Got a bad feeling Volk is getting knocked out tomorrow.

Don't see it.

Volk has great fight IQ. Expecting incremental adjustments as he did in subsequent Holloway fights.

Lopes is tough and scrappy, but Volk outworks him everywhere.

Not so confident for the Hangman, but that'll be wild no matter which way it goes.

Lopes is going to be more confident this time around i reckon. As good as Volk is, and i love the bloke, i think time is catching up with him sadly. Hopefully he can win this one. He deserves a win in a big fight on home soil.
 
JDS need to hang em up, too many wars over the years.
Diaz just needs to humble up cos he got wrecked.
Rousey don't ever step into an octagon (or hexagon) again
 
Usyk vs Verhoeven was a farce with the ref stepping in like that. Verhoeven earnt the right to carry on to the final round. Ref absolutely ruined it.

Verhoeven robbed of the chance despite winning most of the rounds up until round 11.. Usyk definitely off the pace

No , I disagree .
He got a long break after he spat out his mouth guard and looked barely with it .
He took 4 or 5 un unanswered punches to the head from the Champ .
The refs job is to protect the fighters . He was only going to get more battered .

A boxing fight is judged on individual rounds . There is no he did good last round , but got beaten badly this round he deserves another .
10 - 9 must system .

Verhoven was outstanding . But he has spent his life / career kick boxing .
He was out on his feet . And could have been badly hurt by more undefended punches .
Usyk took the opportunity when it came .
 
That seemed a bit dodgy getting his eye checked in the way they did. That gave Ilia extra time to recover. His face is a mess though.
 
Topuria quits on his stool. JG the new champ. He made a huge mess of Ilia's face.
