    I love Dana's high pitch voice when he's trying to shout talk with Joe :D

    So, if Pickett loses, could we see a rematch with Seery maybe?

    Mendes looking very relaxed.

    Joe, Dana, Bruce Buffer and the music blaring through the PA have reignited my excitement.

    Jesus those first few fights were dreadful.

    I think it will be the same as last time but I'd love Rory to get the belt.

    18 euro "HD" stream is pretty underwhelming t least it has stopped pausing every 5 secs I suppose


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 199 ✭✭Midkemia


    Have a perfect stream...pity they're speaking Russian

    Its that or nothing IMO, if Story could rough him up I think Thatch will stop him.

    Was fine for me anytime I used it. I have a feeling the amount of people watching will put a strain on it.

    Absolutely buzzing for the fight, just such a shame I have no idea what time it's on at as nobody has made that information known....

    :pac:

    I really love the Snatch pikey look lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,566 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Pickett's nickname has never been more appropriate than tonight, because One Punch is all he's gonna land! :pac:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,431 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatFromHue


    Seems to be a bit of support from the crowd for the Englishman, nice to see

    I have been trying to like watching Cathal fight but at this stage to is impossible. Look at the speed difference in the striking in this fight.

    Cathal strikes like a guy with severe arthritis. My grandad looks silky smooth a ultra fast at striking compared to Cathal.

    But sometimes its best to say nothing at all if you cannot say something nice so i a finished with my comments on cathal. Simply hope he does not take too much damage in future due to over reliance on his chin

    Cathal is a weird one. He looks quite athletic but I don't think I've ever seen anyone who throws such slow punches and strikes.
