omoplata: Originally posted on her own blog, but the BE re-post has a more lively comments section. I tried to read the comments on BE and I just couldn’t do it. Nonetheless, love love love Candice.

I Wonder
Given that scorecard, I wonder if it truly is the case that 10-8 rounds are rare, or if fights with 10-8 rounds typically never reach a decision. I’d like to see some stats on that.
