans. I wonder how many fans Lyoto lost.
I honestly think Lyoto didn't take this fight every seriously.
He died for me, I live for him
