IFinal scoring was exactly right. Till won rounds 1 and 4 but clearly lost the other three rounds.

I don't think he won the 4th and more clearly that he lost the 5th.

Whitaker landed more strikes in both rounds. (13-8, 17-12)
Till land more headshots in the 5th. (10-6), where as Whitaker pipped him in the 4th. (7-6)

The takedowns in the 5th were likely HUGE in terms of the scoring for Whitaker.
Scoring could have very easily have gone either way depending on judges personal weighting to takedowns and leg kicks.

The amount of groin strikes was amazing in this event

Great matchmaking especially for during Covid with Tucker v James. Tucker up againat it for the first 4 minutes then came back brilliantly.

Shades of Dada 5000 v Kimbo with that Weidman fight! They were both gassed!

Glad Weidman pulled out the win. Not pretty though!

Lewis "I gotta take a sh*t" lol

He's getting better all the time, has a great rapport with most fighters too.
It's impossible not to respect the man though as a fighter and commentator.

Definitely respect him as a fighter and he's a nice guy, he's just a bit dry on commentary for my liking. Not quite as bad as cruz, but very stiff.

There's been a lot of quick fights. Swanging and banging and a few subs.

Two crazy comebacks last night.

Perhaps a controversial opinion but another boring edgar fight added to the list

Fight was a cracker.

Whole card was really really good. That Jones come back was a thing of beauty!

Lesson for your man to keep going until the ref stops you

Cifers gassed bad from trying to finish that fight In the first fight what a comeback.

Jesus martin whaling like a banshee.

That armbar was beautiful, Viana is also beautiful.

This cards been great.

Bar all the screaming.

caceres by sub is pretty rare

4 subs so far, will cummins make it 5?

Hopefully Lawler calls it a day soon before he takes much more damage.

The prelims were really solid, main card not so much, apart from Lamas v Algeo.

Lawler and Smith both looked really poor. Where do either of them go after that.

Watched the last 3 fights this morning.

Thought pereira looked excellent against Imadaev. Made Imadaev look an amateur in the striking department even though he was a very good amateur boxer himself.
Although checked pereira record and it isn't great, does he have the potential to mount a challenge in this division?

Thought OSP was again just too good for his opponent, was OSP not coming back from Covid?

Overeem vs sakai was a very enjoyable fight, some pace for a heavyweight bout. Sakai landing the more shots but overeem seemed to do more damage with his strikes. Take down in 4th by overeem resulted in lots of damage for sakai. Did well to survive to the bell then I was glad the ref stopped it early enough in the 5th before it would have been a round of ground and pound.

For anyone watching the FightPass prelims tonight - did Bruce Buffer kind of stutter/repeat himself at the start of the Barbarena-Ivy fight? I've never heard him make an error before so just wanted to double check.

They're making such a big deal about Angela Hill being the first African-American to headline a card. Guessing the first female.
Apologies, maybe it's a big deal to some people but it feels like they are grasping at straws to make this card seem relevant. Just seems like desperation to me.
Let the fighters do the talking in the cage.

hard to do anything to get anyone outside her own family excited
about this one I reckon



The card might end up being good overall but hill waterson as a headliner is a pretty bad one
