    Farooq won clear even without the point off. Big big future for Farooq. The guy needs to be on Sky or BT.

    McGregor was a dirty dirty fighter. Mark my words. He got a gift there. Kash will make it to the top whilst McGregor will lose very soon because he is ****. He got battered and still got the decision against someone 2 weight classes smaller.

    Enough with the robbery talk.

    McGregor clearly won the last two rounds. The 10th was 9-9. No one should have scored that a 10-8 for Farooq. Lee won the 1st, edged the 4th Won the 7th soundly. The 2nd and the 8th were very close.

    I didn't score it for him. But it was closer than most of you thought it was.

    I had it 114-113 Farooq but too close a fight to class that as a robbery. Last card definitely too wide though...

    Farooq had McGregor hurt numerous times. Farooq outlanding him in probably 9 or 10 rounds. This was truly David vs Goliath. McGregor was huge in there, probably had 15 pounds more than Farooq tonight. 5ft 10in vs 5ft 5in with an extra 10 or 15 oounds to boot.

    And yet, still needed a complete full on robbery and then celebrated like a true POS.

    Flip a round or two, and a few were flippable. It goes the way of the Scotsman. Did the wrong man win, yeah, maybe. But not a robbery.

    Nah McGregor did finish strong. But Farooq had way too many rounds in the bag for him to actually win unless he got a KO. Not even a KD was enough.

    If you scored the punches that actually landed, yeah, he finished strong.
