Looked to me like the big Korean won every round. Why didnt they give him the dec?

He didn't land clean shots. they were only strong enough to push Jerome around. They still bounced off his gloves mostly.

It looked to me like Lebanner was hurting, blood pouring out of the nose. I probably need to watch the fight again but I know Choi did more damage.

Choi wasn't active enough. K-1 rewards aggression. Le Banner worked the legs more than Choi worked jerome's face.

I didnt notice a whole lot of leg kicks. Lebanner threw a couple that were effective but after the third Choi was checking them or countering. It looked to me like they connected almost even but Choi edged him out by doing more damage. Choi wasnt marked while Lebanner had a bloody nose and I thought the main judging criteria was accumulated damage. I had Choi winning every single round, I just dont get it.

It was a mad close fight. Choi would get like 1 or 2 puches in that would push LeBanner but wouldn't hurt him and Lebanner got good leg kicks but they weren't doing enough damage to really hurt him. I gave this one to LeBanner, he did a good job of avoiding most of Choi's attacks and his legkicks stood out to me eventhogh they didn't really stop Choi. Good fight though and glad it went an extra round.
