FightMetric Takes on Horodecki-Palaszewski
Though FightMetric was not on-site in Chicago for the opening round of the IFL Grand Prix, we were watching the broadcast on television and scoring from home.
The opening match between Chris Horodecki and Bart Palaszewski ended the exact same way as their first meeting; in a contentious split decision. The opinion of most was that Hordecki definitely won the first round and that Palaszewski won the second. The third round was anyone's guess.
FightMetric tracked the fight, which was nearly entirely composed of striking. The only significant grappling actions were two takedowns by Palaszewski, one of which led to a sweep by Horodecki. The striking stats for the match break down like this:
The FightMetric round scores tell an interesting tale. The first round goes decisively to Horodecki, who wins 80-26. The second round goes to Palaszewski by an almost equal margin, winning it 104-49. The final round, which was anyone's guess, it still is. That round was dead even, 50-50. Using the ten-point must system, this fight is a draw. Too bad MMA judges seem morally opposed to scoring 10-10 rounds.
The overall FightMetric scores for the fight are 181 for Palaszewski to 178 for Horodecki. Since FightMetric maintains a two-point margin of error for each fighter, any fight within four points is considered a draw. The overall FightMetric scores produce the same result as the ten-point must system. Call this match even.
Come back tomorrow for the results from the light-heavyweight title match between Vladimir Matyushenko and Alex Schoenauer.
