I did give the first three to Aldo as well as the last one. I'm glad Joe's bias commentating didn't get into too many ears. From what I could see Frankie was missing a lot and Aldo was landing some hard shots in return.
If you want to create that interesting logic, let me create my own. A fresh Gray Maynard is the uncrowned lightweight champion. He consistently smashes Edgar until he gets exhausted from beating him up. :bye01:
Seriously, the uncrowned talk needs to stop.
I want to see Edgar in some three round fights. See how well he does when he doesn't have 25 minutes to out last his opponent.
I was trying to be unbiased but I'm pretty sure on the re-watch I'll score it the same.
I'll make sure to mute the sound so I don't vomit.
The only time I can think of a worse performance on commentary was Rory - Condit 1 where punches to the shoulder were met with "HUGE RIGHT HAND BY RORY" while Condit busted him the hell up on the feet to almost nothing.
No rematches yet. Frankie shouldn't get an immediate rematch after losing 3 straight fights. Make him win some three rounders, if he can anymore against the elite that is. It seems like guys like Maynard and Aldo are better fighters, it's just Edgar is so tough and durable, and his conditioning is excellent. He gets better as the fight goes on while other guys naturally start to slow down. He's made for 5 round fights, but sometimes that isn't enough.
I agree that Rogan was bias, though not because he was trying to trick anyone, but rather because he's a fan and acts like one. He honed in on the fighter he wanted to win and didn't notice anything the other guy was throwing. His excitement is the greatest and worst thing about his commentary.
I just felt like I had triple de ja vu with the Rogan and Edgar post fight interview.
Rogan: How did you think the fight went and what are your thoughts about the decision. I thought the fourth and fifth rounds went to you, but the third was up in the air.
Frankie: You know I fought a great fight, Jose is a great champion. But I keep finding myself in this situation...haha!
rogan also said he can't see that well from broadcasting both, he said it's way better for him when he is watching it on the tv, that said aldo lost 4 and 5 for sure and 3 i thought was 10-10 but they never score those so edgar again
Aldo won round 5 easily. He landed two huge punches on Edgar with the superman punch and a big right hand while Edgar did nothing but small leg kicks...all of those "comboes" didn't land, and meanwhile Aldo was landing a shit ton of jabs and left hooks while moving backwards that Goldie of all people had to point out while Rogan was completely no selling it.
Round 5 was closer than rounds 1 and 2 but there's no reason any objective person should've scored it for Edgar.
You have to "beat" the champion apparently. Not sure what it refers to, but seeing as everyone else throws it out I'll just put leave it there.
