Possibly a 10-9 for Lentz based off the last couple of minutes. Holtzman might need a finish.

Wow, as a fan, I feel robbed of 17 minutes of my life just like Holtzman feels robbed of an opportunity to actually fight. Ugh

Lentz took a pretty bad beating from Holtzman in round three but he may still have ground out a decision.

I had that 29-28 Holtzman myself. 29-28 Lentz isn't bad. Honestly that was a pretty fun stand-up fight from two guys who have evolved from their stalemated-grappling roots.

We should just change the judging criteria for wrestling matches. 
Lentz face does not look like he just won a fight

They should judge a fight like that by who feels less ****** in the morning.

Not surprised that Lentz got tried while wrestling with Holtzman. I’ve grappled with guys that are bigger than me and even if your winning it’s incredibly tiring trying to keep them down because of how strong they are.
