#2 Punk sneaks a win
We’ve spoken about the pros and cons of a decision result, and while it seems unlikely, the idea of CM Punk edging a split decision is incredibly appealing. Think about it: if the fight goes the distance and Punk looks like he’s actually able to handle himself quite well, the crowd are going to be on their feet from start to finish and that’s a guarantee.
Then, when it comes to the actual decision being announced, the place will come unglued. We aren’t suggesting that there will be any kind of favoritism one way or another, but given that the fight is happening in Chicago, we’d have to imagine that the fan reaction to anything that Punk does could impact how the judges score it.
