LesIsANar Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 how does this work? I thought that judges noted on paper after EVERY single round and not all 3/5 rounds at the end of the fight... am I wrong about this assumption? without flaming Penn, just answer the question (It's NOT the purpose of this thread to flame anyone ) I heard him say that in some pre-ufc118 interviews about Frankie trying to steal the fight with his celebration.. also on TUF when fighters, after the fight has gone the distance, getting told by their cornermen to raise their arms for the judges to see they "won" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMfreddrick Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 idk bout ufc but in amateur boxing they put there initial decision of scoring the round immediately following the round and than at the very end they are given some time to review and sometimes change it.

Vendur Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 They do record every single round. But considering that the fight was 2 rounds to 2 rounds going into the 5th, the 5th round winner would win the fight. So if you managed to "steal" that last round, you would have stolen the fight.

Vendur Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 By saying "steal" you mean cheer yourself to victory? Who knows. It's ********, but that's never stopped BJ's mouth before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibberish Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 By saying "steal" you mean cheer yourself to victory? fighters reactions to the ending of the fight could maybe and i say maybe sway the judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ********' date=' but that's never stopped BJ's mouth before.[/quote'] hehe indeed not well if it IS so, then I think that judges should not be allowed to look at the fighters/octagon after the fight is over and they have handed in the scorecards! I know it sounds crazy and childish but if it really gets the judges biased then I only think it's fair really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoToGuy Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 This is really dumb. The real reason Edgar raised his hands was because he knew he had won the fight. So did his corner, the audiance, and most importantly BJ. Penn is just making excuses again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why they tell you to put your hands up after every round to sway the judges.. In a close fight it can make a difference, and when one fighter has his hands up at the end of the round and the other fight looks tired even if it was a close fight that might sway the judges.

Martino231 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Edgar raised his hands at the end of the fight because the 5th round was pretty one sided in his favour. The fight was a close one, but coaches will always tell fighters to raise their hands at the end of the fight to show the judges that they're confident.
