Maynard's reaction time to strikes is pretty much nonexistent (as in, he doesn't react at all.) He seemingly just stares at guys as they hit him in the face.

Gray needs to counter fast when he catches the kicks. He's letting Hall of the hook.

You have to give round 2 to hall considering he may be the only one who actually landed a strike. That flopping looks bad though.

Well it is a weird fight but Hall landing more strikes both rounds. Have to go hall up 20-18.

Hall is odd, but Maynard has to find away to land some strikes. Hall is landing and he's not running either. I disagree with so many flops he makes that have no chance but he does get the leg off and on with it. Maynard get frustrated and then acts like it's not his fault and acts like Hall is running from him and he's not. He's gotta put his big boy pants on.

30-27 Hall

That fight was ****.  Maynard should retire.  He had many chances to close the distance and finish Hall.

No idea who they give this to, it could go either way.

Gray didn't want to throw much and Hall failed so many sub and pull guard attempts.

Hall was by far the more active and landed more strike but because of the flopping I don't know what the judges will do.

Both fighters sucked that fight, Hall to many dives that had no chance and Maynard acting like Hall was running or something because he couldn't land. Could be all kinds of scores on this. I think 29-28 Hall or maybe a 28-28 draw.
