Well Mcgregor was making excuses about being out of the ring too long but truth is he was beaten by the better man with a great tactical fight targeting his lead leg a good win !

Wow, missed it, will have to have a watch

I think Diaz did him like that in their first fight if I remember rightly?

Watched the fight. CM ahead for me until he got caught. Respect though, both guys excellent strikers, caught CM and finished him. Opposite to the first fight!

Think the kicks to the leading leg could have troubled him, didn't think he was focused for me CM, did not look as sharp, the leg kicks could have held his attacks back? To be fair though, I don't think they were overly powerful and not enough to do damage, saying that, I don't feel them lol

I think he thought he could walk it and paid the price. Also the time out won't help

3rd time, could go either way, both can finish, I would put my money on CM

it was the reason he lost the fight IMHO his leg was dead
I see now he has said exactly that my leg was dead

if you notice he always throws his normally super accurate punches from that wide stance but he lost that wide stance by the 2nd round and his mobility and his punches were then missing the target
its certainly buggered up his career I would have though
so maybe the next big match would be Poirier v Diaz ????

I agree, I bet out of the two though Poirier looks like his face has been run over by a bus tomorrow

I can remember when Bisping beat Henderson, somehow lol !

I agree about the wide stance, the man has some serious power in that LH and he was not landing those devastating punches, did in the first, a nice elbow or two as well.

Gonna have to watch the second Diaz fight, think it was CM who did a leg job on him, can't remember?

I would have thought they would all want Kalib N back in the octagon to give him a fist lesson lol

Nice one

Two class fighters it could go either way just like CM and Diaz

I bet the front leg kick won't work the next time

27th February. Undercard of Carl Frampton on BT sports.

Nathan Heaney v Ryan Oliver.

Nathan says Ryan is technically sound but is ready.

Come on Nathan hope that you will continue to push forward in your career but above all else hope all come through their bouts safe and sound.

Just pleased that he's being able to get back in the ring in these unprecedented times. Whilst he's 30 now he's always working hard and looked after his body.

Shame that there is no fans allowed because there would have being a thousand turning up.

Well, I see Warrington lost, just about to watch it.

Just watched the Barret Martinez fight, was a complete and utter embarrassment that result. Martinez won that fight for me!

One of the judges cards, what was it 118, 110 against Martinez ffs. He should be banned from scoring a boxing match ever again # ****er

Sadly can be of the most corrupt sports in the world at times

Watched it on Sky Gerry, will see if I can find one later.

Watched the Warrington fight, not at the races, seemed disinterested if I'm honest, sure there is a reason, out for 12 months, couple of new kids, could have took its toll on his focus? His game his high tempo and on them, like a different fighter, hope he comes back as he was before

Hope all well Gerry btw



Edit, there you go Gerry WarringtonI

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
