I actually thought that was a bad decision. But it depends on your method of scoring. Cro Cop hit Hunt with more shots. And hit Hunt with harder shots. But because Hunt has an iron chin, Hunt didn't appear to be hurt. Cro Cop has a weaker chin, so Hunt's punch in the third round stunned Cro Cop, causing it to look like Cro Cop was running away from Hunt.

IOW, under an amateur boxing scoring system, Cro Cop wins easily.

Under a round scoring system (a la UFC), Cro Cop wins, because he won the first two rounds.

But under the Pride scoring system (where the entire fight is judged as a whole), Hunt could be seen as winning. (I disagree, but I'm biased, because I'm a Cro Cop fan.)

I like both Hunt and Cro-Cop, and could also see that decision going either way. Good god Hunt took some brutal kicks to the head in that match and didn't look fazed AT ALL. That was his #1 fight, imo. He really hasn't been as good since.

His brain is probably still bruised! In all seriousness though, Hunt is pretty likely to end up with Brain Damage at the end of his career, he has no defense, he just eats shots with his freakisly thick skull and smiles. He's probably the worst matchup for Cro Cop in Pride right now, since he's spent all his time training to beat Fedor, he's probably not the kickboxer he needs to be to beat Hunt. I guess since he's started to add some GnP to his game he could take him down. Imagine that, Cro Cop having a fight where he's the better ground fighter.
