AlimOzturk Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think Haye looked pretty good and there is no way Joshua will be going anywhere near him anytime soon. Haye is a very dangerous fighter and if he is anywhere near his best with an extra stone behind his shots, then he will be a threat to anyone in the heavyweight division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masonic Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 mitrione could have taken the draw in first or second round with eyepoke but he fought on like a warrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo_23 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 it was a punch that caused the swelling on mitriones eye. they showed a replay after the fight. After the second eye poke he just kept on fighting then after about 20secs told the ref he was seeing double , the guy has guts just wants a war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haye is a very dangerous fighter and if he is anywhere near his best with an extra stone behind his shots, then he will be a threat to anyone in the heavyweight division It'll be interesting to see who they put Haye up against next. He looks in good condition but it's hard to tell in 2 min against a fighter who is no doubt brave but clearly not on the same level. The Polish guy that Wilder was fighting would be a good opponent.

Regardless I like him and glad to see him back. Looked inpressive too, still quick at a heavier weight too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Who watched Pettis v Alvarez? I'm getting quite sick of fights where shitey takedowns that do nothing but run down the clock seem to score more heavily than actual heavy punches and kicks. Makes no sense to me. Alvarez looked pretty beaten up at the end of the fight but he hugged and tickled Pettis against the cage for about half the fight and he got the decision. He had 6 takedowns but none of them seemed to yield any significant damage. I'm not 100% saying that it was the wrong decision, I just didn't agree with it.

I think for the most part Dos Santos kept his cool but McGregor is relentless and by the end you could see he was starting to grate on him. Really interested to see how McGregor looks going into the fight without such a savage weight cut to deal with. If Dos Santos tries to stand with him he'll get messed up, if he follows Mendes's approach and gets him to the ground, I think he's got more about him than Mendes to finish it. Looking forward to 2 months of shit talking though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats if he fights his own fight and doesnt do what Conor tells him to like Aldo did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats if he fights his own fight and doesnt do what Conor tells him to like Aldo did. Yeah I don't think he'll let McGregor take the centre of the octagon from the off. I'd be intrigued to see a McGregor fight where he's up against it for a couple of rounds or is taking a pounding. For all the time Mendes had him down, he wasn't doing "real" damage with the elbows he threw. It was like chopping at a tree with a butter knife. I'm not sure it'll be a Lawler/McDonald style brawl though, as incredible as that could be to watch. Not the same buzz for me as the Aldo fight but it's still fascinating to see how it plays out. The rest of the card for 197 looks good so far as well. Holm will get a bit of a harder time off Tate, she won't have to worry about someone stomping around the ring after her.

Generic Username Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Has McGregor ever won a fight by submission? Is he any good on the ground? Not in the UFC if memory serves me right. One of his pre-UFC losses was to Joe Duffy via submission. He's not really geared towards defence of a takedown but he's shown before he's able to roll with the game on the ground and get back to his feet. Very different fighting an all rounder to fighting guys like Mendes/Dos Santos who have a wrestling background. He trains with Gunnar Nelson who's excellent on the ground but as his last fight showed, nowhere near "elite" level jiu-jitsu. It's another classic example of "styles make fights" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he needs to gain weight to do so. He'd be fighting guys who cut weight to make 170 and thirty hours after weigh in are rehydrated and re-fed back up to 185 or so. Guys who probably walk about off season at 190+ easy. He just wouldn't have the power at that level, as said above.
