Yeah, Thompson took over a bit late in the fight,but off of the top of my head I still remember thinking that Gil still 3 rounds to 2.

There is definitely something to be said, though, about the guy who is doing better towards the end of the fight and still has "more fight left in him", but as far as MMA judging criteria goes, thought Gil won 3 rounds to 2.

That's been the story with a few Diaz fights (both bros), they get outwrestled earlier in their fights while taking minimal-mild damage but then they out-cardio their opponent and have a really effective 3rd round while their opponent looks spent, but they just don't have enough time to get it done before the 3rd horn sounds.
