Yeah Davis actually looked pretty good striking wise in that fight. He's going nothing to be ashamed about.Davis/Machida is WAY more even than I thought. Machida is definitely winning but Phil's striking has massively improved, and he is mixing up his takedowns great. Its just a shame he is up against Lyoto who has monster TDD. Great fight though, Phil is finally coming into his own.
He should probably be ashamed of blackmailing the judges, cause that's the only way he got that decision.Yeah Davis actually looked pretty good striking wise in that fight. He's going nothing to be ashamed about.
See, this is where it got muddy then. Sammiel and I in IRC scored the first for Machida, 2nd for Davis, 3rd for Machida.That was....unexpected...
I gave Davis the first just barely. Second seemed like Machida to me, the one big left should negate the one late takedown, and aside from that Machida landed a few more shots. 3rd was clearly Machida.
It's not the worst decision we've seen by a long shot, but sure looked like Machida should have won 29-28.
