    This has been a really good card so far! Hope it stays on form. Caraway for FOTN so far :)

    That was a hometown decision, there. Mc Gee won that fight.

    Court McGee robbed there imo. A draw at the very least, because Ring got destroyed in that last round. Also bitter because that gives me a negative score in the fantasy :p

    Criticism of Rosenthal is a bit harsh IMO, my gut reaction when I saw it was that Clements called for a low blow. I didn't think he'd been hit low but assumed he had by his reaction. Imagine Rosenthal thought the exact same. And the fact Clements paused and looked at the ref indicates it's more shenanigans on his part than anything else.

    This has actually been a great card. Some great fights, really impressed by Riddle, I never really rated him before.

    Quality finish and fight from Riddle. Did exactly what he needed, when he needed to do it. I'm a fan after that.

    They were illegal. If I can recall.

    Yep, definitely illegal. They reckoned elbows ruin fights by ending fights due to cuts.

    Ebersole always looks likes he's taking the puss too much.
    Not a good day for my picks.

    I'm 1/8 tonight, and I lost those 50 points because I boosted some other guy that lost lol. Good thing I'm not a betting man.

    I'm not much of a better but I'd love to know if bookies take bets on nutshots. I'd put a lot of money on Kongo landing a good one in this fight.

    Well, think thats me getting a big fat 0 tonight.

    How disappointing was that from Lombard. I thought he won 29-28 (1st Boetsch, 2nd and 3rd Lombard), because Boetsch did zero damage and had zero takedowns but Lombard looked as if he didn't want to be there, or was just trying to do the absolute minimum to get the result. Whatever it was, it didn't work. He was the main reason I stayed up for this. His bandwagon is going to be quite a bit lighter after this.

    Pretty bad show alright. It seems that a load of mid-level guys were given a chance and just showed up for a paycheck. Fairly disappointing event.

    Undercard was great, just went downhill with the Ebersole/Head fight.

    Lombard got screwed.
    He was looking for openings, active, better in the clinch. Tim just through out a few wild shots.

    eh what? he just stood flat footed for 95% of the time! looking or openings???? ha ive never heard that one before as a reasoning to give the decision.
    the only hing of note from hector was his wearing of 4 tops, more interesting than his fight

    why did riddle stop without being told by the ref, i think he contributed to the confusion. he knew he didnt hi him in the nuts but didnt go for the kill.

    Watched the main card there now and to say underwhelmed would be accurate, really poor stuff. The Riddle fight was the only good one, the rest were slow, methodical crap. And no way did Lombard deserve it, he was slow, disinterested/overawed.

    Agree with Ben just saw the main card and only the riddle fight was good. The kongo fight and then lombard fight would of having me p'd if i stayed up.

    Not a hope.

    Tim didn't run away with it. But there was no robbery. Lombard did nothing in the entire fight to say he deserved to win the fight! Not that Tim did either, but you can't be so lacklustre in a fight and then call it a robbery when you lose.

    Didn't see the undercard but just watched the Main Card. Very poor in my opinion.

    Agreed with the Lombard decision, he was rubbish, all that hype ended pretty quickly.

    Kongo fight was rubbish!

    The riddle submission was class

    Expected a bit more from Faber, but i think it was just a bad match up for him. it was dangerous for him to go to the ground and he was the worse striker of the 2.

    Pretty rubbish overall-if i had of paid for it i would be well pissed

    The undercard was much better. I am not surprised by how the crowd were reacting during the main card. It was like some of the fighters didn't care.
