Yeah, they got way into the momentum and forgot what happened before. I personally had it 29-28 Sidey after giving him the third but I was pretty sure that would be a split and there's a decent argument either way.

I think it's close-ish but they're acting like it's a huge robbery when Sidey was badly hurt multiple times in multiple rounds. I scored it 29-28 Taveras, I don't think the late rally in 2 was enough to overcome the start of that round.

Good news: As always, none of the judges agree with each other either.

I understand a split decision. I don't understand giving Sidey the 2nd but not the 3rd.

Judges, man. What can you do. :shrug:

That fight was an excellent example of my Sean Woodson consternation. He's genuinely good, but he's not good enough to do as little as he does.

It was a fine performance but I would've liked to see Woodson threaten Jourdain more. It felt like he had an edge but was content to let Jourdain try enough things that it was closer than it needed to be.

Real good poo poo by Evloev, but it got chancy for him at the end.

Tom Clancy is Dead

Evloev is extremely good. Allen is not easy to take down and the scrambles were great, but Evloev has top tier wrestling. He's going to be vulnerable to getting hurt when switching to open his wrestling, though, I could see someone like Volk picking up on it and catching him while crossing.

Normally I appreciate all-action fighters switching it up and being strategic but Barriault is doing it without actually getting much done
