Media Steve Erceg Is WAY Better Than We Thought - Scorecards Show RD5 Was Decider

[Black9]

He made some shitty takedowns, but he's way better than i thought.

 

[taugrim]

He damaged Pantoja badly.

But Steve's fight IQ is just awful. It's one thing to get reversed on a TD early in the 5th round. But why would you go for another TD in the same round, esp if it might be the decisive round.

Frustrating to watch really.

 

[Preston broadus]

He's good but you can't fix stupid.

 

[markantony20]

Probably thought he needed to mix it up for more judges favour.

But yeah after a while it’s probably a good idea to stop.

 

[JustBleed69]

He made some shitty takedowns, but he's way better than i thought.

His Takedowns were great, Pantoja is just better on the mat.

 

[HolmeZy55]

But Steve's fight IQ is just awful

Just inexperience. He figured a TD might secure the round and panicked a little.

Future champ in Erceg imo.

 

[markantony20]

He's good but you can't fix stupid.

I disagree, fighters can mature with time and experience.

 

[FilipEmoFights]

I kinda thought he would win. It was almost like he felt bad about winning in Brazil or something. I can give him the young excuse being 31 and imagining how much pressure is in that position

 

[El Fernas]

Pantoja isnt great, i thought he lost to Moreno, this one wasnt impressive either, horrible striking but gets away on speed and power.

 

[JustOnce]

Meh I had Erceg.

 

[Contempt]

Yeah damn right. 48-47 on two cards. One brain fart in round five away from the big upset...

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

He should retire, he doesnt have the IQ for this

 

[Bravesfan33]

Jesus it was his 4th fight… guy will be fine. And he’s clearly top three.

 

[Luckyme]

Erceg over performed but shot himself in the foot at the same time by constantly shooting for ill advised takedowns when he was winning on the feet.

 

[Siver!]

He damaged Pantoja badly.

But Steve's fight IQ is just awful. It's one thing to get reversed on a TD early in the 5th round. But why would you go for another TD in the same round, esp if it might be the decisive round.

Give over.

Awful fight IQ?!

You mean he's a young guy who made a couple of mistakes against the elite of the elite, lol, what a ridiculous take.

 

[SOFA KING AWSM]

had erceg off damage.

 

[mangokush]

Steve Carell will be back better than ever

4 fights into his UFC career, he gave Pantoja one hell of a fight

Steve vs Royval next

 

[RockyLockridge]

I kinda thought he would win. It was almost like he felt bad about winning in Brazil or something. I can give him the young excuse being 31 and imagining how much pressure is in that position

I felt like he landed teh better shots and did more damage throughout the fight

Steve vs Royval next

Very excited about that.

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Erceg vs. Kape is the fight to make now

 

[FreedomCricket]

He won. Judges screwed it up.

Pantoja barely touched him. Steve busted Pantoja up badly.
