    Night of surprises. The element of surprise has struck tonight.
    Johnson is still a beast. Kovalev is still a beast. I love the fight game when the best fight the best.

    He was never gonna be the same after Ward 2...He folded too easy without returning dirty tactics against him, gave up imo..I was worried about this fight with EA..Kov needs to retire now

    Hes definatly not the same. I think hes hit his limit. He is close to being shot. He dont look it but push him at a fair pace and survive him for half a fight and hes got hardly anything left for the 2nd half and his punch resistance seems to go out the window all together. I have heard rumours throughout his career about his lack of comitment to training and thats hes always been a hard drinker. That is going to bring on early aging.

    The result from the UFC?? errrrrr i dont know who those guys are.

    Before the KO you could see what was gonna happen..Kov getting out jabbed at times, and looked to me like he was going through the motions with no confidence !

    What a **** night. For DJ to lose like that was ****ing ******ed, especially if you look at what rounds the judges ended up scoring to who. Then Kovalev’s career is ended and 1/2 of the big 4 LHW belts go to Groupe Yvon Michel who are just going to hold the WBC and WBO belts hostage and cherry pick the **** out of opponents for Alvarez and Chickenson.

    Also saw TJ rightfully whip that ass again, Cody never deserved a rematch. TJ was a champ with successful defenses, and lost (I think he won) by split decision and had to fight his way back to the title over 2 1/2 years. Little douche Grabrandt gets KTFO at the start of round 2, with no successful defenses before and gets a immediate rematch, complete bs, sweet vindication for Killashaw.

    Cody is a meathead, he could beat TJ if only he wasn't so emotional in there, if he only stuck to throwing quick 2-3 punch combinations instead of windmilling till he knocks him out or he gets knocked out. TJ is a much smarter fighter which allowed him to win

    To say Henry Cejudo is a good wrestler is putting it mildly. :lol:

    TJ has beat Cody both times by KO 1st & 2nd round, to say Cody can win is wrong at this point. He has never proven so, where as TJ has proved he can beat Cody emphatically every time, #1 Killashaw is just better, #2 has proven he has Cody's number.

    I personally think TJ has ruined Cody across their two fights with each other -- mentally, more than anything else.
