Till vs Whittaker Discussion

[tnel00]

3-2 whittaker. Good fight though

[sooby]

would say 3-2 bobby

that elbow was nasty tho

[Jameson11]

49-46 or 48-47 Whittaker

How do you give round 5 to Till?

[Swept]

Till has the chest of a 13 year old boy.

Bobby's a great fighter but he has too many glaring holes in his game to ever reign as champ again

keeps his hands too low

throws that looping overhand way too often

overall too small (although obviously didn't matter against Romero, but he's still undersized IMO)

[Harry362]

don't think so chief

Robbery

Was Cecil Peoples judging? 2 bloody slips don’t win a fight

[xmeandix]

Easy win for Daren Til

After Til KTFO Whitaker he will fight Costa for the title

What?

u must be a Till stan if u really think he won that fight

it was pretty clear cut. Till landed like 3 great strikes, but Bobby out stuck him everywhere, took him down multiple times, and hit him with nasty ground and pound

Meh I think he could be champion again. I agree tho he needs to stop throwing that looping overhand so much. I feel like after those 2 romero fights he's lacked killer instinct, he just felt content throwing leg kicks from the outside, not really pushing the pace and throw that looping overhand that has no chance in hell of landing. Not sure if a 2nd fight with Adesanya would be any different tbh. Inb4 this was a chess match.


on another note. all 3 of the judges actually got this right

[anonymous]

Really good fight. Bobby deserved the win.

Till showing signs of improvement.

Division looking good man.

[Schnitzl]

Great UFC, can't wait for the next 2 events

[hamburgerbread]

That fight was boring AF! Till didn't do chit after the first round.

That all happened in round 2

Rounds 1,4,5 were all till. 2 takedowns which were just slipping on blood don’t win a fight

[Nicklol]

Why do these LHWs think it's a good idea to go to HW? First Rockhold and now Gus. Both were absolute beasts at LHW but looked like total jokes at HW.

rockhold was mw that went to lhw
not heavyweight

[Nicklol]

that balding is brutal on noguiera, wonder if he's just considered shaving all of that chit off at that point

hes 44 lol

i basically had to give up my hair in my mid 20s. even though ive always shaved my head.

some ppl are just weird and dont give it up.
he probably has a weird head

Lol you’re on crack. No way does Till score more than 2 rounds. And I had him at 1.

yeah i know, just looks so terrible that you might as well shave it off

doubt he gives af tho, so w/e

[BobLoblawBrah]

Solid win for Whittaker, exactly the kind of fight I expected. I had it 48-47 whittaker but the round whittaker dropped was I think r4 where Till had a nice flurry.

Would love to see Costa v Till, Whittaker v Israel/Costa

This. Would watch fights with you in portland, my friend.

He won round 1 just because he had a elbow knockdown that was from momentum. Whittaker was way more active the whole fight, and kicked the sh*t out of his lead leg the whole fight. Easily 3-2 Whittaker and I had it 4-1

For sure 3.5-1.5 in favor of Whittaker. Scoring system is stupid in rounds that go for 5 fkn minutes. You need to take Whittaker out or he will leave with a lb of flesh and youll have half a lb, always.

This one looked like a swordfight to me, they just stood right in the pocket but waited to counter each other and Till got lucky with his clashes. Crazy to see neither of them circle left or right for the whole fight, they could have fought in a hallway, not a cage. So different to Izzy on his bike v romero.

I think those chitty "takedowns" at the end won the fight for Whittaker. I don't remember Whittaker landing anything significant in the 5th, whereas Till landed a huge elbow which split Whittaker's head open.

It definitely wasn't a "robbery" but I think there is a solid argument for Till 1, 4, and 5.

If one other judge gave Till the 5th, he would've got the nod. It was 2-2 going into that round, and they were split 2-1 in favour of Whittaker.

I'm extra salty because I had Till by decision in a bet, but whatever. It was a very interesting fight to watch.

Whittaker just did what he had to do. I was screaming at the TV for a takedown and he didn't secure one, but he threw Till to the ground 3 times lol. Till didnt control like that at any point after r1.

[skinnyfat88]

That fight left me thinking Till has more potential but Whitaker fights to win by moving forward and attacking more.

Till didn't fill out the way I thought he would moving up to MW. Both look small for the division.
