    Clarke via KO/TKO
    never thought the likes of alvarez would be wearing that strap especially after watching his last three fights, thought he was going to get blitzed myself

    really thought nelson would trade with lewis...happy lewis got that one

    Conor would beat both of them though. I would be very confident of it

    RDA looked sharp but I'd also put my money on CMC to win that fight... I think he'd dominate him with his reach. He tries to stand in too much and relies on a thick chin.

    Thought Alvarez was really interesting with his footwork, that'd make a great fight, don't think I'd call it... Funny how a good win changes your perception!

    Alvarez td defence made rda have to stand,RDA merked Pettis with that grinding style against the cage wont work on someone like eddie or khabib.

    Alvarez via KO/TKO
    Been watching this over an over again today, what a performance from Eddie, nice massive piece of humble pie after calling for his head on here. The body shots done serious damage IMO.

    The first one neatly took dos Anjos off the smokes, it was unreal. The whole finishing sequence was quality also Eddie stayed ridiculously calm

    Watched it today, i'll be boring and just say wow.

    I was glad Lewis got the decision. I've no problem with grappling and Nelson's chin maybe he should have got some award for not going down... but he just didn't do anything on the ground. He spent a lot of time getting him to the ground (or hugging as lewis said) and just not much else.

    Was laughin my ass off at Lewis post fight interview.

    How did dos anjos stay standing? His legs bent completely out of shape and somehow sprung back. Hadn't seen alverez fight before but fair play

    What a sport.

    That flying knee though. Lost my **** watching it live. What a performance.

    We're getting much better fight cards and performances since this new weigh in procedure. Could be a coincidence but it seems to be making a huge difference.

    He needed the finish there too, he said in the post fight interview he emptied the gas tank in that onslaught, if Dos Anjos survived that round by some miracle, that fight could've gone a bit differently.

    Being real though, RDA was just never recovering from that and Alvarez isn't the type the waste such an opportunity for a finish. Thought the stoppage from Herb Dean was perfectly timed as well, how he gets them right all the time in the heat of the action is impressive as hell.

    Wiedman vs Rockhold is one I won't forget too soon though!

    Nice from duffy.

    The last minute of round three was sick. I'll be keeping an out out for him anyway.

    Forgot about that and I was there for it and all. :o

    Was screaming for him to stop it late in the third. His track record does speak for itself though, he's the best ref in all of combat sports in my opinion. I'd rate Goddard just behind him and then McCarthy after.
