    This fight reminded me of the Kash Farooq fight in that every time Lee McGregor landed, his opponent replied each and every time with more shots. McGregor started the fight with trying too much to land 1 big punch and it was not working and then in the latter rounds he started throwing combinations and had more success.

    Credit to Diego Ruiz, he got some balls and came to win. That man was on fire.

    To be honest, I though the last round could have gone to Ruiz too, but I actually thought I would get crucified for having the Ruiz as the winner. Maybe next time I will have more courage and score fairly.

    Danny Dignum reminds me of the alien bug in Men In Black

    Round 1 Dennis 10-9

    Non stop pressure from Danny, he's whipping in left hooks, but walked into to far too many counters straight rights. Danny has a few moments late, almost stole it, but too little too late.

    He's the lovechild of Vincent D'Onofrio and Johnny Knoxville from Jackass.

    Round 1 Dennis 10-9
    Round 2 Dignum 10-9

    Danny with better head movement this round, Dennis finding him a harder target to hit clean. Danny gets in close, Dennis holds. Danny going to the body more effectively. Danny jabbing much better far more accurate, finding a home for his lefts as well. He's unfurled a right hook late.

    OMG this got me dying!!!

    Man it's crazy to realize Vincent D'Onofrio has physically changed so much. I did not even realize that was him in MIB until now. I only know him from Daredevil, where he plays Kingpin.

    Round 1 Dennis 10-9
    Round 2 Dignum 10-9
    Round 3 Dignum 10-9

    Ref gives Danny a warning for rabbit punching early, then Dennis lands two good rights. Danny's left eye is now cut. Danny gets in close, working the body and head in close, Danny is pissed and going all out. Whipping in left hooks to the body. Another nasty right from Dennis. Danny rips him with several left hooks. Dennis is starting to haul ass now. Danny pinning him here and there, landing uppercuts. Danny dropping his hands taunting him, because of the running, then lands a few late.

    The cut was due to a headclash.

    Yeah, he's had a life long issue with his weight, I had the same reaction when I saw him in MIB< but only because I was expecting him to be a tub of lard, because I only knew him as Gomer Pyle from Full Metal Jacket. Which you should definitely check out.

    McGregor getting the decision would have been a robbery, not the worse robbery ever but still a robbery. I think Ruiz very easily could have got the decision but a draw was still fairy acceptable.

    I just can't get my head around it. I pegged McGregor a few levels above Ruiz and expected an easy KO victory.

    So, what gives? McGregor couldn't hurt a guy that was stopped by Michael Conlan AKA Pillow Fists. I guess he will come out with some kind of explanations for his poor performances soon. There is no way he is ready for any of the title holders this year. He would get stopped.

    Round 1 Dennis 10-9
    Round 2 Dignum 10-9
    Round 3 Dignum 10-9
    Round 4 Dignum 10-9

    The movement has become less purposeful and more based on survival. Dennis' rights are becoming fewer and farther in between. Danny's pressure and power shots are getting to him.

    Not seen that so I might check it out. Such a great actor in Daredevil.
