    Gotta appreciate Pantoja for giving us exciting fights and fireworks. The kid always takes damage in his fights and the fans need to relax a little bit. Can't blame him for making the most out of things considering his late fame. Anyway, congrats to Brazil for having the worst crowd.

    Pantoja won this 48-47 and the quantity of takedowns and control where the difference maker. Erceg had some good moments on the feet but he did miss a chunk of his strikes and he never hurt Alex. Damage is key but It's accumulative damage and you don't win a round or a fight automatically from just a cut. Erceg simply did not land enough consistent shots to clearly take the majority of rounds and let's not pretend Alex didn't land solid shots when he Blitz'd in either, he absolutely did. Alex simply did more in this fight and the right mans hand was raised.

    Don’t trust your corner on judging the rounds. We see it over and over again. Coaches might be carried away, influenced by the audience or fall in love with the game plan; seeing things work but they do not score.
    Alex and his team believing they were 3:0 when going in the fourth round is crazy. Congrats to him for the W though

      Agreed man. I dont know how anyone can actually say pantoja deserved that win. All fighters should just give up striking if this is how they score. Get a couple takedowns with couple soft punches and you win. Why even try to submit him or punch just hold him for 8 minutes out of the 25 and you win.
