JJ had quantity on her side, which was expected when going the distance w her. However Zhang had quality of strikes on her side, the quality can be shown by JJ’s transformation lmao. JJ looked elite, n Zhang was challenged but held superbly. I find it impressive w Zhang winning in decision against JJ, considering JJ usually wins when it comes to decision. could’ve gone either way, i’m just thoroughly impressed by both ladies. Classic fight 100%

No on cares what you scored, 1. Check the stats round by round, hits are hits, the fact that you score leg kicks less than overhands that dont do damage whereas the leg kicks chewed his leg up is your own problem 2. Even if the stats were in favour for romero (which they werent) you cant dethrone a champ with 5 shots that did no damage

Izzy called out Romero for this fight and said he will make a statement to add to his legacy. Izzy was clearly the hesitant one to strike first, despite being the supposed superior striker. Yoel literally chased Izzy at least 3 times. Izzy ran after every exchange. Romero never ran the entire fight, not once. Yoel had ring dominance. Izzy had leg kicks but honestly not much more. It takes two to tango and Yoel landed more significant punches to the face. I feel like Izzy deserved to keep the belt, Romero did not do enough. However I think Romero actually beat Izzy's gameplan but you can't take the belt like that. Izzy was too cautious of Yoel's power after the very first punch and this is the only reason I think Romero won unofficially.

Tupac Nation just because he called him out doesn’t mean he has to change his style. That makes no sense. He trained for Romero to explode at him and be more aggressive so ofc when Romero didn’t do that he kept his distance. Yoel is an Olympic wrestler, he should’ve came out looking to wrestle Izzy but he chose to be passive to the point he stood still for two minutes once the fight started lmao.
