Peterson vs Garcia - Thoughts

[corvette]

first off, im somebody who hates the term running but the first 4 rounds, peterson was basically running. running is when you have only defense and no offense. peterson for the most part did absolutely nothing offensively at the beginning of the fight.

this was one of those fights that peterson did better, but when you go round by round, garcia probably won. i had him winning the fight 115-113. peterson gave away rounds more than garcia won them. so garcia eeked out rounds because of the complete lack of offense of peterson while peterson won rounds by clearly beating up garcia. i think the decision was fine but peterson did control the fight more. thats the problem with round by round scoring, it doesnt take into effect who did better, it only takes into effect who won the most rounds.

Peterson was landing while he was moving...no sense lying.

I'm lying so that I can argue with you
