ri Alban Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) 43 minutes ago, Costanza said: Not sure I see the point as result would be the same. Nor as Eddie Hearn wants, Beterbiev v Callum Smith (stopped by Canelo so would have no chance). The only fight out there at LHW that needs made is Beterbiev v Bivol. Tough one to call that. There career trajectories and weights mean this won't happen but Beterbiev v Usyk would be exceptional going by their amateur fights. Only man to beat him(Usyk), is he not? I'd just like AY to earn some good money. One punch, as we seen , changes everything. Edited January 29, 2023 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 1 minute ago, Lord BJ said: McGregor returning to UFC. He will coach TUF against Michael Chandler, who he will then face in August. I predict an exciting race to see who gases first. Will be interesting to see weight fight takes place at. McGregor doesn’t look like he’s getting to LW anytime soon, maybe catch weight. My two favourite UFC fighters. It's brilliant they are doing TUF. I didn't expect CM to ever do that again. Faber/McGregor was brilliant.

ri Alban Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 46 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: It should be a good knock as their styles compliment each other. Though goes past the first, it will be too like two exhausted drunks fighting. Undoubtably, will being tuning in TUF for first time in forever. Early days but who you got? It’s in Saudi. I’ve never seen either fight properly but the little bits I have seen. I’m not convinced Fury wins, he doesn’t look a very good boxer to me. Chandler is brilliant to watch, but he is too easy to hit, so I expect Conor to connect. First round McGregor, Just! Tommy Fury has the most lethal upper cut you will see, outside the elite. I expect him to use it to put Jake out the count. But I tip my hat to the Pauls, they're doing fantastic for themselves. Logan is pretty good and I I expect him to fight in the UFC. He was chucking Paulo Costa all over the shop in sparring. And he's no wimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 50 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: Looking forward to it. I’m going Volkanski to the beat the pound stretcher Khabib. I think he manages to keep this on feet and Volk picks him a part. Think he uses his speed to basically get to punch first. I appreciate my UFC predictions are crap. Volks is a little bowling ball of power. I don’t see weight difference as a massive issue. He’s fought at WW before and has naturally been much bigger than current size. I hope he wins anaw. UFC could do with less Khabib style fights and fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 37 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: It was a very good fight. Both came out with reputation weirdly improved albeit a good big man always beats a good little man. It was one of those where I could have understood any result, albeit think it was the right result. Think Volkanski destroys Yair. Yair gets hit too easily and Volkanski will have speed advantage. Hard to see who beats Volkanski at 145lbs, Arnold Allen would be very interesting. Mackachev, probably face Dariush next I imagine. Though if McGregor slaps chandler about that could be sla possibility from money perspective. Though still not convinced McGregor see 155lbs again. Both I suspect he Mackachev wins easily. Loved it. Ismal isn't the invisible monster Khabib and himself proclaim he is. Conor beats him, he's nowhere near Khabib's ability and a sober, focused McGregor could beat Khabib. Conor is underrated, he's a brilliant MA, but the boxing malarkey ruined it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly know nothing about mma but I will jump in. First of all Khabib isnt a wrestler, he like many Dagastanis grew up with Sambo which is closer to Judo than it is wrestling. The fact that he has a great double leg and wrist control more than likely was there in part and honed at AKA training with guys like DC and Rockhold. His first 20 fights were against nobodies? no.. they were on his local circuit , its not record padding if he is taking every fight that becomes available to him within his means, in fact I would make the argument it makes it more impressive he then arrived in the UFC and picked off nearly all of the top contenders without taking a loss. On to the weight, having fought mma I can tell you nobody fights at their natural weight or will as long as weigh ins will take place the day before the fight people will cut. One Championship is the only organisation so far who has stepped up to combat this by testing for re-hydration. Its as embedded into the sport as wrapping your hands. I realise for the Conor generation hes the be all of mma but in reality he never defended a title and besides Aldo and Alvarez who are his notable wins against .... Chad Mendes on a two week fight camp? Denis Siver? Donald Cerrone with one foot in retirement ? . I mean you could argue a young Holloway but does he beat him now? we know he doesnt beat Poirer now. His personality brought eyes to the sport arguably prob built it to its current popularity but in terms of talent Khabib was on a different level. Any lightweight in the top ten has a shot against him now. The smartest fight for him wouldve been a slugfest with Masvidal at WW , Chandler will ragdoll him in a similar fashion as Poirer did.

Beave1874 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Me and laddie bored so fired on the Mayweather fight out of curiosity. Feck me had the absolute horror of watching the 2 girls pre Mayweather. Was completely ridiculous, more like "Its a knockout" they would have been as well putting on inflated sumo suits. Could not believe this was billed as the co-main event, would call it amateur hour but that really is extremely offensive to amateurs. They even had some influencers ? doing the co-comms. As for the Mayweather he just danced around hit jabs, sat on top of the ropes in an exhibition to the fans. Place was half empty (if that), how that could produce any money and pay him anything half decent I will not know. He really is scraping the bottom of sh*t barrel now. To confirm it did not cost me anything to watch. Truly awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
