This fight along with the Ohara Davies draw really put major concerns in my mind for future MTK events. Some of the judges cards are just not realistic.

Not illegal for one foot to leave the floor ! If it was Manny Pac would be in trouble!

I had Farooq edging it but that's hardly surprising.... The split decision for me doesn't seem like a 'robbery'... Great fight. We Scots tried to tell the rest of the boxing community how good this was gonna be but nobody listened.. :maybe:

Definitely can't call it a 'robbery', it was a close fight. I didn't score it but it seemed an even fight that could've gone either way.

I recall seeing him being warned for leaving his feet vs Mosley I believe it was. Can’t remember if it was one or both feet?

Yeh, was a successful MTK card on IFL, on top of that it was on BBC Scotland. Emirates arena was SOLD OUT!

It was a good event.. Hope the guys got paid well for their level.

Nobody seemed too excited by it on this thread in the lead up. Our next PPV is Nicola 'the surgeon' Sturgeon vs Jimmy 'my husband is a Paedo' Kranky in a ball humming contest.... They need to hum tv themes on each others balls..... First song is the Bill and first on to giggle is out...

It’s true mate was quite disappointed by the response to what was an incredible battle.

Everyone I was with said it was the best fight they’d seen live.

Both showed plenty of bottle and dug deep at times to Quote Lee he said he would have done anything to Win well he held fouled from round 2 and made the fight messy ...i gave him rds 1..7..11..12 but had Kash winning it by at least 3 rounds ...its done now maybe a rematch after a good recovery for both .. i would like to know the Refs view about it i wonder if they do a Refs Report on title fights like football Refs on match days ...

It's mental how they two youtube bummers done massive numbers yet two guys who are top of their game and meeting in a massive fight does barely nothing in comparison.... I get my kids most weekends. My oldest boy was in the kitchen watching that KSI wanker talk crap! It's fuckin nuts... I kept asking him what the appeal was and he couldn't even answer! Just hypnotised by the fuckin ramblings on the screen!!! :witzend:

I though the decision was ok. It could have gone either way. Very good fight.

It fell just sort of what I was expecting, which was a classics, because of McGregor's tactics He really should have been dealt a point deduction earlier in the fight, and another if he still persisted with the fouls tactics. From that point of view Farooq can consider himself hard done by.

No reason why this one can't go again.

I don’t know why he would of got warned, I’ve never seen both feet coming off the floor by any fighter and why would he get warned for taking one foot off the floor ? The foot Manny always lifted was the back one so makes little sense to me

Even in the build up. I know it’s a 7-0 vs. 15-0 so not hugely accomplished pros yet but everyone up here knew it was going to be great and it really was.
