If Justin Gaethje has an impressive (and more or less surprised) victory when he defeated Dustin Poirier with a high kick, the competition between Alex Pereira and Jan Blachowicz had to defeat with points. This is one of the most professional and most balanced matches in the last event.
The results of the score given by 3 inspections were also very close to each other: 2 people spot Pereira won 29-28, and 1 dot blichowicz won 28-29. Blachowicz himself said he was robbed by the referees a victory, when Polish boxers asserted that he played better than the opponent. So who is right, who is wrong? Does Pereira deserve to win Blachowicz?
To answer this question, try to surf the comments of some international martial arts sites such as MMA Junkie, MMA Mania, MMA Fighting. All of these international martial arts pages are in favor of determining that Pereira won by the point before Blachowicz, specifically as follows:
– In the first half: Blachowicz has played very well to put Pereira into the corner of the cage. He controlled the opponent with a completely superior material technique and completely controlled the match. This half Blachowicz won 10-9.
– In the second half: This is a striking competition between two boxers. When standing more, Pereira launched a more efficient attack. The difference between the two people in this half is very small, but Pereira is a bit better, winning 10-9.
– The third half: Pereira's number of striking attacks made more and more, while Blachowicz proved to be empty. Polish boxers made a successful take down in the end of the half but it was not enough for him to win this half. Pereira continued to win 10-9.
In the end, Pereira surpassed Blachowicz with a score of 29-28, similar to the results of 2 Brazilian boxers. The difference only came to the assessment No. 3, the blanchowz winner won Pereira in the third half, but it was not enough for Polish boxers to turn the situation. That also means the match results are reflected correctly through the score.
