I think Benavidez won it by outstriking Cejudo, but he did it moving backwards so who knows what the judges saw, even with a deduction

A true renaissance man


Any score that can be assembled from 10-9s with a deduction is close enough to valid that it could be possible. No idea what the judges might turn in.

They should let Joe B and Cejudo rematch for an intercontinental belt or something.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
30-26 is AWFUL

One judge scored all 3 rounds for Cejudo and one scored all 3 for Joe. Bizarre.

It doesn't matter if they land, which they did frequently with lots of force.

I'm not crazy, right? 30 - 26 Cejudo is impossible to score unless you deduct a point from the wrong fighter.

Yeah, but I'm not upset because none of the rounds were clear. At least 2 of those rounds could have gone either way

It wasn't. The 30-26 was in favor of Joe, the judge that went Cejudo scored it 29-27

"He can be beat."

Inspiring hype from Elliot. This guy is breathing fire.

He's both right, and honest, which I appreciate.

I also adore that highlight of Mighty Mouse backing up with his hands up and then just cracking Ian McCall.
