Damaramu 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 Damn I was loving Karo's throws. Everytime Havier wins a fight an angel loses it's wings and the baby jesus cries. Oh well I still don't think he can hang with GSP or Hughes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 Really happy to see Diego win, and the guy does have exciting fights. However I think after seeing him struggle taking down Alessio GSP would murder him, as would BJ Penn. Sprawl and Brawl galore. Matt Hughes would be more of a fight since Diego is good enough off of his back to give him a good battle. Still, Matt Hughes should pound him out as well. Regardless, the guy's grappling is amazing and his scrambling is almost unparallel in MMA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 30-26 was the worst scorecard I've seen from a UFC judge. When I heard that I was pissed. It's ashame Karo gassed in the last around. You could argue a 10-8 round for Diego in the last round, but I personally thought it was 10-9. Still really close fight. Karo's judo throws had me marking out.

The two 29-28's were just as bad though, since Diego clearly won that last round by 10-8. I was expecting 28-28 x3 myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was cut up and had his back taken. No way he did enough for the first round. 29-28 was the right call. 30-26 should be shot though, you're all right about that.

Karo took down Diego more then once with his judo throws, and usually by UFC standards takedowns count as points. I gave the 1st 2 rounds to Karo. Either way, I think there should be a rematch in 07.

I personally wouldn't have given Karo the first round. I thought the judges would though since he got a nice takedown in that round and aside from that nasty uppercut Diego caught him with, I wasn't sure how they'd score that one. Karo definitely won the 2nd, and Diego murdered him in the 3rd. I forgot I wasn't watching boxing for a minute where they surely would have gone 28-28 and held the rematch on PPV as a grinning Dana White proclaimed it to be "one of the greatest fights ever".

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 Well from a damage perspective Diego won it, and from a grappling perspective he won it too. UFC Standards don't say takedowns should be points, it's just the judges are too stupid to understand anything other than takedowns. By UFC criteria, Diego got the first round.
