Of all the controversies over judging the past few months, no single scorecard had my mouth fall to floor as Glenn Trowbridge’s 29-28 Ortiz scorecard last night. I haven’t been so puzzled by a scorecard since Tom Kaczmarek scored De La Hoya/Mayweather 115-113 for Oscar.
As noted in my post-fight recap, I scored the bout 30-26 for Griffin, with round 3 being the clear 10-8. I thought if any round went to Ortiz, it was round 2.
As usual, FightMetric released their report for the UFC 106 main event. FightMetric isn’t a be-all, end-all on its own, but it does provide a solid resource for discussion.
