I think another way to put it is Max won more of the fight than Volk did.1 and 2 - clearly Max
3 and 4 - close
5 - clearly Volkanovski
This just highlights another way the round by round scoring is atrocious.
Namaste

How rounds are scored:For rounds 3 and 4, Max continued to be the aggressor, dictating the fight, which lead to a couple of desperate, ineffective takedown attempts from Volkanovski in round 4.
This does not matter one bit. Rounds are scored on a round-by-round basis.Even round 5, the only consensus winning round for the champ, wasn’t as clear cut as rounds 1& 2 were for Holloway.
I had Max winning the fight. Watching live I had him winning 1,2, and 4. But Volkanovski winning the fight was definitely NOT a robbery.Anyone disputing whether Max was robbed or not is either a UFC fan boy, a member of Volkanovski’s team, or very bored at the moment (understandable given the state of things).
Yeah, I saw it. He picked Max to win and is clearly overly emotional so he lacks credibility on this. I watch that show a bit, even though Josh Thomson is an idiot. BJM isn't always an idiot but can be. If you are getting emotional that someone gave round 4 of this fight to one guy over the other, you are being irrational.
My betting company won't do the same.

Can you tweet Max Holloway and ask him if he will be offering refunds to people who bet on him because he took round 5 off?
I'm sure his fans will appreciate it.
Cheers. I hope some Hawaiians stumble across it in between mistakenly sending death threats to Alexander Volkov.
