Highly skilled fighters in a very entertaining fight. Though a surprise result for me.

these two are the worst commentators in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they just want Jonson to fight Benavidez, even though McCall would be a good match up for him (Benavidez) too
McCall was certainly ripped off
you guys think mccall won, but you gotta think about it in the other rounds johnson was beating the crap out of him.
I’ve seen the fight twice now and I think Johnson had it in rounds 1 and 2. 3 was all McCall. Even with the decision error, I’d have gone with DJMM as slightly more significant in his striking and control. McCall’s takedowns were a credit to his offence but he didn’t manage the matted positions well enough to get full credit. You can’t assume big points for a take down when your opponent is works his way back to the feet with the level of finesse as Johnson.
That said, I’m not against the draw. I’ve got a feeling that McCall and Johnson are so close in fighting ability that they go .500 on each if they fight ten times. Creeps kind of took the shine off of Mighty Mouses speed by being the faster man in a lot of exchanges and also looked to have the edge in strength.
But you just can’t take your finger off the trigger in a fight like that and I think Johnson would have defend that back-mount a little better if he didn’t think he could ride out the last few seconds of the bout with the cards in his favor. 2/1.
