it took Whittaker putting on a Champion level performance to beat Costa. They both came to win and I love it. What a fight.

[@themannis479]

Dude when Paulo caught Whittaker with that kick in the first round…. That would have put many fighters out cold, but rob somehow bounced back, he didn’t even look that hurt when he came out for the second round.

They really should stop promoting shitty energy drinks. Might as well promote cigarettes

[@alexanderohanlon8825]

To be fair cigarettes would he better, at least the block estrogen formation.

And everyone is wondering why the average testosterone in boys and men has degraded by 70% since the 80s… It’s also our water sources the treatment plants are not able to get rid of all the crap thats why you need to get your own personal water filter for your house (a proper one not one that attaches to your sink)

Whittaker won but Costa is my guy he played solid hard guy.

[@tylerjaime5094]

There is no reason for costa to hang his head low after that fight he had a close fight with one of the greatest middleweights ever and I’m surprised he didn’t Ko him with that kick

[@georgepierre3594]

@@tylerjaime5094 Costa def has a high skill ceiling, he just needs to be tiny bit more agressive and bring the pressure. He also has really good head movement, dodging whittaker's fasst jabs.

[@ROSH1503]

The headkick would’ve taken anyone else’s lights out but I guess Bobby has been rocked several times like that in his career and he’s now kinda wired to withstand it a bit more but it being end of the round helped a fek load! Both of them were on each other, very different but viciously complementary styles

but if the leg was a face you would understand more about damage

[@chroobear7890]

He went to hospital cause of the leg

[@waynecoburn5362]

This is such a simplistic way to look at fighting. Some fighters due to years of wars are more prone to being cut. If the loser of a fight was defined but who looked the most damaged, you could literally have a situation where one fighter completely outclasses the other for a whole fight but just happens to get badly cut and ends loosing because the look like they took more damage.

[@lordhandsomeswag1854]

very true and real but the rules say damage is most effective - this refers to instant damage > accumulative damage; Whittiker doesn't have any unusual scar tissue issues like the Diaz'. That said, Whittiker 29/28@@waynecoburn5362

[@biscobisco1882]

Except Rob did more 'damage' in R2 and R3 by landing 17 more significant strikes than Costa did across both rounds - having your brain rattled is damage too mate.

What possible argument does Costa have for winning rounds 2 and 3? Hell, even R1 is contentious considering Rob landed 11 more significant strikes and was perfectly fine and throwing back hard shots exactly 1 second after eating that kick.

[@stevenseal1286]

@@biscobisco1882we all know those strike counts are so fake. Plus the main judging factor is damage and costa beat Robert up pretty badly. I thought it was a close fight but off who got hurt more and who controlled the pace I’d have to give it to costa just like most people are saying.

[@biscobisco1882]

@stevenseal1286 Costa did not 'hurt' Rob in R2 or 3 - do yourself a favour and count who was cracked hard, had their head snapped back and backed off to strikes more in those rounds. It sure as shit wasn't Rob. A bleeding nose isn't the be all end all of damage - getting your brain rattled is damage too. And you wanna talk superficial 'damage'? Look at Costa's left leg - looked like the Michelin Man's leg.
