Fight Fans: Mayweather vs Mcgregor

[Chris_]

what a load of boooolsh%t

 

Correct result for the sport but good grief entertainment value was the real loser.

[Stevief]

Cowboy was a disappointment he must hang up his boots. ( see what I did there)

 

But this has setup so many potential great fights

CM vs KAbib 2

Cm V Masvidal

CM V Usman

Cowboy still got fights left in him.  He's just not a top top fighter, just can't take that step up to the championship level, but can still fight any top 3-15 fighter and win, in entertaining fashion.  

 

Call him a gate keeper or whatever, but the man can still fight and more importantly (for Dana at least), can bring in plenty $$$ for the UFC.

But yes agreed with the potential match ups.  Khabib however won't be interested for a while and will decline any offers.  Conors best hope for light weight title is for Tony Ferguson to beat Khabib.  Ferguson will give Conor a shot.

 

Colby's still gonna be out for a while, think Conor wants to fight before then.

 

Masvidal would probably be the biggest money draw at this stage, given his 2019.  But like always, fighters will be lining up, begging Conor for a fight and that big payday.  Masvidal would make sense as he doesn't have an opponent lined up.

I think Dana just saw $$$$$$$ when Herb Dean called that. Conor coming back is going to make him even richer.

Really looking forward to see what Dana has lined up for Conor this year. 

 

But our next big fight to look forward to is our Local World Champion Kevin Lerena defending his belt on 8th Feb in Germany. DSTV are usually pretty on the ball with boxing and even show a lot of the smaller bouts so no doubt they will air this one. Can't wait to see Kevin retain that Belt.

Fight night. Supersport coverage has started. A few more curtain raisers and then it's LERENA time. He's keeping that belt!!!!

[Long Wheel Base]

And still the IBO CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. GOOD JOB KEVIN LERENA. 6TH round stoppage. Arslan team threw in the towel after a combination of pin point hits from Kevin. A few more seconds and he would have been lights out.

John Bones Jones manged to defend his legacy against Domink Reyes...... just.  Was a great fight one of the best ive seen.  2 unbelievable athletes giving and getting for 5 long rounds.  Reyes looks like he will be the next Light heavyweight champ.  Dana owes him a re match.

Not sure how that one ref scored it 49-46.  I had Reyes 3-1 going into the final round, but I guess to beat the champ, let alone the GOAT, you need a finish.  #dontleaveittothejudges

I actually scored the fight a draw.

First 2 rounds to Reyes 3 rd round i had a draw last 2 Jones was on top.

I felt though if there was another round or two Jones would of had him.  

But i agree the one judge at 49-46 was on drugs.

In my opinion the correct result was a draw.  But as you said to beat the champ you need to convincingly beat him.  Either way was a great fight but UFC needs to seriously look at how judges score fights.

Or don't set the fight to 3 or 5 rounds. Fight till someone finishes................ Do away with judges.

Joe Rogan actually brought this up.  He said why do we even have rounds?  Just let them fight until there is a winner.

Look I think a break is good, especially if blood has been drawn, it gives the medic guy a chance to clean it and cover it in vaseline. On another note, what is that block thing they use to like push down on a swollen eye or cheek? Is it cold?

Yes its like icing a bruise.  Stops the swelling

[Spurs]

One of the best suggestions that's been doing the "rounds", is to have open scoring, i.e. let the fighters know what the score is after each round.  Imagine fighters knowing for sure they are 2-2 going into the final round?  Reyes may not have had much left in the tank in the 5th, but he sure as hell would have emptied the tank had he known that it was the deciding round.
