    What a fight!

    Goddard must have had a few quid on the fight going the distance.


    38-38 going into the 5th
    48-46 Israel

    Even the commissioners were on their feet clapping in the middle of the 5th after the scramble and the triangle attempt.

    It was Kelvins to win or lose in the last minute of the 4th. Why in the name of god did he go for the TD???

    You would think the next fight has to be epic as well.

    Fair play to all of us who sat through the Alan Jouban fight to get to the Izzy v KG fight.

    After the Lamas fight I said I would never bet against Max, and I have tonight the odds are too good (win by KO).

    If Max loses I hope they don't show Baby Bless

    I just think Max's pressure and volume will be too much here!

    4th round stoppage

    i think max gets the stoppage late in the fight. paddy power has him 9/1 to win in the 4th.

    i cant take to kelvin dont know what it is. probably him with cejudos belt at the last fight was pure cringe. i think its an interesting match up but reckon the fight might be a snooze fest with israel grinding out a points win. either way i dont think either have what it takes to beat whittaker

    could i have been anymore wrong holy crap what a fight

    Dustin throwing huge bombs in round 1. Would worry he might blow himself out.

    I think Max's cardio might win this fight..

    Max's chin is ridiculous.

    Max was seeing stars for most of that round. Dustin having zero problem finding Max's chin whenever he wants.


    Max needs to be smarter

    Dustin has the power advantage but Max might win this on cardio alone but Dustin is hitting him pretty easily.

    Looks like it could go the way of Poirier’s fight against Gaethje. Max won’t be able to take damage like that for 3 more rounds, don’t care how good his chin is.

    Dustin two rounds up.

    Now it's all about whether Dustin has done enough damage to negate the fact that he's going to start slowing down badly from here on in. He finished the last round with his hands in his hips

    Poirer looks to be fading. Throwing more wildly.
