Pantoja is breathing out through his nose in the corner during the 1 minute break. So I doubt he's gassing

3-0 or 2-1. I was working tonight so I don't know if the judges have wrestling shoes on. How has the judging been tonight? Damage or wrestling top criterion tonight, anyone been keeping track?

The corner saying they think Royval won round 3 ? Am I sleeping here ? I saw him winning it.

Judges have made good decisions so far. So let's hope they do that again if this fight goes the full 5 rounds

Even if they thought he won it they might just be trying to motivate him to push harder.

I truly hate when commentary say "that's tight" when the sub isn't locked in. Joe, DC and Cruz (when he's on commentary) constantly do that

Royval is one of those guys that wont die. He's got unending energy and never stops fighting. His skills are not really there though.
Pantoja is just better in every aspect. Maybe except cardio, but he has enough cardio for 5 rounds so it doesn't matter.
