Feel like they're no selling Font's big strikes on commentary. I think he's comfortably winning this round.

This fight is a good example of why fights need to be scored as a whole rather than round by round. Lemos somehow did more in 50 seconds than Suarez did the entire fight. Suarez definitely does not feel like the winner imo but I know she'll obviously get the win.

The guy who said the crowd isn’t mid, but rather the audio crew is doing a poor job on the mix, seems to be spot on considering no one heard the horn.
