This is a holdover from boxing and I think it is ridiculous. There is nothing mythological about being THE CHAMP. The winner is the winner.

Bofbro - He lost the first three and the 5th was close.
I'm sure some people are blinded by hype.

To what "hype" are you referring? Rogan had Frankie losing the 3rd. Also is hailed as amazing and they were on his nuts the whole first 2.5 rounds. Frankie was the underdog. Rogan had Aldo winning the fight. So where was the hype for Frankie? When people concluded that Frankie won...or AT LEAST did better than 49-46, they must have formed their own opion, right?? Since the broadcasters had a differing one...right??

I wont go off the deep end saying he was robbed, but I thought he won 3,4 & 5 and I'd never really considered myself a Frankie fan.

I think it is hard to complain about judges when you read this and other threads and see the difference in opinions of who won. everybody sees the fights differently. I know sometimes a judge does really blow a decision but most of the time you have many different people with different opinions.

You didn't watch the fight I watched, TS. I think you were rooting for Frankie too much. I was rooting for him too, but I had it Aldo as the winner right when the final horn rang. Frankie needed to take it away and he never did it.

Mihow - luckily everyone who thought Frankie won were wrong

it's cool that we saw it differently but the doom and gloom about a fight that wasn't even that close is kind of silly an anooying

You can easily make an argument that Edgar won 4&5. Round 3 was close, though I'd say Aldo took it.
That does not make this a fight that "wasn't even close."

I think 1 and 2 were clearly Aldo, lots of damage. 3 was close and you could tell Aldo slowed down his attack quite a bit. 4 and 5 were frankie, not because he was inflicting mass amounts of damage but he was the busier fighter and landed more strikes than Aldo by quite a bit. I still think Aldo won but I could have seen it going either way.

Sorry, but that's never been a rule and no judge is under any obligation to follow it.

Karma for winning a title on BS dancing. Now Edgar is 1-1-3 in his last 5 title fights.

'make an argument for Edgar in 4/5' 'round 3 was close'

if those are your best arguments for the fight being close ... than yea the fight wasnt even close

You're right. The only thing we see in all of Edgar's previous fights is ALL of the judges suck! Or it's just Edgar. Phone Post

1 and 2 were Aldo

3rd was a tossup

4th was Edgar

I'd argue 5th was also tossup because Aldo threw some heavy hands including that jump off cage superman punch

It's disturbing to see how easily people are influenced by biased commentary. I like Frankie a lot and wanted him to win this fight, but he just didn't. He gave Aldo one of his most competitive fights, but there's no way that he won.

Watch it again. He said Aldo won the 3rd several times. As the fight was ending he hedged a bit on it.
