WOW! A very good fight, but a TERRIBLE decision. If we went round-by-round, this MIGHT have made sense, as Chandler controlled and won the first 3 rounds pretty clearly. But in the last 2 rounds, Demetrious absolutely dominated Chandler, and did twice as much damage to Chandler in 2 rounds as Chandler did to him in 3. I don't love Johnson, and I think I picked Chandler, but this was a bad decision in my book.

WOW! A very good fight, but a TERRIBLE decision. If we went round-by-round, this MIGHT have made sense, as Chandler controlled and won the first 3 rounds pretty clearly. But in the last 2 rounds, Demetrious absolutely dominated Chandler, and did twice as much damage to Chandler in 2 rounds as Chandler did to him in 3. I don't love Johnson, and I think I picked Chandler, but this was a bad decision in my book.
