Agreeing with the thread that this should be 29-28 Hooker

The common European water frog, which is edible and the common source for frog legs in France, has 26 chromosomes, just to complete Izzy�s list of guesses at the human karyotype, which never quite got to 23

drat, what a fight

Kindof a weird finish, but goddamn, great fight.

I think I�d give Pantoja this 28-27, but it could go either way

I had the rounds the same way as the (sane) judges � I thought Moreno did enough damage to outweigh the control in the 4th but not in the 5th. Not the same round at all, contra the commentators.

49-46 Moreno is someone deciding that wrestling and control don�t matter if you don�t get any damage done, I guess

to be fair they were arguing this on commentary and it drives me insane

"Sure, but does holding back control and punching an opponent in the side of the head REALLY count?" yes it does motherfucker how are we having this conversation

Yeah it�s nuts

A lot of that swinging wasn�t connecting, I don�t have a problem with Dean waiting to end it
