I feel like it could easily be 2-1 Reyes right now, but this is where it gets interesting.

[Halohal 498]

Enjoying the straight up boxing

[LonghornJudas 1097]

Reyes starting to fade a little. Damn good fight though.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Whoever wins this last round is gonna win the fight, and jones is clearly fresher. Regardless of how this ends, they might need to run this back

Jon looks like he could go 5 more rounds

[SameSame 1704]

I give it to Reyes

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I feel like Reyes needed to do a little more that round, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they gave him a split decision. They could easily give the first 3 rds to Reyes

[SameSame 1704]

Damn good fight 

[TexArcher 37767]

I had it 3-2 Reyes.

Doubt they'll give it to him, but that was a hell of an impressive performance.

[ss13 1832]

One 49-46 for JBJ. 

[LonghornJudas 1097]

I gave it to Reyes as well, but there's no way they're taking it away from Jones.

[tx 3 putt 76870]

It was Reyes by a hair 

[TexArcher 37767]

Okay, the judge who had that 49-46 needs to be taken out back and shot.

You're gonna tell me Reyes only won one round?  

[Junior Miller 1502]

49-46?

Lulz, this is getting as corrupt and bad as boxing. Santos beat Jones 3-2 and tonight Reyes won the first 3 pretty clearly and won 3-2. 

Just sucks NHL hockey is the closest thing in sports to a fair and even match. Combat sports are as corrupt as figure skating. It's comical at this point. 

[Halohal 498]

Robbed

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I think it was 2-2 heading into that last round, and jones won the last round. I don’t have a problem with the decision, but still a damn good fight.

[Don Hornleone 530]

I had Reyes winning by an inch. It was close though. He needs better cardio. 49-46 judge needs their bank account looked into.

[Junior Miller 1502]

I'm starting to hate watching Jones fights for the corruption as well as he knows he's getting the benefit of a corrupt system so he only really tries to fight half way. He doesn't go out to win just survive and let the corrupt system hand him another one. 

Unless he moves up and fights Stipe or Ngannou this is probably the last Jones fight I watch. I'd be royally pissed if I ever paid money for one of his fights. 

[Eastwood 4394]

I had it 3-2. I would say that Reyes lost it in the last minute of the last round, but it's hard to overcome the stupidity of 49-46.

That judge should be forced to explain how he came to that conclusion. Reyes CLEARLY won rounds 1 and 3.

It's independent retarded boxing judges every fight mandated by the sanctioning bodies in each state. Nothing to do with UFC.

But please, don't watch anymore JBJ. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Lol stfu Cruz. “A take down is a take down” 

no the fuck it isn’t. If a guy pops right back up and there was no damage, that shouldn’t count for shit.

This.

I'm trying to figure out how anyone has it 48-47 for JBJ.  Which of the first three rounds are you giving him?

Now which TWO of the first three are you giving him for a 49-46?

[JohnnyRage 1617]

You're not going to take away the belt of a grand champion losing the final two rounds. It is what it is.

 

I was messing with streams during that first round, but the numbers looked obvious.

Yeah it counts as a takedown with 0 seconds of control. Octagon control 90% control for Bones. 

I think it should be like 33 judges instead of 3. More 10-8 rounds for complete domination. Judges that understand MMA instead of pillow hug.

And I can live with that.  If a judge gave JBJ one of the first three rounds on the benefit of the doubt because he's a legend, okay, so be it.

But who in their right mind was actually sitting there after Rd 3 with Jones AHEAD in that fight?  There's no fucking way.  My mom would've gotten that one right and she's never seen an MMA match in her life.

Go back and watch the fight, the numbers are the numbers, but don't explain the octagon control, variation of strikes, take downs, damage, aggression, ect...

I might be getting rounds 2 and 3 mixed up, but one of the first 3 rounds was close enough that I’m not surprised they gave it to jones. 4 and 5 were pretty dominant though. It is what it is. I don’t know how anyone can say Reyes got flat out robbed, but 49-46 judge should be judging his last UFC card. This shit is too important to guys that have laid it all on the line for a rouge judge to pull some BS like that.

It's dudes watching their first few mma fights judging, blame Texas department of licensing and regulation.

It would be best to just pay off the commissions and have an independent judging and officiating company that rolls to all UFC fights. I'm sure the UFC would prefer that but these boxing commissions want to be involved.

Yeah, the UFC can do nothing except bitch about it. They can't control what dumbass judges and officials the commissions employ. 

Shit the rules aren't even adopted the same everywhere

Round 1 Jon got outstruck on numbers but got the best blow in with the big head kick. Round 3 Reyes was already gassed.

[Junior Miller 1502]

Is Shevschenko too small to fight Amanda Nuñes? Because that's the only women's fight that would be of interest other than the title fight next month.

There is no fucking chance anyone gave round 1 to jones. No chance. If anything, that’s the only round rouge judge gave to Reyes. But I’d be curious to see his score card.

Hate this shit so much. Why does a takedown matter if you do no damage? This is a fight. If you take somebody down in a fight and they get up immediately, you're still in the fuckin same fight. Now if I land somebelbows, or if I slam the fuck out of somebody and hurt them, that's different. But a takedown with nothing after is pointless.

Even though it’s boring as shit, I’ll give you a little more credit if you’re holding them down and they can’t get up (even if you don’t really do any damage). But when they literally pop right back up like Reyes was doing tonight, that shouldn’t count for anything. If anything, it should count against the guy who attempted the takedown.

But were also talking about king decision Dominick Cruz, so he’s always going to play the angle of getting to a decision with no damage lol.

That was a good time, glad I went 

[ss13 1832]

From a guy on another site... 

Quote

Media scores are in. 14 of 20 had it for Reyes. Ok so I'm not crazy. Thought it was a close fight although clearly leaning toward Reyes.
 

http://www.mmadecisions.com/decision/10877/Jon-Jones-vs-Dominick-Reyes

All 20 had it 3-2 for either fighter. So the guy who scored it 4-1 for Jones should lose his job. He has only ever judged 10 MMA events and had multiple controversial scores this evening.

Dana White had it 3-2 Reyes according to the post fight conference.

 

[ss13 1832]

Judges’ cards are in that link too, Soliz only gave R1 to Reyes. 

[Scraps 13561]

3-2 Reyes but whatever

[ss13 1832]

$50K each for the cop & the corner man for FON. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Dana also said in the post fight presser that he had Reyes 3-2. Wouldn’t be surprised if they run that one back. Sucks for Reyes though because now Jones has probably mentally downloaded all his shit.

Jones doesn't give rematches to close fights.

5 years later after Gus started his downturn? Fun. Should have been immediate.

[The Earl of Texas 3132]

Was on hand last night, Reyes put together as good a performance as posible. Place went crazy for him.

And while I agree the scoring could’ve just as soon gone his way, I think you have to definitively beat the Champ, not just edge him, if you’re gonna win on scorecards. Shitty, but I think that’s how the judges look at it.

 

[Longhorn94 2448]

I had it 3-2, Reyes. I don't mind the decision as the champ should get the nod unless it was taken from him. But 4-1 is laughable. And if you are going to give credit for takedown, then give credit for an escape.

Also Reyes wasn't moving backwards or avoiding the fight. He was moving side to side which is what you are supposed to do. Jones was not initiating anymore than Reyes. 

Good fight. We should definitely run that one back.
