Thompson. It wasn’t even close. My bet has NOTHING to do with it. Judging criteria supports this 100%.

You my friend are on crack

It wasnt! There hasn’t been one analyst or Pro fighter that says Till won yet. Simply bc he didn’t...

This was done clearly to get Thompson out of the Title picture...

I'm saying WB won and it wasn't close.

I mean it's not in the 50 worst decisions I've seen in combat sports but I think he clearly won.

The fight being in Liverpool and getting the benefit of the doubt from the judges is priced into the line though, so it is what it is.

Do you guys just lose fights and say you should've won? Because yea this is ridiculous

Who is you guys? The majority of the press, the post-fight panel, us in this thread?

You're entitled to your opinion but it's a contrarian 1 so spinning it as we're off our rocker in this thread is just stupid. The prevailing sentiment is echoing what we've said.

I don't really care who you like and don't like, that has nothing to do who won the fight under MMA judging rules.

Lmao the dude ran. Til was the offensive in a fight where he was apparently suppose to get tired.

There is always a narrative to every fight. If that narrative turns out to be false then judges give more credit to the guy who overcame it.


Thompson has no power. Nothing hurt Til. Til dropped him. It would have been robbery if thompson won

Yea,Green Crack. Shit is all hype,just like Till...

That's that whack. You know that. Get back to that strawberry cough. Til might be hype. But thompson is nothing special for a professional fighter. Dude is soft and I don't like how he fights.

I don't care who you think won either. Shit is too comical to be taken seriously especially if you can't admit you were off on this fight. But I guess not

I got a problem with how he carries himself as a fighter personally. Maybe he wasn't like this years ago. But since the Woodley fight his personality is of a 13 year old girl ready to take L's.

I agree with most of the WB criticisms. Too tentative at times, all the smiling, hand slapping, puts way too much onus on the judges when his fighting style is highly subjective to score.

But still think he won more rds than Till did which is all that matters as there were no 10-8 rds.

That's fine, but if you're trying to rise to the level of being anything other than the village idiot around here then you should atleast acknowledge that the opinions of those expressed in this thread are the consensus opinion of the fight.

I didn't pull thinking he won out of my ass, the majority of the people covering the fight agreed with me. So just say you disagree with the consensus opinion rather than telling me I'm on crack.

Right. The consensus said it so it must be accurate. I don't care what they think.

Im sorry anyone who thought thompson won is a fucking idiot. All of your consensus. I agree it wasn't a 5 rds to 0 fight but no way thompson did enough to win..no fucking way

Didn't say it must be accurate but it's worth atleast considering that you are wrong if so many have the opposite view that you do. Not even necessarily that they are wrong, but that their opinion isn't outlandish.

You've made it clear you don't like 1 of the fighters thus that creates a cognitive bias about the result.

Not like I said it was Manny Pacquiao/Timothy Bradley 1, I just said I thought he won the fight and the loss doesn't surprise me because when betting it I had Till getting a decision that most would disagree w/ well within the range of outcomes with the fight being in Liverpool.

MM probably done for the day since the chances of anyone he knows becoming UFC champ just went from like 20% to 0% but was looking for his take on RDA/Covington.

Covington is a smothering wrestler with a size advantage, that's an interesting combination to be an underdog against RDA.

Cognitive bias is over my head. Lol ok.

He fought like a pussy. There was no bias needed at all. Til is way more dangerous of a fighter...it's not even remotely close. Was the fight close? Sure because neither fighter did a whole lot....but to say Thompson did more than Til is comical. He maybe of landed more I dno but his punches do not have any power.

Usually in a fight you have to get hurt in order to lose. Til was never hurt. Thompson at times no question was.

Their is alwaysssss a group of people who see it differently, especially a fight. And speaking of bias.....there is always a group of people who think they were right when they were wrong and just refuse to come to terms with it.
