Reply #26: he didn't need to dominate [View All]

it's a ten point must system, Forrest easily won the 2nd and I think he squeaked out the third. Tito didn't do enough to win the first 10-8, so that's how I think Forrest won. Now, there is a definite argument to be made that Tito won the third round, which would then win the fight for him, and that's how it actually did play out. But the first two rounds had clear cut 10-9 winners, the last one is up in the air.

I think you're right. If you watch that fight Arlovsky is lying on the ground blocking those punches. He wasn't doing anything, but I still felt it was called a bit early. He wasn't given the chance to clear any cobwebs. He was in a tough spot, no doubt, but I think that could have went on a little longer.
