Robert Whittaker Explains Why Romero Lost

[Dirge]

Not sure what any of that has to do with Romero Whittaker. But thanks?

Romero lost the first fight against Whittaker and "nearly" won the second fight. Then he went and lost to a guy a lot of people thought he would flatline.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Lots of "adults" in here acting like children

 

[Sinthesized]

No you are not alone in it. Opinions were mixed. However media scores are released right after the fights before the accurate fight stats are released. Most of the media had it scored a draw, some for Whittaker, some for Romero. I agree that it was a close fight however to be the champ you have to beat the champ and Romero didn't do enough in either fight.

Most did NOT have it a draw. Don't be dishonest brotha

 

[Timurd123]

Meh maybe.

But Costa is just better.

He definitely was better, was focused and brought it to Yoel, who did clown like an idiot way too much, he for some reason thought he was winning that fight

No one ever accused him of being smart

 

[cauti0n]

He lost because MMA judging is bullshit.

Moving forward should not be the defining factor of who wins.

 

[IIIIIIII]

Meh maybe.

But Costa is just better.

Yes, Costa is better. It's almost like gay mma fans want to root for Romero, because they have a hard-on for him.

 

[GrayArea]

Romero won rounds 2 and 3.

Shit judges.

Nah you’re just salty because you thought Costa was a hypejob and now he’s the official NattyGoat

Stay mad

yoel missed weight and even if he did get the nod from the judges he wouldnt have won the belt

Not the argument. I said he won the fight. Next.

I'm not "salty" but thanks for showing me the kind of person you are.

 

[DrTrouble]

Not the argument. I said he won the fight. Next.

So is winning a fight a fact or an opinion?

Nate Diaz is undefeated according to him

 

[Gambit MMA]

romero will always be limited in a way because he can barely do a 15 minute fight without gassing, he has to pace himself. you'll never be champ, and if u do get the belt u wont be champ for long with piss poor cardio like that. gotta be able to compete every round of the fight and stay active, not take rounds off and expect to explode and finish the fight when the time comes

 

[asdf122345]

He’s right. Romero thought he could lay back and lose two rounds and then finish a gassed costa in the third.

He just didn’t expect Costa to have an elite chin

Once he realize Costa had a iron chin and good pressure, he knew that he wasn't going to win.

*Costa was maybe marginally better in a fight that could have went either way with a fuckin what 14 year age difference?

16?

 

[Ruke Doufus]

*Costa was maybe marginally better in a fight that could have went either way with a fuckin what 14 year age difference?

What the fuck does age have to do with it?

 

[0verlord]

Of course he said that. He doesn't wanna fight Romero again. I wouldn't either though

He already permanently damaged Yoel's eye in their 2nd fight. He doesn't want to damage the other eye now.

 

[DontForgetMe]

According to statistics, Romero landed more significant strikes and more total strikes, but certainly judges could not process detailed statistics by their brains without technical support.

2 of 3 sherdog judges had it for Romero. I did too, but no cry of robbery. Close fight.

 

[Sansnom]

Meh maybe.

But Costa is just better.

Lol what a retard.

Romero is the superior fighter in every way. He was just facing a young and hungry contender. Still believe he wins that fight

Dude is 42

 

[hisandherpes]

Not the argument. I said he won the fight. Next.

i won

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

He's got a good point.

I'm frustrated with Yoel at this point. He's too nonchalant. He never puts in the effort to string together 5 great minutes at least even though he's got all the skill, athleticism and talent in the world. Pretty disappointing.
