    Did you see the Bellator card the last day? The first main card fight, one of the guys is a gym owner but looked like he'd never been in a cage in his life - then either Goldie or Big John talked about how Stephen Graham was one of his fighters. Just made me laugh. It made sense.

    I seriously hope Gallagher's next fight is a proper challenge. I don't care if he wins or loses, but his last fight was a pathetic embarrassment.

    Bellator London June 22 looks worth a trip, Mousasi v Lovato Jr title fight, Daley fighting & a few of the Irish lads, Gallagher confirmed and curta/Kiefer are trying to get on it.

    40 Euro for flights ain't bad either.

    Awad v Girtz was genuinely a great scrap last night.

    Not a fan of this wierd new format though, pre-lims, main card, 'post-lims'.

    Anybody watching ONE? Dipping in and out of the fights until the big ones later. Tonon looked good. Easy takedown, great top control, ground and pound was good.

    Yod vs Andy Souwer up now

    EDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE :(

    not a good start to his one career


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,898 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    Brilliant from DJ as he most certainly did not have that all his own way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,781 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Taught Eddie was finished a bit easy, maybe his chin is starting to go from all the wars.

    DJ is a class act, one if the goats anyway

    Buzzing for the Sang fight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,781 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Bibiano just Arield his was to get his title back, he was guilty of his own illegal elbows in R1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,898 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    Good card. The relentless hype got a bit tiring but it was well put together.

    Daley is fighting Erik Silva, cracking fight. Someone will be going asleep.

    I heard he is stepping up in competition. Security guard from dunnes being drafted in.
    This is Gallagher's next opponent https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/19328-jeremiah-labiano



    He is coming down from Featherweight for this fight. They were scheduled to fight at Featherweight in 2017 but James got the knee injury.

    Really looking forward to Artem v Knight later though can't see JK not taking an easy win.

    Artem is a tough ****er, bare Knuckle might actually suit him better. To get wins that is, not for his long term health. Really hope he pulls off a big KO and calls out Paulie, get himself a nice payday.

    I love Artem but I just don't see him winning. His style is so limited and one dimensional that I never have confidence in him winning any of his fights.


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


    If Artem lands he'll get a KO. It's not like Knight is a slick boxer. He's a zombie who can take digs and keep going but Artem has such heavy hands I think he's Taylor made for someone like Knight who will just keep moving forward like he took that Rocky monologue to heart.

    Since when has Artem had heavy hands?

    Forever. It's one of his few talents along with being near impossible to hurt.
    His downfall is a lack of skill or movement but when he connects he hurts people.

    I know it's TUF but these were savage finishes.

    What time IST do ye expect him in the ring at ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭Never wrestle with pigs


    Well holy smokes that was a good slug fest. Might not have been the most technical fight nut a good show. Artem is one tough bloke. I don't see Malignaggi stepping in with him. He might be a better technical fighter but Artem would completely wreck him in a bare Knuckle fight. Who was the bloke in Artems corner with the mask over his face like he didn't want to be seen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭cletus


    Think it was James Gallagher

    Thought that. He mustn't be aloud to be there.
