Al iaquinta vs jorge masvidal mma decisions12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The first 3 minutes of R2 are very much a back-and-forth affair with neither guy taking control, but the last two minutes of the round is all Masvidal advancing and Raging Al backing up. I mean, it's not even close when you see how much more time Masvidal spent moving forward than Iaquinta in that round. Masvidal actually moved forward a lot more than Iaquinta did in R2, as well as winning the striking exchanges. I've watched Masvidal/Iaquinta 3 times now (because controversy aside, it's a very fun fight which deserves at least one rewatch - and also because "just letting it go because you can't change anything" is for p-ssies) and each time I find it more and more mysterious that anyone gave Iaquinta R2, let alone two professional judges Coincidence? I'll let you be the judge, but if you really believe ancient Egyptians built those pyramids without help from aliens I don't think there's any point in us continuing this line of conversation and I shall be forced to say good day sir. And Masvidal out-struck Raging Al by 30% in R3 (Al's 26 plus 8 more). your aggression probably doesn't fall into the category of effective for anything except getting punched in the face a bunch more times.ī.) Raging Al was only really significantly more aggressive than Masvidal for the last 90 seconds of R3 (yeah, I watched it twice). If you're charging forward and swiping your fist through the air in wide arcs while your opponent circles out cracking you repeatedly with jabs and hooks. As in: Aggressiveness in and of itself doesn't mean jack. Because what other "explanation" could there be? But where the judges swerved off the Path of Righteousness and into the Pit of Despair is the " as they should have" bit.ġ.) The key word above is "effective". Like you say, " obviously the control of the ring and effective aggressiveness played into the decision". ![]()
