    gadelha not the fighter she used to be, carla has improved but you have to think a year back gadelha would have eaten carla for breakfast

    1 clear round for each of them. It’s all going to come down to the first. Claudia 29-28 for me.

    He did say that didn't he? Shows what an impressionable little bollix I am

    He also called one of Esparza's head kicks a leg kick.

    Maybe no more cans for Jon? :pac:

    Thats a terrible decision. Clear win for Carla.

    Correct decision in the fight and correct decision for my accumulator. Very entertaining fight. Great card in general so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,380 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Claudia thinks she’s getting the FOTN bonus? Yeah that shot in the first definitely concussed her. :pac:

    Judges got it right imo, first round Claudia scraped it and then 1 round each.

    Nonsense. First round was very close, Claudia dominated round 2 and Carla dominated Rd 3. Very fair decision


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,459 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Was hoping it might go Carlas way but it was close

    Thought it was an obvious 29-28 to Claudia myself. First round was tough to call but overall Claudia got the better of her and was close to submitting her towards the end of the round. 2nd clearly Claudia, 3rd clearly Esparza.

    Yup Carla got the 3rd, Claudia the other two. I don't think Claudia has gotten any worse, but she still loses her pop after two rounds like always.

    And Drake walking out with him too, he must be disgusted by that.

    Hoping for a Blaydes win here


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭dulux99


    Sad state of affairs when these are the 2nd and 4th ranked guys in the world.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭dulux99


    Blades had him badly rocked on the fight and decided to snooze it out and take him down. I don't think I'm a Curtis Blades fan

    Hes a very effective fighter but too conservative and cautious for my liking.

    well i think i spoke too soon


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭dulux99


    He turned it on at the end, fair play.


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,380 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    That was some finish. Overeem’s face went from pretty to disfigured in the space of a second.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭dulux99


    Poor from the ref there I reckon


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭mangobob


    Wow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 802 ✭✭✭KingJamsie


    Shocking stoppage


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Those elbows were nasty! Great win for Blaydes

    Should have stopped it 2-3 before he did

    is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling Joe doesn't like the Reem at all..what was the point of that one question interview.

    He was being rushed for time clearly.
