Healy was extremely tough coming close to grinding out a decision against Thomson.
R:2 A:3 S:4 T3
I re-watched the fight in HD. I gave Thomson the 1st round easy on the strength of his submission attempts, which took the majority of the round.
I gave Healy the 2nd round based on his dominant position for most of the round, even though he did very little with it and Thomson got the better of the striking in the first 30 seconds and threatened with submissions throughout the round.
In the 3rd round Thomson was just barely getting the better of things until he landed that RNC. It looked like the choke was way too high.
Thomson looked skilled and well rounded, but not like a lightweight title contender.
Shamrock's scoring was retarded.
