    Aldo looks a lot stronger

    Looks like two different weight category fighters fighting.

    Aldo looks huge compared to Edgar.

    Not just taller but a lot thicker too.

    Jones via KO/TKO
    Watching this, as good as it is from both guys, I dont think either one of them would have the beating of McGregor.

    Jones via Submission

    2-1 Frankie is it just me or does aldo seem like he's really holding back in terms of his output? What he's throwing is effective though

    You do get the impression he's holding something back. Hopefully we'll see him try unleash it shortly.

    Frankie is pushing the pace,judges might like that.

    How can anyone have Frankie winning so far?

    He seems hesitant which is understandable given his last fight...but ya can't take it away from him... I thought Frankie would dominate...

    Aldo hasn't run away with this completely but he is ahead and Frankie needs a game changer quick


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    Not to take anything away from them but I think Conor would butcher either of these.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,864 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Aldo has his mouth open all the time. If Conor hit him on the chin like before he would be going to sleep again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Aldo is taking the piss here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,549 ✭✭✭evolving tipperary


    aldo toying wit his dinner - looks like a matador


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,304 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    What fight are you watching?

    A half drunken Aldo hating one it seems.:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,784 ✭✭✭froog


    aldo 4-0

    It's not a myth, the scorecards show his round win rate in 4 and 5 is about 50-60%,
    His 1-3 win rate is 95%

    (Numbers from memory, but not far off)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,682 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    Jesus.

    Frankie just can't touch him, Jose is looking great here.

    40-36.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    I dont think Aldo is running away with it,winning ok nothing amazing.

    I've it 2-2 but if I was told it was 3-1 or Aldo I wouldn't call it robbery


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,792 ✭✭✭2Mad2BeMad


    frankie needs a tko to win this, I reckon aldo has this if it goes to decision

    He's won every round.

    Also seems to be in 3rd gear, has to be a reason for zero kicks

    What rounds would you give to Frankie?

    Aldo took 1, 2 and 4.

    39-37 I have it as.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,009 ✭✭✭✭lertsnim


    I was expecting a lot more from Frankie. I don't think Conor will be losing sleep over this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    Looks like no red panty night for frankie


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,549 ✭✭✭evolving tipperary


    Frankie doesn't have the power to make Aldo take notice...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,864 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Frankie needs a big finish or else its over for him

    Will Aldo vault the cage when he wins to confront Conor? It would add $$$$ to the rematch!!!
