Jorge Masvidal believes that the judges may have been influenced by the home-crowd atmosphere during his recent match with Nate Diaz. Even though Masvidal landed more significant punches, he ended up losing by a majority decision. He thinks that the cheers from the crowd, mostly in favor of Diaz, might have swayed the judges’ opinions, even when Diaz’s punches didn’t connect effectively. Masvidal was disappointed with the judges’ scoring, especially with some giving Diaz a clear advantage.
Despite the defeat, Masvidal and Diaz co-promoted a successful event. Masvidal intends to concentrate on his boxing career, with two upcoming matches already scheduled. He is looking forward to potentially having a fair rematch with Diaz in a neutral location like Las Vegas, to settle the controversy surrounding their fight.
