3-1 in play just to win

IrishSkyBoxer

Gunnar getting his nut done in here. Sbg coming up short with this and the pendred mess. Some justice for Dave Jones.

cunnifferous

Controversial opinion: Gunnars striking isin't just 'unorthodox' its sloppy.

Utopia Parkway

Kavanagh saying that Story "knows he's losing the decision". Ummm...

Gunnar needs a stoppage to win , not looking likely

It could be all square, but gunni is in trouble

JK must be watching a different fight to me. He's just told gunni to do the same thing he's been doing because story is losing the decision.

Terrible corner work

It helps the main event stand out from the rest of the card and gives it a sense of importance. It lets the rest of the card build up to "the big one" so to speak. And as you said, it's great for the fans.

Yeah exactly, in terms of the event it makes sense. But in terms of competing in the sport it makes no sense, what's the significance of 2 top 20 WW's fighting 2 extra rounds? Zero.

mailburner

gunni 4/1 to win this fight with a minute left in round 4


story was 3/1 to win the fight after round two, i took both

I'd say the odds on a lot of fights go like that, might be something I'll keep an eye on in the future.

Why does it need to have significance? It's a spectator sport and it gives the people what they want.
Not everything has to make perfect sense. Just sit back and enjoy it.

Tippex

Story wins it for me.

Utopia Parkway

Gunni's first loss I fear. Just couldn't keep Story on the ground and Gunni's sloppy striking exposed the longer the fight went on.

That_Guy

Story has that fight for me. Stuck to Nelson like glue. Great pressure fighter.

Amazed that Kavanagh and co didn't think Nelson was losing the fight.

Glock Lesnar

Gunnar beats Story 50-45 via being McGregor's mate.

peteeeed

Strange advice from kavanagh at the end of the 4th

Wrongway1985

Story wins too I fear

something similiar happened last week
after round two, howard v ebersole, ebersole was 7/2
it was a round each imo and a very even fight
i couldnt even get a tenner on with ladbrokes for that one and they
were the only ones doing it live as far as i could see, 4 euro max is all they offered

be great if more did live betting for these

Zero-Cool

Yupp Story takes it I'd say. Gunni has some chin!!

csallmighty

Too happy to stand with the better striker. No urgency to take it to the ground where he should taking the fight.

peteeeed

50-44? Wow

MarkJD

Story... Unfortunatley Gunni didnt throw enough..

That_Guy

50-44???? What?!?

raze_them_all_

story won but 50-44 is a terrible call from the third judge

Zero-Cool

50-44!!!!

El Guapo!

Correct decision there.
I'd say Gunni will learn a lot from this and come back stronger.

CurryFlavoured

Fair win for Story, I had him 49-46. 50-44 is mad, some judges are nuts.

MarkJD

50-44... wtf!

I've never bet on MMA in play before, might try it with bovada or one of the other US bookies, don't think the usuals are too big into it.

Wrongway1985

Oh me word 50-44 who was that eejit

mailburner

hats off to gunni, how on earth he took too many punches is beyond me
man has a concrete chin
story only been stopped once in 25 fights (by sub) so we know exactly
how tough story is

EuskalHerria

It always bad when a hard to call fight, is stil difficult to fathom after the scorecards.

Glock Lesnar

50-44 wasn't that outrageous, the knockdown was worthy of a 10-8 and I don't think Gunnar won any rounds clearly.

Gumbi

50-44. The knockdown round is deserving of a 10-8, but 5 rounds to 0? What a joke. Still the correct decision I feel.

CurryFlavoured

Once Gunni couldn't keep him on the ground it was going to be tough.

Cyber Ghost

Last judge was the only one who got it right.

Gunnar was hopeless.
But I never bought into the hype. He was crap against Cummings in the last fight and Jorge Santiago had hiom rocked badly a few times. I remember thinking that decision could go against Nelson.

Nelson was exposed badly just like McGregor would have been if he didn't land that lucky punch against Dustin.



Mod: Banned for a week for trolling.

El Guapo!

Gunni is a gentleman. One of the most gracious and humble fighters I've ever seen.

TimRiggins

Did he just say "We have not seen the last of Rick Storey"???

That was always gonna be his achilles heel in this division. Him being smaller and weaker the the 170 pounders who have good wrestling it was always going to be hard to work his top game.

Lol troll.

Dan Hardy you knob haha!

Axwell

Gunni is without doubt one of the most humble people to ever step in the cage, no excuses and took it on the chin, literally.

Yeah sure buddy, what about the punch before that one and the one before that.

Poor advice from the corner but I don't think Nelson could have dont anything different.

EuskalHerria

The face on Hardy when he realised his mistake.

I thought he looked small compared to Story. Story's a big WW but if he wants to push on he's going to be competing with guys that size consistently. I imagine he doesn't cut much weight.
