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.

That's it, you don't have to be amazing at everything. This wasn't that fight, and while I'm happy Cathal got the win he really didn't deserve it; he was outclassed

Feel bad for Spencer. Not comfortable at all seeing a decision as bad as that, tbh. This is their livelihood, and they're making calls like that.

Luke92 · 19-01-2015 02:55AM

Bad judging!

Dick phelan · 19-01-2015 02:55AM

What a robbery i wanted Pendred to win but he clearly lost, disgraceful and some people have the cheek to slag boxing as corrupt same **** with UFC.

Joe24 · 19-01-2015 02:55AM

Hate to say it but that was a robbery

19-01-2015 02:55AM

Joe and Dana saying he was robbed too.

GottaGetGatt · 19-01-2015 02:55AM

thats a joke of a decision, he was owned

TherapyBoy · 19-01-2015 02:56AM

Wow, unbelievable..

Cathal got some voodoo black magic on the judges, bad decision.

Mmmm_Lemony · 19-01-2015 02:56AM

Pendred had his hand up before it was called!

CaptainInsano · 19-01-2015 02:56AM

Playing to the Irish crowd, joke.

Wrongway1985 · 19-01-2015 02:56AM

29-28 at a stretch, No way 30-27 madness. Stand up shocking as usual really needs to improve

manual_man · 19-01-2015 02:56AM

had him to win a split decision. other fella didn't do enough. hardly scandalous. take-downs all important, will need to improve for his next fight tho

kumate_champ07 · 19-01-2015 02:57AM

BleacherReport had all 3 rounds to Spencer

jodaw · 19-01-2015 02:58AM

Pendred gets the decision to keep the King in good spirits. Seriously its getting more WWE by the day...

Would Jose still fancy fighting Conor in Ireland??? After that if Conor makes the final bell he could get the belt regardless

:D:D

GAAman · 19-01-2015 02:58AM

Pendred should have been wearing a balaclava!

Utopia Parkway · 19-01-2015 02:59AM

How 2 judges gave Cathal the first round is a mystery. He was close to being knocked out at one point.

19-01-2015 03:00AM

TWO 30-27S? Unbelievable! What a joke. I'm glad he won but that was ridiculous.

The judges are an independent body working across different organisations nothing to do with the UFC can't blame them for the poor decisions a good chunk of the same judge in pro boxing too you clearly didn't know that

:D:D

Genuinely think you could take anyone with 6 months in any of dublins boxing clubs and they would knock out Pendred

Tbh when I saw his eyes go back in his head I thought there was no way he was gonna win. I thought that through the whole fight, madness!

Not sure what Spencer did to win round 3, I'd have given that one to Cathal as Spencer slowed down terribly and Cathal was at least trying to win the fight. 30-27 is farcical though. Round 1 was definitely Spencer's, no question. Round 2 depends on the judges and how valued the attempted submission was, I'd have given it to Spencer but can see the home advantage there.

He's been training years at SBG and got a contract in the UFC. Does'nt add up does it?

Totally agree with this! the other guy just wasn't busy enough.

the nikkei is rising · 19-01-2015 03:04AM

I can't get over the attempted step, it's a rugby thing which has no practical application to Mma

I thought it threw Spencer off a little actually, so ridiculous it confuses those who haven't seen its like! :pac:

Kirby · 19-01-2015 03:06AM

Jaysus there comes a point where he needs to tone it down a little.

We've been saying that after every Pendred UFC fight though...

A split decision is when one judge gives the fight to the opposite fighter to the other two judges. ...So you were going to disagree with yourself?!

FrostyJack · 19-01-2015 03:06AM

In fairness he could have won the 2nd with takedown and the 3rd was anyones. He score way more hits if you include leg kicks. Not the worst decision ever. Joe was calling it wrong, focusing on head punches. He was right about his head movement and boxing though. Would say shocking but it was the same as all his UFC fights. For health and safety reasons he needs to work on that.
