To be honest, that match seemed very much a win for Bobby. BUT, after thinking about it, I cant help but think it should have went to 3. Stephan Boner took some nice blows, but his 'in your face' approach really is what won it for him. He kept on Bobby the whole time, and ensured the fight was going at his pace, not Bobby's. Couture pretty much said it all after the 2nd round, "3rd round is yours Stephan, he cant keep the pace for another round." It was a good fight, and to be honest, I wasnt sure who was going down. Stephan had a moment where his equalibrium had taken a rocking, but seemed to regain it by standing off for a few seconds. Stephan almst found himself in a Triangle Choke, but luckily his JJ experience helped him get out of that situation before he was in too deep and Bobby had him. Mind you, both parties fought different styles, but equally as far as progression to damage.
When I learned that Stephan had been trained in Jiu Jitsu by Crosley Gracie, my money went on him immediatly. Stephan has gained my respect, solely for not only calling out one of the strongest Light Heavyweights, showig no fear and going at him with guns blazing, but for keeping his confidence and persistance throughout the entire fight.
