    Kavanagh sure loves the camera on him, few nice little glimpses on him checking to see if they are catching his pearls of wisdom to his fighter

    Being forced into a striking match is making Pendred look very sloppy. If he doesn't get the takedown here I think he'll be losing on points

    Yep.

    Sometimes people just can't pick up proper technique. Unfortunately for Pendred it's punching that he has a difficulty with. It's a testament to himself that he's got this far in his mma career tbh.

    Cathal is tough as hell but unless he substantially improves his striking and finishing abilities he won't have too many more fights in the UFC. He won't be able to grind down enough opponents at this level.

    Poor fight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    So don't punch. It's simple. If your striking is sub par, don't stand and trade. Take down every round. It's not pretty and it wont win you fans, but it will win you fights.

    How many fights left?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren

    Bollocks decision. Spencer was robbed blind!




    Not unhappy though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭Packoman


    Bit lucky there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,794 ✭✭✭raze_them_all_


    home town decision there tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 724 ✭✭✭jodaw


    I was hoping his striking might improve a little fight by fight. But he is getting worse if anything.

    His training partner is one of the best strikers at FW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,475 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Eh.. How?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,272 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    Unanimous decision win for Pendred.

    Errr...

    WTF was I watching a different fight???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 724 ✭✭✭jodaw


    Terrible decision and more false hope for Pendred. He is not a UFC level


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    30-27? No idea how he won the first round. Can understand 2,3 though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭jdbarry


    Holy Jesus!!!! Scandalous!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,652 ✭✭✭south


    How did he win that..anonymous decision??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭Mmmm_Lemony


    Not sure about that one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,391 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    Home town decision. Shocker.

    Dana and Joe laughing about it but I agree with the rest, Pendred will never make it at the top. He'll be done within a year unless the UFC protect him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭Oregano_State


    Jesus I dunno about that. The judges put big emphasis on the TDs.

    The other lad won imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭bluemachaveli


    Shocked TBH, delighted for him but undeserved!
