I'm not buying that it's rigged, Silva landed some very real punches. People questioned how Jake would handle being hit because he has never really been touched.
Him fighting Nate Diaz is not the direction I want to see him go though, fight a boxer and not an old washed vegatable who would be a step down from Silva
I figured all Jake had to do was make it to the judges and have a couple decent rounds for it to be in his favour but when he knocked Silva down in the 8th round, I had to give him his respect.
He has a hard punch and he was getting worked in the first few rounds.. If only Silva just focused on not putting on a show early and just hit him with punches.
Silva only threw 5 punches in the first round.. landing 2 out of 5. 1 of the 2 being a huge right hand compared to Jakes 40+ punches thrown.
Seemed to be toying with him while putting on a show early on and he didn't have the time with only 8 rounds, in my opinion.
Fight fun. Hope they take it to Kickboxing now.
