You could argue he won rnds 1 and 2. Boetsch didn't do much in the first and Lombard landed the most significant blow in the 2nd.

I just don't agree.. both had an awful fight but what did Lombard do to win outside of one kick? Boestch seemed like he landed more and was much more aggressive

More active and threw more shots. Lombard just stood there in his praying mantis stance.

At this point it will be a long time before Anderson Silva get a worthy opponent. As it is now only Chris Weidman shows promise at least making it entertaining.

Lombard - boring
Botech - boring

Stann & Bisping need to fight one more time.

After thinking about it more, I think it's round scoring versus judging the fight as a whole.

He stuffed every single one of Boestch's shots, took him down a couple times. Landed the more significant blows. Both looked terrible.

Round by round judging is how it is in the UFC.
What did Boestch do to steal two rounds? They each landed so few punches, that they cancelled out pretty much.
Lombard hurt him in rd 2. Took him down in round 3. That should be 2 rounds right there.

I started zoning out of the last fight, but I thought Lombard won. I can't see Faber and Barao being boring, but I said the same thing about the last two. What a main card lol.

He did nothing with the take downs but yeah I agree they both didn't have worthy performances.

I don't think Lombard was robbed in any way though... so he can't be upset.
