Hocky Balboa 943 Member Since: 12/23/08 Posts: 12124	and I can totally understand how people would think that Frankie won the fight. This is coming from someone who made a thread in rebuttal of the "Frankie Won 3-2" thread and thought that Aldo won the fight. Round 3 was EXTREMELY close and hard to call.

I'm sorry but Frankie wouldn't stand a chance against GSP. He's way too small, and GSP's jab would give him fits imo. You have ignored this user.

Res ispa loquitur 566 Member Since: 7/26/12 Posts: 5163	Agreed OP. the third round was bordering on too close to call for me. I thought the decision would have been split and closer given the typical nature of judging. Alas, I usually wrong. I good at calling KOs though. Not that down pat. You have ignored this user.

Thats exactly what I thought. Without that sick front kick the round was all Frankie, but close fights are close. You have ignored this user.

Was making a joke. I obviously don't think he'd do too well against GSP :)

And he'd definitely run all over Cole Escovedo.

It's just that 6 of his last 7 fights have been very close.

Yup... I am loving your use of GIFs, by the way.

You are almost coming into Kevin McAllister territory.

He will always be the King though.

Stuckey Member Since: 8/30/11 Posts: 119	Totally correct OP. I gave Aldo a very close edge in round 3, and thus the fight. But that doesn't mean it's totally unreasonable to give Edgar round 3. And if you gave him 4&5 as well, you can make the argument he won the fight. And yet this forum is full of guys screaming that it's totally idiotic to suggest this was anything but clear cut domination from Aldo. You have ignored this user.

TheFlood58 Member Since: 8/8/12 Posts: 246	I 2nd this motion it's one of those things where you have to ask did Frankie do enough to TAKE the title. Either way the fight went people would have been at each other's throats it happens every Frankie fight. They are all really close and no matter which way they go someone is talking shit and someone is yelling robbery. You have ignored this user.

domination? No, but I think it was a pretty clear cut win for Aldo.

Well, obviously based on the scores from the judges yes. My point being that I would have had no problem with Edgar getting a decision based on winning a very close round 3.

Aldo fans would be screaming bloody murder but I really do think it was that close.

Leck Brosnar 7 Member Since: 1/11/12 Posts: 1433	I think Aldo deserved the win easily. Frankie did good for the last few rounds but come on, this is what's wrong with stupid boxing scoring. That fight should never be even close to even on the scorecards. You have ignored this user.
