Arshavin Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Aye Covington was the obvious fight to make then maybe Till fighting them down the line but they seem to have skipped Colby for some reason! Agreed on the fights v Wonderboy getting influenced by his counter style. I thought Till done well against him with attacking the front leg in brutal fashion. Till doesn't seem scared either so could have potential for a decent fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t lie would like to see him back in the octagon again not sure how that would go but either way. The guys circus bores me.No point denying though that his fights are pretty much always good win or lose apart from the Mayweather farce. Him v Khabib is so intriguing though for me Khabib by far the superior MMA fighter but Conor could well counter him coming in and end the fight.

vegas-voss Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 4 hours ago, Lord BJ said: I like him, I find it hard not to admire someone who has gone from an unemployed plumber to the biggest fighter in MMA by a country mile. That impressed me not just because he is an exceptional fighter but a exceptional business man and promoter. I don’t particularly care if he wins or loses but I wanted to see what happens. I am huge khabib fan and I jumped on the bandwagon right at the start (I may have even suggested to yourself he was the man when Petis on top) . His top game is unbelievable and rentkess I struggle to think of anything like it. Kevin Lee and Covington are close but different styles of top game more traditional wrestling. My initial reaction kgabib grabs him and rag dolls him for 5 rounds. However, mcgregor is a underrated fighter for me (because of that circus that surrounds him) his timing and precision are unrivalled imo. If you look at people who fought him mendes, Alvarez to name a couple were shocked by it. That left hand is a thing of beauty and his striking is just so sharp and he uses things like distance, combinations and angles like very fighters I can think off, I have heard john kavangh really say they fancy there chances, that I think is telling. For example they would rather face khavib than Ferguson. (I think Ferguson much easier match up as he takes to give and will engage in a striking battle, another fight id like to see) Khavib boxing isbt great, he uses it to close distance and get takedown. That is much harder against someone like mcgregor due to his precision. I don’t know who wins but by god/budhaa/Alah I want to find out, if khavib v mcgregor next up who you got. As I said I really don't know.I think Khabib is the better fighter but his trying to walk through you style is made for Conor to counter him coming in but then Mendes got a hold of Conor and if that happens with Khabib then Conor is ****ed he will be completely exhausted and probably taken out in the 2nd round.Its just one of the most interesting fights I can think of for a long time in MMA.Who solves the problem each has is the winner in this one.I will go Khabib but would not be hugely surprised if Conor does it very early again.

davie1980 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 On 7/24/2018 at 17:49, Masonic said: wonder how long before he moves up in weight I think he's planning heading for the heavyweights ASAP. Talks of Bellew next. Think Bellew wants it back down at cruiserweight with the lure of the belts. Think Usyk wants it at heavy, because he sees Tony as an ideal stepping stone into the heavyweight division, 6'3", will probably weigh similar to him on fight night and is strong and has decent power. Hopefully Usyk absolutely dismantles over 11 embarrasingly one-sided rounds until Dave Caldwell throws in the towel On 7/24/2018 at 21:11, AlimOzturk said: Might not need the power if he can be a master of hit and not be hit. Looks like he has it. Anyways, don't need to be big to have power. Ask Tyson and Holyfield. You don't need to be big but Usyk doesn't carry power. He isn't heavy handed at 200lbs, so he'll have nothing to concern the top 6'6"+ world level heavies. So he is going to have to be immensely good at hitting and not being hit, because he not only has to outbox his opponents, he has to avoid being tagged by some monstrous punchers and he will also have to worry about them being able to effectively walk through his shots as he has little deterrent.

Judge Fudge Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Usyk boxes tall and smart, with the extra weight he is more than capable of testing every heavyweight out there. Great amateur pedigree and has been doing it on the road in people's backyards recently. His problem will be getting the big fights in the timescale he's planning. He will be ducked by the top guys for the time being. No surprise that Bellew is calling him out, it makes sense for both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the commentators made it sound like Whyte was doing better than he was, they seemed to pick holes in Parker in every round but Whyte had just as many issues he had no balance, kept trying to wrestle and lunge in with wild punches, Sky could do with finding the next Jim Watt to do a bit better and more balanced co-commentating.

Whyte made it closer than it had to be - he coulda just stood off Parker and picked him off after the knockdown but his desire to close the show with a KO almost cost him. Parker didn’t really offer anything apart from round 1 and the final 2 rounds for me. The other rounds were even to a degree in terms of the number of punches being thrown by both fighters but the more hurtful punches were being thrown by Whyte and so I can’t see how people would give Parker much quite frankly - even though it was a scrappy fight in a sense.

Mighty Mouse v Cejudo was such a close fight, had no idea which way was going to go. It was hard not to be happy for Cejudo when you see his reaction. Whilst Mighty Mouse took the defeat like the ultimate professional he is. Dillashaw fight went very similar to first just much shorter timescale. The thiago Santos fight was entertaining as well. Was happy to see Dillashaw win again though really can't take to Cody at all.As for Mighty Mouse they all get beat in the end.Cejudo should stick around at the weight he is at as I fancy Dillashaw to destroy him.
