    I don't think he clearly won the 4th round at all.

    Yep I had till winning only 1 round, the first.

    I know nothing though as I had Till win 0 rounds against wonder boy

    I don't think he clearly won the 4th round at all.
    It was pretty clear but I can see how you mightn't think that.
    The reason he won that round was the cleaner strikes. He caught Whittaker with a few really clean strikes in that round. Whittaker caught him a couple of times too but only two of his were clean strikes.

    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.

    He's could go all the way. But he's fought nowhere near top level guys yet. There's a huge difference between holding down a guy with little to no wrestling and doing it to an Div 1 wrestler.

    Absolutely, but you'd have said the same about Stylebender. Some of them just look to "have it" and to me that's Chimaev at this point. Every chance it comes to nothing, but at this point he's pretty scary.

    Yep and looking at guys ranked around 10-15 I think chimaev gets through them with ease.

    Gerald Meerschaert vs Ed Herman has been scrapped from tonight’s card.

    Meerschaert tested positive for COVID-19 and has been pulled from the event.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    Ha.. Dominic Cruz compliments a second ref tonight for not stopping a fight. Scarred for life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,755 ✭✭✭Inviere


    Shahbazyan didn't look too impressive, ran outta steam pretty early on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Beersmith


    The amount of groin strikes was amazing in this event


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,649 ✭✭✭Whelo79


    What a crazy end to that round with Tucker v Jaynes.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    What a fight


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    Felder is so good in commentary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,386 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Weidman scrapes it still a shadow of his former self off the horsemeat diet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭The White Feather


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

    Glad Weidman pulled out the win. Not pretty though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Huge KO for the Black beast! Most KOs in the UFC heavyweight division now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    Surprised it's been so quiet here tonight. No thread, so I guess I'll post here.. Looking forward to see how Sean O'Malley does here.

    Not great so!

    Create a thread....better to make one than me having to deal with reported posts tomorrow.

    Lads I have created an event thread..it literally takes 2 seconds. Post there if you want to discuss it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Tonight one of those cards that looks dirt but will probably turn out to be a banger. Think Edgar goes for a nap then retires.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,649 ✭✭✭Whelo79


    OSP out tonight due to a positive covid test.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Possibly the worst card on paper I can ever remember seeing. But still going to watch it live and hope the unknowns can deliver some fun fights.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Wow!!! One of the best comebacks I have seen in a fight. 10-8 round, could have been stopped and he gets a TKO Rd 2. Impressive!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,649 ✭✭✭Whelo79


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

    You were half right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Beersmith


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Wow what a great first round to kick off this card.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


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

    Jesus martin whaling like a banshee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,891 ✭✭✭SlowBlowin


    That screaming, made me spill my Jamesons...

    That armbar was beautiful, Viana is also beautiful.

    This cards been great.

    Bar all the screaming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Ah lads bruce Leeroy shaved his head


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,923 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    caceres by sub is pretty rare

    4 subs so far, will cummins make it 5?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,891 ✭✭✭SlowBlowin


    I thought it a pretty weak card, but I have really enjoyed it so far...

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Beersmith


    What was lawler thinking in that 1st round trying to grapple, bizarre tactic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,434 ✭✭✭Homelander


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Only a 7 card fight tonight, bit mad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,095 ✭✭✭hawaii501


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,478 ✭✭✭Brussels Sprout


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,923 ✭✭✭✭mailburner

    I knew he called the wrong winner before but I couldn't remember the fight so here it is

    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

    It might end up being a decent fight, it's just a bug bear of mine that they use that agenda to try and push it.
    I already gave kudos to both women for accepting a 5 rounder on such short notice. Talk about the styles, not their race.
    Anyway, hopefully some good fights ahead. Probably won't stay awake for the main event like I usually do.

    Looking forward to watching Billy Quarantillo. I think he's a future contender. Expect Turner to easily win here, Brok Weaver is awful.
