Mar 01 2009 3 Fight Posts WEC 39: Brown vs. Garcia – 8. Rob McCullough vs. Marcus Hicks by Eric Kamander · March 1, 2009 Lightweight bout: Rob McCullough defeats Marcus Hicks via majority decision (29-29, 30-27, 29-28). What Do You Think of This Fight/Event?
I picked Rob McCullough via decision
I was surprised that Marcus Hicks got the better of the striking in the 1st round.
In the 2nd I think he made a big mistake giving up position to go for the guillotine.
I think the 30-27 score was ridiculous.
R:3- A:3 S:2 T:2
CLUNKER
30-27 wasn’t ridiculous. The first and third rounds were close. Rob obviously wins the second and third (since Hicks did nothing in the third) and it’s not unreasonable to think Rob wins the first, since you’re basically judging based on whether Rob’s shots accumulated to greater effect than Hick’s harder shots.
I didn’t think the first round was that close. I easily gave it to Hicks. He connected repeatedoy and Rob hardly touched him.
