It's half the reason I avoid live Tap chat now. It's absolutely infested with salty narcissists who scream 'Robbery' whenever they lose a bet and/or their read was ****. The whole thing is merry-go-round of tediousness.

R2: Partial high kick land Viera. Short 1-2 landed by viera. Two meaningless leg kicks landed by Holm, ate a big right counter straight going for a third from Viera. Clinch initiation bu Holm, gets hip tossed by Viera. Holm expends big energy getting to her feet, eats three shots on the way up.Two knees on the fence by Viera. Failed TD attempt by Holm, ends up in standing gilly.Transitions to single leg, ends up in deep standing RNC, pseudo-taps. Escapes turns back to cage grinding, lands a few meaningless thigh shots, attempts upward elbows which do nothing. More big energy expenditure from Holm for no result, her grappling was therefore not effective.10-9 Viera.
R3: Big straight left/right combo from viera lands followed by a straight that backs Holm up. Big low kick from Viera buckles Holm's leg. Holm marches forward slinging a meth spaz combo, lands nothing, looks ridiculous. Visibly the more tired fighter at this point. Pushes Viera back for more gash-sniffing and cage grinding because she's getting merked in space. She lands another couple of useless do-nothing thigh strikes here. Fight goes back to space. Soft low kick/push kick from Holm. Body shot from Viera. Viera blocks high kick attempt. Push kick from Holm. Big right hand after a short fake from Viera lands. Holme bumrushes, eats a left then right for her trouble, again pushes Viera to the fence. Two big knees from Viera on the fence. Holm lands more pitter-patter ******** to the thigh.Dirty boxing from Holm, does nothing. Viera pushes her off, lands a big short left that makes Holm retreat.Another big left from Viera on the fence. Biggest shot of the round. Again, holly pushes her to fence, spams useless knees. 10-9 Viera.
R4: Solid straight right lands for Viera. Soft low kick for Holm.Another out-of-cadence/distance meth spam bumrush from Holm, she lands nothing, eats a solid check hook. Low kick from Viera. Partil high from face grazes for holm. Solid right hand from Viera. Hard low kick from Viera. Another absurd meth spam from Holm (how was sheman ever a decorated boxer?) gets her another right to the face. Big body shot from Viera. Solid two shot elliptical combination from Viera. Holm tries to clinch, gets uppercutted. Two pointless low-effort knee stomp attemps from Holm. Soft body kick lands on Viera on the way up. Push kick from Holm knocks Viera down, it's an off-balance thing, not a damage thing.A few more do-nothing exchanges, straight left lands for Viera. Big left for Viera. A few incredibly soft kicks land for Holm. Another landless meth-spaz for Holm. Ends with a clinch. 10-9 Viera. That wasn't a knockdown for Holm.
R5: High kick lands for Viera, Holm shoots. Spinning elbow partially lands for Viera, then two solid short straights. Clinch. Absurdly soft push kick from Holm. Another clinch. Counter right from Viera. Clinch from Holm, pushes Viera to the fence and lands a knee. Break, soft landed from Viera on it. Front face from Holm lands, doesn't register much from Viera. Another front face from Holm, softer this time. Big uppercut from Viera. Push kick from Holm. Single leg from Holm, again pushes Viera to to the fence. Soft dirty boxing from Holm. hot from Viera, stuffed. Holm again dirty boxing on the fence. 10-9 Holm.
At most, you could give Holm 2 rounds. The only clear round she won was the 5th. And that would be ridiculously generous, and would require you to give her a round in which she ate huge shots because she's got a push-kick knockdown which wasn't caused by damage.
I have spoken. If you scored it for Holm you're ********, and you don't know how to apply the criteria. Pro tip: Landing more doesn't equal a win, cage-pressing doesn't equal a win, and both of those things combined don't equal a win. That's not how it works.
You're all dumb as ****.

Round 4, the most dominant round yet for Vieira. Holm has increasing problems to even land anything of note unless she runs straight in with flailing arms. Whenever she does, Vieira calmly socks her in the face. When she doesn't rush in, Vieira calmly socks her in the face anyhow. At one point Holm lands a push kick that catches Vieira a bit off balance and make her lose her footing. It was a decent kick, enough to be counted as a significant strike, but absolutely shouldn't count as a knockdown.
Vieira 39-37. I can see why Baldric lost his **** lol, I've got 1 round left and Vieira already won it, with the first round that I gave to Holm being the most contentious one so far and one I'd say you could score either way.

48-47 Vieira final score.
Maybe you could find another round for Holm in there but I consider both of the rounds I gave her up for grab whereas the 3 I gave for Vieira were pretty clear, either way calling this fight a robbery is ********.
I regret being at work if Vieira really was sitting at good +money live as the fight was closing, would have bet her for sure.
Edit: Looking at the scorecards Michael Bell and Derek Cleary scored the fight exactly as I did round for round. D'Amato gave Holm the third as well. So I think the judges were very generous toward Holm overall.

But then again sounds from comments like I would've won money on a Vieira livebet, I'm quite happy to take a decent dog in a fight where I don't know what the judges are seeing.

Go ahead. Make an observations-based case for Holm winning that fight. I guarantee it won't make sense and it will be based on incorrect assumptions about how MMA scoring is practically applied.
And no, I don't have any skin in the game. That's probably why I can score fights objectively. I neither picked, nor bet, Holm vs Viera. Gambling on MMA is one of the most monkey-brained, low-rent strategies of making money in existence--and betting on the odds-on favourite in WMMA specifically is worse by several degrees again. Whenever I do gamble on it, it's for fun, not wealth-creation.
It's not about being validated. It's about pointing out how people like you are utterly ********, petulant children. The reason you think Holm won isn't because she did, or because there's even a case to be made for her winning. It's because you lost money betting on her, and you are a degenerate gambler and narcissist who screams 'Robbery' as a means of absolving yourself of any personal culpability, and sparing your ego, because you failed. Miserably.
Newsflash: You're dumb as ****, do not understand how MMA is scored, and your play was **** from the jump. And because you're incapable of any introspection (again, being a narcissist) you will continue to make **** and ******** plays because you are both ****, and ********. And that is what **** and ******** people do.
