One thing, leaving the frustration of seeing Loopy actually live up to her name and be completely Loopy I have to say I am really really happy for Angela Hill.

That was a really amazing performance and to even have the confidence to shoot on Loopy. Have to admire that.

Also I really feel for her and the amount of robberies against her, she deserved a decision finally go her way.

Also this will keep her fighting and off the commentary booth for the near future. Can you imagine BIsping, Angela Hill and DC on commentary.

If the visuals of the fighters was the criteria Hill dominates last couple rounds but that is not really the scoring criteria. Still In wont complain too much since I shouldn't have cashed my Buday bet.
Judges are unreliable though in this one, something to remember for the rest of the card.

Angela Hill seems like a sweetheart but why would you wish her voice on anyone?

I can't really even fault the decision, Angela landed some pretty damaging shots there and took Loopy down. Not a good look

That's exactly how I feel. She shouldn't have 10+ losses imo. The judges have literally damaged her legacy.

@noxx I think he’s gonna win just given the way these fights are going I’m not confident anymore

Whether or not it *should* be part of scoring criteria, optics obviously factor in. Getting backed down and out volumed by a fan favorite in a razor close fight is asking for trouble.

Yeah she clearly won rd 1 and Loopy clearly won 1st. 3rd is the question. Was no grappling success either way in that one.

Yeah that's for sure. I'm not surprised.

Edit: Although I will say I disagree she outvolumed Loopy in rd 3, but would have to rewatch to be sure.

The only word I can think of with the GM3-Khamzat fight is that Khamzat "socked" him. That thud. Just straight socked the **** out of him.
