OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VII

[KFlint]

Stevenson is done. Yeah, he isn't young anymore.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Stevenson is done. Yeah, he isn't young anymore.

Just won round 10, and is running away with the 11th...

 

[MD thaivuN]

11th round is a tale of two fights. Adonis came out strong, but then Jack lit the shit out of Adonis on the 2nd half

 

[LeHab]

Great 2nd half of the fight, wouldn't be surprised in a MD.

 

[MD thaivuN]

strong clinch wrestling performance from Jack. winning Underhooks, winning head positions. He should go to MMA

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

This could be a draw, it's pretty tight.

I was thinking the same thing, he's got some decent greco-roman skills going

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Yep, we've got a draw.

 

[MD thaivuN]

judges hate Badou Jack hahaha

 

[LeHab]

judges hate Badou Jack hahaha

Nah, was a close fight. Will be a rematch for sure.

 

[dinodebino]

Stevenson caught a break in the 10th. Changed the fight.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

It's a fair result. It was close.

 

[dinodebino]

And thank you guys for the link. Much appreciated.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Yes if badou didn’t get the KO this deserves a rematch

 

[dinodebino]

Rematch it will be. And Stevenson will knock him out early. This is what happens when you don't fight in a year and you're 40.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Man Stevenson was hanging on by a thread at the end of that 12th round.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Nah, was a close fight. Will be a rematch for sure.

def close, but the man has so much draws in his career. You could make an argument there's something that makes him not judge friendly. Tricking Judges is a skill too.

 

[KFlint]

I really thought he ran out of energy at some point but it seems fair indeed.

Man Stevenson was hanging on by a thread at the end of that 12th round.

Reminded me of Creed in the first Rocky lol

 

[MD thaivuN]

Maia vs Usman started just now

 

[dinodebino]

I want to see more of Beterbiev now. Enough already. And a Stev. Jack remstch in Mtl in August or Sept. Stevenson needs more work.

 

[G0bias]

If it wasn't for getting stung in the 10th (or was it 11th), Jack was probably walking away with it.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Pretty good for Usman to stall Maia out on the grappling

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Good first round for old man Maia, he even landed the best punches, which just never happens in his case.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Maia has a weirdly good sense of distance on the striking.
