The Aldo McGregor fight has anti-climax written all over it, both will be desperate not to lose that fight. Still looking forward to it mind, like a dumb fan I'll pay for the inevitably ****e match up. If I had to pile big money on one man I'd be more comfortable putting it on Aldo, I just feel he's more prepared mentally for it.

On a separate note, I love the fact that Anthony Joshua is keeping his feet firmly planted and remains humble and knows he's got a **** load of work ahead to become a great, he hasn't had his head turned yet and I hope he never does, he should look at Red Carpet Rousey for all the proof he needs that things go bad when you take your eye off the ball.

Not sure if Id agree hes mentally more prepared than Mcgregor like mate. I think Connors done a great job of getting inside Aldos head.
We've also got the Klitschko and Fury fight coming up aswell so we've got a great few weeks of fighting coming up !

And Joshua fighting on 12/12 as well mate.

Hope Fury gets his canister caved in to be honest, busy head butting melons the daft sack of ****. He'd be begging for that Joshua fight if Klitschko puts his lights out.

Quality mate. I just need to think of a way of kicking my lass and the boys out the house every Sat night for about a month so I can invite the lads round for a few beers to watch it all with me <confused>:emoticon-0138-think

Too busy modelling, acting, giving interviews bitching about people.

Rousey is unbelievable, regardless of this result but this shows she's very human. When she thought she was better than that.

She got complacent, over confident, distracted, knocked the **** out.

Nice to see given her performance at the weigh in :emoticon-0137-clapp

And after she wouldn't touch gloves at the start of the fight. Always found her fairly likeable until a couple of months ago and I'd just seen too much of her, think she's over exposed herself without having much to go with it.

Think she's a very talented twat now to be honest.

Can't help you there mate. If it was me, I'd probably drop sly hints in her ear "Your mum misses you, you should go and see her, stay over, here's £20 get yourself a couple of bottles of Prosecco and stay over".

She fought the wrong tactics. On the ground she is almost unbeatable, you don't win a judo bronze medal easily, when it comes to grappling she will beat just about anyone, so why she tried to box against a boxer is beyond me. I am sure there will be a re-match and if she gets Holm on the ground she will win.

You have to say this opens up a massive re-match and if she wins and even bigger 3rd fight. Then a possible match against Cris Cyborg. The money for all those matches will be frightening, this could be the best thing for the sport and her career earnings.

She did manage to get hold of Holm a couple of times but she managed to wriggle out of it. Felt she was outclassed personally.

By the way, 11/8 on Aldo to beat McGregor is a steal imo, for me Aldo is nailed on.

I'm so looking forward to Klitschko Fury! I'd love to see Klitschko knock him out in the first round, and he probably could, but it will probably be a painstakingly boring fight with Klitschko winning about 10 of the 12 rounds.

Furys got the Blue print of how to beat him apparently <laugh>.
I think it'll defo go to at least 10 rounds.

I can't wait for the Joshua vs Whyte fight aswell. That has the potential to be a great fight !

Fury's a loud-mouthed prick. I think he'd beat Joshua though who for me is overrated and won't go to the very top as many seem to think.

Can't see Dillion Whyte being the man to do it but sooner or later someone will stop Joshua. Might be Fury, might be before he even gets that high.

Agreed. I'll probably bet big on this as well. I'm very confident about Aldo.

I disagree, I think Joshua looks the real deal, Fury will not beat Klitschko. Interestingly David Haye has been talking about a come back. He could fight Klitschko and that would set up a massive British world title fight with him and Joshua. Bit of a fantasy really as I can see Haye beating Klitschko either.

I've yet to see anything from Anthony Joshua to suggest his defence is good, so until I see that, I'll not be able to make an informed opinion on whether he'll dominate the sport.

What I have seen, he's a nasty bastard inside that ring and he doesn't care about really hurting his opponent, he quick, strong and built like a Challenger 2. He will have to face somebody soon, who will fight him back and that could make him reach to new levels of nastiness or he could get checked out. He's humble, well grounded and focussed, he's naturally athletic and isn't worried about things other boxers might be preoccupied with, such as nutrition, he eats what he wants when he wants.

I think he might be looking at a rung lower than Fury for his next fight, somebody like Chisora perhaps, but no more journeymen please AJ, it's time to step up after you've minced the **** out of Whyte's face.

When I win a bet I like to put a stake on something well in the future. Normally I forget about it and then if it wins I get a pleasant surprise in my account!

Won 60 betting on Ireland-1 last night so put 20 on Aldo (that's betting big for me! haha)
