    Frankie just can't beat Aldo. Think we knew this but definitely confirmed now. Aldo looked good but he looked good against Frankie in the past. Conor is a completely different bout. Styles makes fights.

    I got 4-1 Aldo. Judges could easily go wayward here.

    3-2 Aldo but I'm interested to see will judges reward frankie being the aggressor? Good close fight either way and I'm surprised/pleased Aldo looked so good

    Jose cruised to a dominant victory and never had to get out of 3rd gear to do it.

    Frankie off to 135 now I'd imagine.

    Nah he just got thru it. Edgar landed a good few times. If Conor connects even for half that its lights out for Aldo

    Conor about to move into Aldo's head now for about a year.

    I have never seen Aldo so relaxed or consistent with his pace over 5rounds.

    Also out of curiousity do you think Aldo purposefully worked on a game plan on involving backward movement and countering as he knows he'll be put on the back foot from Conor

    I don't think so, he's always moved well like that.

    I maintain Holloway would give them 2 a world of trouble,think he would maul Frankie.

    His movement has always been superb but it just looked like he was constantly on the backfoot?

    His biggest strength, wrestling, was completely nullified.

    The strange thing is that Aldo didn't use one if his biggest strengths,his kicks
