Diego vs Karo

[RedHawk]

Anyone see the fight?


Was a good fight. Every round had action. I think Diego should have taken the dec with a score of 29-28. Although a case could be made either way.

was a close fight. Even if one of the stupid UFC judges scored it way off for Diego.

Great fight. I though Diego defintly won it and you can argue 30-27 if you give him both close rounds but 30-26 is kinda stretching it.

[RedHawk]

what is the criteria for UFC scoring?


takedowns, strikes?

[RedHawk]

Also, Karo's judo throws were awesome. He planted Diego on his head twice with throws. Pretty funnt considering Diego said that "karo wont take me down with that judo crap" :)

30-28 all the way for Diego in my scoring card!
30-27 was not very shocking to me..... 30-26 was....

You're not supposed to have 10-10 rounds, so 30-28 isn't possible.

[blacks]

They had 10-10 rounds in the UFC plenty of times.

[Faster]

They had 10-10 rounds in the UFC plenty of times.

You may be right.....but many people are under the inclination that, myself included, that 10-10 rounds shouldn't be given out. Can someone verify when there has been 10-10 rounds of recent?

vernion white/ian freeman.

the nsac rules state that a 10-10 round is a possible scoring outcome. it just isnt used too often.

[blacks]

One judge scored Griffin vs Bonnar 30-28, and more recently Goulet vs Cummo had a 29-29 score.

Edit: Also Shirley scored Bonnar vs Evans 29-29.

i only mentioned freeman/white because it actually ended up a draw as result after 3 rounds.

Man..... this may have been the fight of the year..... it was like Forrest and Bonnar with more technique and at a different weight division. Both went balls to the wall from the door! I had Karo edging it, but the whuppen that he recieved at the end of round 3.... I have no problem with Diego taking his just deserts. Best fight in a long time to grace the Octagon.

Just watched it again cause the first time I was at work and couldn't concentrate. Yeah Diego deserved it but Karo was a stud as usual and the fight was awesome. Karo is extremely tough but Diego just had that added grappling slickness and jump to him.

I usually cheer against Diego but ever since Nick diaz, he has slowly won me over. He is really talented and has gotten this far without needing good standup.

I thought Diaz would beat him, then I thought Alessio would beat him, then I thought Parisyan would beat him and now I think Hughes or GSP will beat him...we'll see cause he consistently surprises me.

I gave it to Diego 30-27.
