Unanimous? Seriously?

1 3 4 and arguably 5 were Rampage.

BULL****IN****

That's kind of the way I feel, Joe kept saying how Forrest won 10-8 in round 2, but Forrest never hurt him, and in the 1st Forrest was so close to being done. Either way I think Forrest won, but deffinitly not that close, i'm glad Forrest won because maybe they'll get a rematch right away, I HOPE SO that was a wicked fight.

3 I would give to Forrest. 4 and 5 were so close I couldn't call it. You could argue in favor for both fighters. Round 2 was complete domination and to me was a 10 8 round in Forrest's favor.

This is CRAZY! I never thought Forrest would ever be the world champion. But hard work and a good gameplan can do alot.

IMO Forrest didn't have much of a gameplan, just wasn't stupid when striking, he threw nice leg kicks but everyone knew that was coming, good but obvious gameplan I guess.
Still IMO think this was a WAY closer fight then it was on paper people deffinitly underestimate Forrest though, including myself.
Good job to him.

PS: Joe just said you can't say the Shogun fight is a fluke anymore, why does he kiss Forrest's a$$ so much? Shogun and Rampage are 2 different fighters, and it still deffinitly was a fluke, not the fight but the fact Shogun came in such bad shape.

Great fight .Congtats to Forrest . Hopefully the rematch will be soon . Very entertaining and close fight.

SmashingMachine · 07-06-2008, 12:57 AM

Yeah, never thought it would play out this way...but, we should've learned not to underestimate him after he beat down Shogun. Kudos to Forrest. I'm happy for him. What a great fight!

'Page seriously needed a 2-minute drill at the end of the 5th. He should have just thrown caution to the wind and gone for it. That 2nd round probably shouldn't have been 10-8, but Rampage shouldn't have risked it.

ugh, Goldy is p*ssing me off. One of the greatest main events ever? No, no way dude.

Crazy · 07-06-2008, 01:02 AM

I actually scored it a draw.

Rampage-Forest
10-9
8-10
10-9
10-9
9-10

Was very close anyway. Just did not see it as a clear win for Forest

Big gratz to Forrest.
One of the best fights I seen this year.
Great heart to keep fighting with those early leg problems.

I think the main event was great actually. Rest of the card was really bad though.Really supriced with so many god fighters.I even fell asleep for a few minutes in the middle of the show.

Yeah, even with a 10-8 second, I got draw too. No way it should have been unanimous. Split decision or a draw for this fight.

BCguy · 07-06-2008, 01:04 AM

Round 2 and 5 were forrests. Round 2 was not a 10-8. Forrest did not do enough damage to make it a 10-8. I dont agree with the decision , but i'll accept it. Lost 2 million points which always sucks. Overall , was not happy i spent $45 on this event.

Dirty Fighter · 07-06-2008, 01:06 AM

Are you effing kidding me?!?! I can't find the logic in the scoring. Round two I give to Forrest 10-9. Good leg kicks, and stayed on top, but no meaningful damage. Rd. 5 was close so I'll give that to him too. Rounds 1, 3, & 5 go to Rampage definitely. 48-47 Rampage.

My biggest problem with round 2 being a 10-8 was that Forrest could have, but didn't posture up while in the mount. Rampage was not holding him down. Forrest missed the opportunity and didn't inflict much damage --> not a 10-8

Exactly how i saw it. In order to win a belt by decision one is supposed to convincingly win the fight. Which Forrest did not do. But oh well. Let the Tufers have their day.

T-Bone · 07-06-2008, 01:10 AM

toss up...tie goes to the TUF poster boy.

Rumbin · 07-06-2008, 01:10 AM

The most "damage" in R2 was a leg kick and a kimura attempt, hardly a 10-8

10-10 rd 1
10-8 rd 2 Forrest
10-9 Page
10-9 Page
10-9 Forrest
48-45 Forrest

Is how I scored it. Not trying to start anything, but I don't see how you could've scored rd 2 any different. Page went down because of the beating his left leg took and then Forrest gnp'ed him for the rest of the round. It was completely dominant.

Instant rematch?

Dirty Fighter · 07-06-2008, 01:11 AM

At least both were real classy in their post fight comments and Forrest opened the door for a rematch himself. Still......300k. D A M N Y O U, F O R R E S T!!! D AM N Y O U T O H E L L !!!!!
