I hate the whole, "he landed the harder shots" argument, I can see if the striking numbers are close than it's good to use, but when you are being cleanly outstruck volume wise, unless you knock the other guy out the harder shots don't mean shit, it just means you like to plant and throws hooks and over hands, of course Maynard landed the harder shots, all he does is try to knock your head off with every punch, and even after rocking Edgar on numerous occasions couldn't put him away.
I don't think Frankie got the takedown in round three. It was at the end of round 2, and then he got 2 in round 4.

Edgar was outlanding Maynard but it wasn't like GSP outlanding Koscheck in the round. And Maynard HURT Edgar with his shots more in the round, doing more damage. I'm pretty sure he wobbled him. He then finished the round in dominant position.

Now I'm not saying I disagree with you, if I was at ringside judging the fight I probably would have given the round to Edgar as he landed most of the strikes and was just better than Maynard, BUT I knew they'd give it to Maynard based on what I said. Also I was biased towards Frankie so I figured the reason I'd have given the round to him was because of that, I had to back off of that and see the round for what it was.
