Yikes.

What is this "as a challenger" bullshit? The rules don't distinguish between champion and challenger.What's not fair is not definitively winning a title fight as a challenger and getting the benefit of the doubt.
Sean left no doubt as the title challenger.
OK I don't want to be a dick, you have a point, theres a bunch of locals here in South Africa who also support a rematch, me included, that'd be fkn badass.Now you've crossed a line, pal.
If I see red, you're done for.
I wake up to reality and everything is smeshed.
Should a straight right be worth as much as a jab? If you jab me 40 times but I hit you with 25 power shots is that still 1:1?Apples. Oranges.
Don't try too hard to be smart.
Completely different.
Winning by a number is factual.
Just like the numbers show Sean won big on strikes.
They don’t and they shouldn’t. It is against the rules by omission, meaning using it as part of your judgment violates the defined criteria. Giving a fighter an advantage due to something outside of the competition itself should be wholly rejected by anyone that wants any integrity in the sport.What is this "as a challenger" bullshit? The rules don't distinguish between champion and challenger.
straight rights should be worth 2 jabs, and 1 jab should be worth 1 jab. Therefore you won via 10 units of jabs. I welcome our AI overlordsShould a straight right be worth as much as a jab? If you jab me 40 times but I hit you with 25 power shots is that still 1:1?
the issue is that fighting is judged, and if we're just going by points via strikes, strickland would have won easily, 4 rounds to 1. Even if you score takedowns very highly, he would have won 3 rounds to 2.So if your sports team wins by a point it's not a real win?
The champion should be a man or woman that decisively, unquestionably, won a title fight.
Sean Strickland won the title decisively against Izzy. He left no doubt. It was a schooling from beginning to end.
The champion deserves the benefit of the doubt, such as Jones has gotten numerous times in his career, or GSP against Hendricks, etc.
This is extremely sad and Strickland's life will change dramatically without the belt.
Disagree. A win is a win no matter how close or wide. Factors outside the fight itself should have no bearing.
Be sure to bet the house, champ.You can't be serious.
Strickland is a mid-tier scrub, who was lucky he got to keep the belt warm for 4 months.
In no universe is Strickland "long-standing Champion" material.
Strickland excels at nothing. No left hook, no right across, no power, no submissions.
He plods forward behind the jab, jabbing & parrying, snapping out of front kick to win (or lose) boring decisions.
Du Plessis equals the same thing, except less-polished technique, and a little more power.
Don't worry, Du Plessis will get dethroned soon enough.
Both are merely "gatekeepers" gifted the benefit of a weak division.
