Rory MacDonald has no doubt whatsoever that he defeated Gleison Tibau in his most recent fight no matter what two judges said on the scorecards.
In the three-round welterweight bout, MacDonald seemingly locked up an easy decision after landing more strikes and largely controlling the pace of the fight. Tibau came after him aggressively for the better part of 15 minutes, but connected on far fewer shots.
While he didn’t get the finish, MacDonald was more than confident he had secured the win until the scores were actually read out loud. Two judges — Cardo Urso and Dave Tirelli — scored the fight for Tibau while judge Eric Colon was the only one to give it to MacDonald.
