Well Viana isn't giving me great confidence so far. Standing pretty still in there on exchanges, while Cifers is at least moving around a bit and pressuring Viana.

Interesting. Felt like Viana was better but I bet at least 2 of the 3 cageside idiots give it to Cifers for the knockdown.

I thought Viana was doing better on the feet that round, being more aggressive. Got a bit of a knockdown then taken down. But I thought she did better from the bottom. I'd score it 10-9 Viana, but i'm sure some wouldn't.

Horse **** decision. We're in for a rough night of judging boys. Blind Freddy could see Viana took that fight.

I though Viana clearly won but with that said, it was a terrible game plan/assumption that North American judges understand that you can do More off your back that laying down on top.
