JMac did significantly more damage (which should be all that matters), but Newton had a lot of control at a lot of different times, so the judges liked that...but yeah, neither was overly close to a finish. Another round or two and JMac might have had one, but yeah...weird. If we were going round-by-round scoring, I think Newton would have won this one.

Weird one. Felt like neither wanted to hurt the other. Canadian Cahoots? I donno, but...yeah, I donno. JMac did significantly more damage (which should be all that matters), but Newton had a lot of control at a lot of different times, so the judges liked that...but yeah, neither was overly close to a finish. Another round or two and JMac might have had one, but yeah...weird. If we were going round-by-round scoring, I think Newton would have won this one.
