>I could see this being a split at this point.


Really?
On my cards it should be 20:18 right now.
I think the official scorecards are similarly clear for first 2 rounds.

RIP most of my draftkings lineups. How does Prachnio go from being the biggest bum in the UFC to taking huge shots like nothing.

Rountree deserved that loss. He had the other guy hurt real bad in the 2nd and decided to walk backwards. Seriously

@Heinrich2

Trust me I wanted Rountree to win, but Marcin was just throwing too many shots. Rountree was throwing 1 shot for every 3 that Marcin threw.

Roundtree is a great example of one of those guys who can beat or lose to anyone on any given night.  Seems to have so many physical advantages but just can't get over that mental block often times.

Very cool robbery, judges. Thank you very much for busting my parlay, very cool and good. I sure hate being right and making money. I much prefer to be right and lose money anyways because fights are being held for a stable of blind dogs instead of human beings who know how to judge a fight! ****!

I think the main thing was that Rountree had a tough weight cut and gassed after the first. Takes power from his shots and makes him wait for Marcin to come to him.
