So Rican does than mean using this same logic JMM won the fight over Pac in their last fight? I think so ..............
I thought JMM won the fight with Pac, because I scored 7 rounds for him. I've never understood the whole idea that you have to win by a large margin in order to dethrone the champion. All fights are scored round by round, the idea that the champion wouldn't actually have to win more rounds to retain his title is silly.
Agreed. I can see if a round is close and you award that to the champion but if the rounds are close, you can't just award that to the champion. There weren't a whole lot of close rounds in that fight imo, the second was probably one of the closer rounds. I will have to watch it again to score it.
