When people say Till won for octagon control I think they mean as the striking was even Till took it for being the aggressor, you look at striking and ground game first then octagon control second. That's the problem. The term 'Octagon Control' is vague in nature honestly. A fighter like Cruz would be happily gave away his ground if he could gain an advantageous angle to strike/point-strike his opponents for example. Wonderboy did this too last night but the problem was not the lack of rounds, it's more like Thompson's lack of aggression caused him the fight. He was so timid when he should have throw crazy spinning shits before the end of every rounds. Even BJM said giving Till rounds for 'Octagon Control' is a little BS.

On the other hand, judges were easily swayed by 'very enthusiastic' Scousers who went wild for Till whenever he threw something.. regardless of the fact that it landed or not while never reacting when Thompson was landing his counters. So I guess whenever Till was chasing Wonderboy with his back facing towards the judges, they would assume he was hitting Wonderboy based on hometown's overreactions. Joe Rogan is right. There should be more than three judges and they should have MMA background, even ex-fighters more preferably. Also I don't like Till shaking his head whenever he got hit also bothered me. Having a chin is great but you shouldn't use it as a part of your game and Till is a young fighter.. But he probably is adding some mileage on his chin based on the fact that he spent years in Brazil (probably crushing cans like every Kickboxers do), clearly spars like a moron Brazilian Muay Thai fighter (Wanderlei.. cough cough..) and as far as we have seen and cuts a lot of weight, assuming he have been doing it for his entire career, too.
