Goldie was crazy to say that
Frankie definitely would have won if it was a Judo Match
But he didn't do shit when he got Ben down, now did he.
My Turn
When Goldie said it was a 10 point round scoring system, did you not believe him?
How you going to argue when you aren't even scoring the fight?
I have watched a million fights in my life and don't have to write shit down to know who won a fight. It was close but to get taken down over and over again in a sport where this seems to be the biggest part of scoring and tonight it doesn't count for anything is comical. Henderson might have landed ten punches tonight and almost every kick was caught. eVery other night when u catch a kick it means the kick meant nothing. Tonight tho for some reason it meant damage :0002 Here this just in. I guess im not the only one who thinks Frankie won. Henderson gets picked apart in round to but because he landed an up kick u monkeys give him the round. Sorry it doesn't work that way.
