LOL typical, Derek Cleary the most corrupt judge in the bussiness making sure an unlikely split decision bet hits. Full on mafia connections no doubt.

Garry wanted to get that Wonderboy fight before. I say, give him that fight. I personally don't think he'll win that though

Garry is as basic as it gets. Rogan and Bisping are being told to gas him up on commentary and it’s working on ******* casuals.. Rogan legit said “wow wouldn’t a fight with Leon Edwards be great..” like Dana didn’t feed him that line through a earpiece

Hey hey hey easy bro... don't call Derek Clearly the most corrupt judge in the industry. Sal, Eric, Chris and Ron will have a bone to pick with you.

Two 30-27 are really stupid scorecards, but Neal can only blame himself: he won the first round with the heavy shots, but Garry lands really good knee to head and kick to the body (despite be in a runawaking pace). Neal should have done more especially in the last round.

Colby vs Garry would be fun but has a 0% chance of happening

Calling garry basic is wild lmao.

Regardless of the decision, or your take on him as a person, his striking is creative and very calculated. That is no ordinary fighter.

You're mentioning all the incompetent though. I don't remember the details I think it was Ray Luongo among others who talked about how Derek makes the circuit of meet and greet in gym with fighters buddying up to people behind the scene and generally acting really suspicious. And he's like the guy that is most often causing a split out of all.
So while there's a lot of incompetent judges that guy is straight up shady.
