I actually thought Joanna won, I'd have to watch it again though. Was surprised to see all the judges only gave her 1 round, she did out land Rose by about 50 strikes I think. She landed a ton of leg kicks but, outside of that, Rose landed the much more significant strikes. I thought Rose clearly won the first two rounds, clocked Joanna early in the 3rd and the rest of that round was basically a wash, Joanna won the 4th and Rose took the 5th when she got more aggressive and then secured the takedown. I initially had it 48-47 Rose but I can see the 49-46 due to Joanna only winning the 4th clearly (and even then, it wasn't THAT clear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 pretty crazy that Khabib couldn't take down Gleison Tibau and he actually go taken down twice. Rogan and Goldberg were surprised Khabib won when the decision was read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 5 hours ago, PAW said: I don't necessarily disagree, but the biggest factors rounds 4 and 5 add are testing your cardio and mental toughness. Khabib has insane cardio and would have no issues going 5 with anyone and you aren't going to be tested mentally fighting a clearly inferior fighter. He doesn't know for sure that he'll have no problems going 5 rounds until he actually does it though. He doesn't want to find out that he hits a wall in the 4th round when it's a title fight against Tony and he's down 2 rounds already. The experience of having done it already is so valuable.

I just watched that fight since it was brought up. It looked like Khabib got clipped with 2 min left in the 2nd but he was able to muscle his way to the corner It was funny that Joe said he expected Khabib to lose and also Khabib's striking has actually improved since then too lol I know Gleison didnt do much but stopping 12 TDs or whatever it was, I cant believe it was a 30-27 UD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossburg Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I thought Rose clearly won 1, 2 and 5. 4th was a tossup, and 3rd was Joanna. I'm ok with 49-46 or 48-47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the scorecard in this case certainly doesnt tell the full story of this fight... Rose controlled that fight for at least 3 rounds (1,2,5). it wasnt a dominant win like the previous fight, but it would be hard for me to give 3 rounds to JJ based on what I saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 I dunno. I blame Carlos Condit for myself not taking leg kicks solely on their own as significant strikes in scoring. Yeah, they score technically but if it's not actually slowing down your opponent (like any Pat Barry fight or the Kattar-Moicana fight) then I don't put much stock into them. Rose kept doing what she was doing the entire fight so, yeah, JJ "outstruck" her as a result of the leg kicks but they didn't really kill Rose's game plan like Moicana did to Kattar.
