Rewatch Jon Jones vs Dominick Reyes

[Luffy]

Close fight, but I really see Jones winning that one. Reyes fought like a ***** in the 5th round. You can't defeat the champion like that.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Yeah.

Who you got next month? Adesanya or Romero? Should be a banger of a fight.

It's been a while since I watched that fight
I had Reyes winning the first 3 rounds with Jones winning the final 2 rounds

Are we still doing this? Jones got an early Christmas gift from the judges. He lost. Close rounds don’t go to the champ, that’s not a rule

You seem to miss the OP's point. Reyes lost the "Championship" rounds. Those are worth extra bonus points apparently.

 

[Kwic]

Yeah, Reyes screwed himself up in that 5th round.

 

[Morris88]

Jones won 3 4 and 5

Reyes won the first 3 rounds, and Jon needed two 10-8 rounds to win and didn't even get one in the last 2 rounds.

Reyes won, but who gives a fuck that is behind us now.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I scored it 48-47 Reyes. But the only thing that matters is the official decision. Even if people know it’s wrong. And that was more than 4 years ago.

Moving on..

I took the time to watch this one again paying very close attention. It's the second time I rewatched this fight since watching it live. First watch live I thought Reyes won. The time I think Reyes took the first 3 rounds and Jon the last 2. I thought it was pretty clear, Reyes was far more active and landed more every round (1-3). I can't understand how the judges gave Jon some of those rounds. I really think the judges were off on this fight, two judges gave Jon round 2 which was IMO Reyes best round. He threw 30 more strikes and landed far more.

The scoring was so bad that they use that fight as an example to train judges

Little late to the party for this thread, but I'm sure we're in for a brand new and nuanced take

Close fight, but I really see Jones winning that one.

Interesting. Now is this based on how fights are  actually scored, or are we going by some brand new criteria that you've come up wit-

Reyes fought like a ***** in the 5th round. You can't defeat the champion like that.

- well, there it is. Cool, thanks for chiming in.

I just rewatched Reyes vs Cannonier. Dom looked very impressive in that fight.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Heyes is a legend and a GOAT

 

[Human Bass]

Clear 3-2 for Reyes

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Easy fight to score 1, 2, 3 for Reyes and no 10-8 rounds.

 

[Jibsta69]

Had it 3-2 Jones.
Anytime somebody surprises and does better then expected it, it tends to make you bias and subconsciously score it for them cause it what you want. It’s the same with the first Gus fight. Close but Jones realistically edged it out.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Yeah, Reyes definitely won this.
