maverick1200 2,828 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've finally watched the fight after avoiding the internet and whole country. What a fight! I had Carl winning by a couple rounds in the end, he had more eye catching shots as well. Very close fight, and thought LSC would actually get the home result. sausagetrunks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighouse 1,012 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Over the moon for Carl. The fight was such a pleasure to watch and could have the makings of a modern day Morales v Barrera trilogy. I'm coming round to the idea that Frampton has the beating of Rigondeaux too bluedylan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked far more healthier and fit at 126 and not drained like a zombie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've loved to have seen Lawler/Diaz 2, but I'll settle for Woodley/Diaz in New York. Lawler Diaz 2 and Woodley Wonderboy would be the 2 best fights for me Seems mental to hand Nick another title shot - he hasn't won since 2011 And yet, I would watch the shit outta that fight regardless Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7troop 187 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Absolutely delighted for Carl. Brilliant fight and to be honest I doubted whether he would do it. He was just so cool and controlled for most of the fight and given the disparity in terms of reach and volume of punches it is a truly fantastic result. Id like to see a big defence in Belfast Windsor park next summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 A change is coming... eventually. After the Athletic Boxing Commission (ABC) approved changes to the unified rules for mixed martial arts (MMA) on Tuesday (Aug. 2, 2016), MMA Fighting reports the new rules will not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2017. So, how exactly will the new rules affect the sport? Here is a small sample some of the changes: Grounded fighter A grounded fighter is defined as: Any part of the body, other than a single hand and feet touching the fighting area floor. To be grounded, both hands and feet, palm/fist down, and/or any other body part must be touching the fighting area floor. At this time, kicks or knees to the head will not be allowed. Extended fingers In the standing position, a fighter that moves their arm(s) toward their opponent with an open hand, fingers pointing at the opponent's face/eyes, will be a foul. Referees are to prevent this dangerous behavior by communicating clearly to fighters. Fighters are directed to close their fists or point their fingers straight in the air when reaching toward their opponent. Female clothing Female competitors must wear a short-sleeved (above the elbow) or sleeveless form-fitting rash guard and/or sports bra. No loose-fitting tops are allowed. Female competitors will follow the same requirements for bottom coverings as the male competitors, minus the requirement for groin protection. The new rules will also affect the judging criteria when it comes to scoring 10-8, rounds, as well as removing two fouls from the MMA Unified Rules, including heel strikes to the kidneys and the grabbing of the clavicle. http://www.mmamania.com/2016/8/3/12371370/new-mma-rules-including-eye-pokes-and-grounded-fighters-take-effect-january?_ga=1.258374284.727283023.1467757967 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you can't doubt the guys talent and professionalism. He seems a real nice guy and gentleman of the sport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
