Why Chito never have any marks on his face? what kind of tissue he has? He gets hit but don't bruise and bleed.

There's always a good chance I change my mind on a second watch but to me rd 2 and 3 were clear. Chito won rd3 a lot more dominantly than Munhoz did the 2nd but the rules don't express that in any meaningful way if you don't take it all the way to a 10-8 which wasn't warranted still.
So the swing round becomes the first which I think Vera won. So the right guy wins at the end of the day but it's the ongoing worry of the competency of the judges.

The main thing that matters is that the right person won and I believe everyone agrees the right fighter won.

Yes as far as I know they have monitors. Whether they use them or not I have no idea. Commentators have mentioned on many occasions watching judges look anywhere but at the fight during live bouts. In my opinion they shouldn't even be sitting in the arena as they can be influenced too easily by the crowd that way.

I think we have the technology to make them sit somewhere where they wont be influenced by anyone and have no choice but to watch it on a monitor.

Whenever a fight is close, the one they try to push obviously wins. 
If Sterling fails to finish and the fight is close it is obvious who is going to win, you know Suga vs. Chito 2 "yeah, real funny".
I was only following the event on this site and seeing various highlights because I am very busy with work and similar things. 
I want to see Weili-Lemos fight because it's probably an exciting fight and it ends before the scorecards, but at this time I can still do something more productive than watch TV. I don't want to waste my time watching the kind of circus that became the UFC.
