The nice thing about a split decision is that it counts just the same as a unanimous decision, a knockout, or a submission. So when a rogue judge gives the fight to your opponent, at least the two correct judges can grant you the win you rightfully deserve. So for Kendall Grove, it’s all the same in practicality. It’s left to us, the fans, to debate and discuss what happened in the mind of the dissenting judge who gave the fight to Tanner.
We’ve released the stats for Grove vs. Tanner, and the results shouldn’t shock anyone but Al Lefkowitz. FightMetric sees all three rounds for Grove, with only the third round conceivably close enough to grant to Tanner. The first round goes to Grove, who outstruck Tanner 16-4. The second round was clearly in favor of Grove, and while the FightMetric system calls the round 10-9, it was pretty close to the threshold after which the round would be called 10-8, as two judges called it. The third round was scored 66-61 for Grove in terms of effectiveness, though after factoring in damage, the score goes up to 73-61. Giving that round to Tanner seems justified.
