You are delusional.  1, 2 and 5 pantoja. One was clearly pantoja, two was closer and harder to score but I give it to pantoja still and five was very competitive but no strike that erceg landed wobbled,  droped or made pantoja stop doing his thing. He ended the fight on top doing work. Shots landed are not damage if they don't do actual damage to the opponent.  

Round 3 I give to Erceg because of the cut and 4 was clearly his.

Round 3 is the round he cut Pantoja, which was one of like 4 hard elbows to the head. How is that possibly a Pantoja round?

1, 5 Pantoja and 3, 4 Erceg are the clear ones. Round 2 is the decider

@VicStrk 
there Is no way I can see round 2 going to Pantoja. 2, and 4 were clearly Ercegs. 3 and 5 I could see the argument, so I wouldn't be too upset with a 48-47 Pantoja, but personally I had them both for Steve. Round 5 was the kind of round where by the criteria, Steve should have won, but I can see why they would go for Pantoja because It isn't like he was particularly ahead in damage, just by a little bit, and while Pantoja didn't do anything on the ground, he still had good visuals compared to Steve, so while it wasn't effective grappling, I see why the round would go his way.

That was not a robbery. You need mental help of you think that was a robbery. It was a close fight. Go to bed.

@el_guapo 
control time doesn't score. I am a fan of Pantoja, probably my second favorite FLW rn, but he was out damaged in most of those rounds, and he wasn't working for subs or anything to go for the "effective grappling" angle.

Yeah some people don't know the difference between a close fight and a robbery, I had it for Steve but would admit it was a 50/50 fight.

@IDPC7 
I can 100% see how the fight Is scored for Pantoja with rounds 1, 3, 5. So I get your point, but the 49-46? Judge was preparing a robbery regardless and should not be judging.

I scored 
R1 Pantoja
R2 Erceg
R3 Pantoja
R4 Erceg
R5 Pantoja

I picked Erceg, he did well, but not enough. He is just 28 years old, I think we will see him again fighting for belt

Anyone who thinks Erceg won this fight, you dont understand fights. Erceg clearly won R4 and MAYBE R2.
