Lepri trabalhou a passagem a luta inteira enquanto o Valente só defendeu a guarda e sequer tentou raspar ou atacar pra finalizar, vitória incontestável.
Great guard retention from Valente but I didn't see him reach any real attacking position. Lepri was never in danger l, so I agree with the decision. Not much of a championship match tho
100% agree. Lepri was trying to progress the fight the entire time trying to pass. Valente was just holding on. Two weak attack attempts (triangle and armbar) and that's it.
Essa guarda foi pura amarração, nenhum ataque, eu talvez esteja desatualizado ou saudosista, houve um tempo em que existia o objetivo em derrubar o oponente, quando não acontecia puxava guarda mas uma guarda ofensiva, onde finalizar era o maior objetivo, hoje o que mais vejo é isto aí, uma guarda laço que é pura amarração!
Just watching jiu-jitsu match is really boring but let's imagine you are in that situation or the person competing with Lepri or Valente, then it's really really exciting.
Two amazing competitors will often times cancel each other out. Watch two blue belts go at it and it's exciting because there is constant scrambles because their technique is lacking.
Lepri was attacking the guard pass for 9 minutes, Valente was defending and didnt even try to make attempts for sweeps or submissions .. Thats why they gave the decision to Lepri
