I’m indifferent about the stoppage. He was hurt but, it appeared that Jiri had some more fight in him. On the other hand, Jiri’s body language after the elbows likely didn’t look good from a ref perspective.
Yeah I am quite certain Pereira gets the finish here anyway, I just would have liked to give Jiri the chance to try to hang on, because he has NO quit in him whatsoever.
Tom is the real champ now. Jon will come back in a year and fight Stipe, win, and then both will retire. Tom will be the defacto champ or he'll fight Ciryl Gane to cement it.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting and frankly stunning read. In the second fight, the dissenting judge seems to show disregard for the actual rules which say that only effective striking and effective grappling (damage and submission threats) count in the first instance. Only when there is no difference in that regard, stuff like ring control can even be taken into consideration.
But this guy goes deep with his alternative interpretation: "Lara had some great leg kicks in the first round and was bruising the inside of the leg. Diana kept coming forward, so I gave (Diana) the first round. [Maybe he left out some stuff because that round seems to have clearly been Diana’s but according to this observation, it should have been Lara’s round!] The second round, (Lara) was landing those kicks. Now Diana wasn’t coming forward, so subjectively I thought she had diminished energy. She wasn’t active coming forward, and Lara kept coming forward and was hurting her with the leg kicks. But I really thought she had some right power punches that were more effective the second round and incurred a good bit of damage. That’s why I gave it to her. I thought her striking was more effective – maybe not more efficient, but more effective.”
He seems to decide correctly in the end but it feels very strange to me that someone who is being paid to judge professionally will even talk about this “coming forward” and even the vague diminished energy kind of stuff (if it is not from actively being tired out by having your opponent doing the backpack or sth like that) because those simply should not matter according to the rules.
Anyway, great to hear from judges but that really did not convince me that the decisions are in safe hands.
It’s interesting to hear their perspectives. I think a lot of judges have not trained and have little knowledge of the sport. I like the idea of more ex-fighters, like Leben, reffing and judging.
Yeah same. The dude is 34 years old and carries on like a teenager most of the time. Even when admitting his faults he has to wrap it up with a bunch of “fuck I’m great” sprinkled all over everything.
