20-18 Whitaker. But holy **** commentators, leg kicks only matter if they’re causing visible damage to the movement.

20-18 Whittaker. Cannonier is doing just enough to keep it competitive with the leg kicks but he has nothing else for him.

Robert is being very intelligent frustrating the opponent and scoring points on the card without taking many risks.End of second ...in front ...I believe.

Whittaker is such an inactive fighter imo in a lot of fights he’s very passive other than a jab. He’s making cannonier look like he doesn’t belong near the top right now

Some of y'all really show your ass when a technical fighter goes to work. It's like you don't even know what you're seeing.

Cannonier's best win is agaianst an over-the-hill Anderson Silva.  Whittaker defeated Yoel Romero TWICE!

If Whitaker could just win these fights without getting wobbled. He recovers quick and looks great, but there's like one scare per fight.
