As you may have noticed, the forum was offline for a period. We identified a security incident to Sportsbook Review Forum and took the site offline as a containment step while we investigated.
We wanted to make sure the system and site were restored and secured before bringing things back online and you will see that we are requiring all forum users to reset their password as a precautionary step.
If you have any questions, our moderators are around and happy to help where they can.
If you watched the fight and saw Elkins face when his hand was raised you saw how shocked he was.

One of the worse decisions I've ever seen... Unanimous decision... are you kidding?
Obviously fixed... the Canadian books cleaned up on that one

The decision made no sense once so ever in any regard. I often wonder if books 'offer' bonuses to judges if this or that happens. It obviously happened in boxing, so why not mma?

I have no doubt that it happens, probably a lot more than people realize. Bullshit decision yet again.

I thought Elkins won the first, 2nd was close, Elkins landed more punches, Omigawa controlled the center, even tho Elkins came forward more. The blood wasnt that big, sometimes one shot will cut you, but it shouldnt influence the whole fight. Round 3 was completely Omigawa. No doubt. it could have been 29-28 for either fighter, i thought Omigawa, i was pissed Elkins didnt use his wrestling more. Judges could have been paid off, but i think they would have kept it realistic as 29-28 if they were covering up a fix.

The first could have gone either way but the second was controlled by Omi and he landed more shots. There were no kicks and no ground game/submissions so only the control/punches should have factored in which went to Omi. Third round wasn't even close and I would like to smoke a bowl of whatever is in the judge's pipe who gave it 30-27. He must have had a severe hard-on for Japanese boys.
