Great Fight - Interesting Thread Here
Ok, after reading this thread I was able to find the fight and watch it all. Bottom line here is Jens got his a@@ handed to him for 5 rounds. Faber was damn fast and I think his standup in the first 90 seconds threw Pulver for a loop.
Pulver did not think Faber would be that fast on his feet. This was a 25 minute beat down with a few sprinkles of uppercut by Jens. Again, 50 - 45 was the right score.
As for this thread, it sounded like Jens was doing ok and it's funny how fans of one fighter actually see a fight. As for the shots to the back of the head in the second round, Faber was warned by the ref as he was walking back to his corner.
As for the stupid Mir comments on this thread - I actually agreed with his commentating. Faber has never looked this good and never showed standup like this. He actually had better standup than Jens - who knew. I think at one point at the end of the 3rd round Mir stated how each round was great and somewhat close, however you score each round on it's own and that Faber won each. So it can be a competitive and close fight in watching it, but scoring it was simple: 50 - 45 and no way around that.
The fact that Faber didn't coast in round 5 says something about that kid. Damn, he is in shape and will throw all day long.
In the end, this was a great fight and both fighters are what this sport needs. I think both of them earned a ton of respect tonight regardless of who you are a fan of. However, fanboys for anything will always see things there own way and at times refuse to see or hear the truth.
