Comments Thread For: Yamanaka Edges Moreno By Split Nod, Retains Title

[glenn mcrory]

didnt watch it, couldnt find stream but, maybe there was an injury. Moreno sucks ok he's not bad but pressure would crack him if he cant clinch.

Nah, Moreno won a close but clear decision, but they really didn't want Yamanaka to lose.

a lot said mcdonnell lost when i had him up 8 4 plus the knockdown, he might have not done enough to control the round.

Me personally looked really clear. Also unlike the McDonell/Kameda fight.... not really as split up as this fight was. Couldn't find a single person who had Yamanaka up and i'd have a hard time believing them if they did

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't have an injury.... but he should've lost this fight and didn't look good doing it.

Trust me, like what you are seeing of the people around here saying, he lost the fight.
He did good in some rounds where he was able to connect and hurt Moreno. Trust me, with the way Moreno was taking Yamanaka's left hands, if he had done that the whole fight, Moreno wouldn't have ended the fight on his feet. He made Yamanaka clearly miss quite a lot.
Like Hougigo said, Moreno even badly hurt Yamanaka himself and should've got what looked like to me as a knockdown.

Yamanaka looked too focused on landing his left hand and made himself predictable.

IMO, he lost. Plain and simple.

As soon as I saw split, I expected to read these comments and see people saying Moreno was robbed. That's really unfortunate.

Last time I saw Yamanaka fight was against Vic Darchinyan and I was unimpressed. He was fortunate in that the ref let the fight go one when Vic was badly cut by a blatant elbow. In general he's a pretty good fighter, but he's nowhere near top 10 P4P that RING Magazine has him ranked.

Hilarious post. I thought it was a ****** and pointless analysis when he admitted he did not even watch the fight lol. This same guy claimed a injury when he picked Donaire over Walters saying his cartilage exploded in his knee and thats why he lost lol, more like a bomb hit the temple and he got knocked the f out. Lets just make injuries up to make our pick look better.

Moreno has got to have the worst luck. Either way. I thought he looked himself not really that close of a fight tbh. I had no horse I this race and I still think shinsuke lost.

Yamanaka buzzed in the 9th.
