So everyone is calling the Condit vs Lawler fight a
robbery. To preface is this. I was pretty drunk by the main event. Should have started with beer rather than
hitting up the whiskey first. Doesn’t
matter it was a close fight. Everyone
says it came down to round 3. It came to
one round and the debate is power over abundance. I don’t even consider this fight to be the litmus
test for robberies. I still think
Hendricks vs GSP is one of the bigger title fight robberies. There are tons of other robberies that happen
this year. Like Beneil Dariush vs
Michael Johnson there are tons of other bad judging calls. I’ve been thinking about them and I’m not
upset about these calls. I’m kind of even happen about them. Let me explain
first before you go off on a tirade. I
think every one of these fighters needs to think about how the judges might
fuck this up when they are recovering in their corners. I think their corners
need to error on the side of caution or reinforce that the judges could see it
a different way. We all want the
submission or the knockout but I understand it doesn’t come that easy. I really want to see the fighters coming out
and trying to win the fight. If you
anyone saw the first fight on Fight Pass and saw how Joe Soto came out there to
try and win that fight in the last round.
I want to see fighters doing that all of the time. He
What the real discussion is how you judge a jab or
kick. Or even a jab to a takedown. I don’t know who these judges are but they
could be of the thought that if you are on top you are winning school. However, I for one, value damage more. If you rock or cut your opponent, I’m going
to score that higher than a takedown. If
you are on top you have to be trying to pass or trying to throw strikes that
hurt your opponent. I’m not counting
those ticky tack body shots in full guard while your opponent is controlling
your head. The tricky part is judging
submission attempts. Guillotines and
triangles are tough to judge because you don’t know how tight those choke are,
also on top of that you are usually on the bottom when you get them locked
in. It’s easier for arm locks because
you knew arms aren’t supposed to be bend a certain way and the position of their
arm is very telling. How do you score
takedown that a guys on the bottom lands 10 elbows from the bottom and gets
back to his fight within 10 seconds. Do
you give it to the guy throwing the elbows or the guy who took him down. My solution is fire the crazy judges who don’t
know what they are doing and remind fighters not to leave their fates in the
hands of others.
