    Can't wait for this...Reyes I think has a chance but I don't think he's
    quite ready for the puzzle that is jon jones just yet.
    Could see him picking up a round, two at a push...


    I like Katlyns confidence but I just can't see how she beats the second best fighter in the worlds...Valentino by murder

    Latifi has a shot for me even though a big underdog

    Two title fights but I don't see the womens one being much of a contest.
    Rest of it looks weak enough, prelims as weak as I've seen for a ppv card and not a whole lot better/worse than the mc gregor cowboy card

    Mod: Poll fixed.

    Honestly it looks weaker than the McGregor V Cowboy card. Or equally bad anyway.
    Not much interest in ANY of the prelims.

    Bektic v Ige has FOTN potential.
    Think Black Beast will be far too powerful for Latifi.
    Juan Adams. Meh.
    Valentina steamrolls Chookagian.
    Jones outpoints and outsmarts Reyes.

    Tough to get excited about a Jon Jones card. Unless he actually loses. Then I'll be retroactively excited.

    Better card than McGregor thats for sure.

    Looking forward to the main event I actually think Reyes has a decent chance but I fancy Jones by decision.

    You really think so? Seems a bit forced tbh.

    Which fights do you find interesting? (outside of Jones and Valentina obviously)

    What are the chances of him being beaten?
    I don't know anything about Reyes apart from the 12/0 headline but I happen across a face-off pic yesterday and he looked taller which is a nice change for Jones opponent. I can't watch anything Jones related so I'll be avoiding this, it'd be good if he got a spanking though.

    Hopefully a Reyes KO.


    I fancy the Decision Queen Chookagian to win...via decision.

    Valentina the pick of tonight for me Love watching her fights

    Yeah, Shevchenko is probably most exciting female to watch. Black beast is either great or gasses out. But after than I think it takes a nose dive fast. Probably just catch the main card.

    20% think Reyes will beat Jones, how and why?

    Also, an even longer shot: but is anywhere likely to be showing the fight in town tonight? Could get dragged to leeson st. later but I really want to see the fight, I was just going to go home early instead but it could be a great night.

    Jones , Shevchenko and Lewis all by decision 38/1

    For what it’s worth the bookies think he has a 20% chance of winning also.

    Which fight do you want to watch? The main card doesn't start til 3AM.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    Quiet in here! No-one bothering with this one?

    watching and laughing at rogan and cruz saying the judges werent even looking at the womens fight in main pre lim, and were just talking to each other instead of watching. not sure lewis won his fight either could be some weird decisions tonight. hoping bektic takes this one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,405 ✭✭✭weemcd


    I don't see how you can score the Lewis fight as anything other than rd 1 & rd 3 for Lewis and rd 2 Latifi. Latifi started well in the third, but did no damage, by the end of the round Lewis was landing big punches and could have had him out of there. Zero problem with the scores.

    Hopefully we get a ko here to speed this card up.

    you're prob right and i was just being swayed by rogan, yep please lets get a quick 1st round ko.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,405 ✭✭✭weemcd


    Quick KO as I had hoped with the heavies, serious uppercut there from Tafa.

    Shevchenko was absolutely ridiculous there, it was like a professional versus an amateur. Glad the referee stopped it, was only ever gonna go one way. She's ****ing brilliant.

    Great first round. Let's go Reyes!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    I have reyes 3-0, crazy Jon needs a finish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    Could be 2-2 tbh


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


    Reyes is 3 - 1 up for me going into the last. But he looks shattered. If he survives this round, he should be the champ.


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


    3 - 2 Reyes for me. I think he has done it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    I just think they'll find a way to give round 2/3 to Jones.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    Jones done very little, lots of forward pressure but completely outstruck and lost the wrestling. It'll still be close though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    49-46?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    What a joke, Jesus.
