Oh, and WTF Doug Crosby? I can see a 10-8 in round 4, but round 1?!? And if you ARE going to give a 10-8 in round 1, then WTF do you think happened in round 4?

I would have scored round 1 10-8.
Woodley landed like 50 strikes and Thompson was a mess. He dominated him with his wrestling, and was never 'laying and praying' His was VERY active in beating the hell out of WB.
I think Thompson landed 1 or 2.
That's more than a significant disparity.
He didn't 'rock' him, but it was pure 1 sided domination. I don't view this like boxing. A 10-8 round doesn't need a 'knockdown' in my eyes at all. I would have woodley up 10-8 in 1 and 4. I think it's a joke Wooley didn't win a unanimous decision. The most memorable moments for Thompson revolved around his incredible resilience, which was only on display because he was getting beat down hard.
I hate Woodley's stand up game. He just makes it boring.
