Got 4.5 on Kelly at Betfair.
Hoping he grinds it out

I avoided this fight cause of the weird circumstances about Breese but damn Kelly looked outclassed

Yeah good comeback fight for Breese

Eeee. Did Tom Breese poke Daniel Kelly in the eye prior to the finish? The referee didn't see it. No but it did look like the right glove of Tom caught Daniel's left eye? Ouch. 1st round TKO win for Tom Breese regardless.

Punches are legal if you hit the eye, just bad luck if the plastic grazes the eye.

Makwan Amirkhani playing a dangerous game. Sticks his tongue out after getting Jason to the ground & pinning his arms in the first round, was arguably winning it as well but gets dropped twice. Jason got Makwan in his rubber guard mostly in round three.

Think Jason won rounds one and three but round two? Probably Makwan's.

It seems like Demetrious Johnson's wife has made it across the Atlantic for this fight.

Huh. One had it 30-27 Knight but the other two went 29-28 Amirkhani.

That was a pretty annoying decision, knight seemed in control at basically all points, amirkhani ended up on top most of the time because knight would pull guard then control from the bottom

Just tuning in now glad I only went with the main I feel like I probably would have got wrecked today if I degenned the whole card

Damn was counting my Burnell winnings then

I had Allen, what a bad bet. Burnell was relentless. Don’t bet British fighters vs grapplers when they’re the favorite. Lesson learned, thankfully it came in this fashion.

I think that Amirkhani fight was an insanely clear 29-28 for Amirkhani. First was 10-9 for knight, if he wasn’t getting whipped the first 4 minutes of the card he’d get 10-8 but Amirkhani had more than enough moments to keep it 10-9. Second was a clear 10-9 Amirkhani. Third was a super clear 10-9 for Amirkhani, really hurt knight on the feet and controlled him in the grappling. I don’t see how anyone could score his mission control as winning the fight, it’s just a stalemate position. He wasn’t threatening any subs. He’s basically just holding Amirkhani on top of him.

That’s the way I saw it anyways. 30-27 knight is bananas though.

Let's go Wonderboy! I approve of Till's walkout music but that's about all

Weird to hear Wonderboy get booed, outside of one boring fight with Woodley there is nothing to hate about him at all. Let's hope he can take one in hostile territory

Looks like it's going to close around -130ish, little late move back to Till after decent move to WB today

Well this is the type of fight i'm hoping for with my bets

I have it a clear 10-9 Wonderboy in r1 even though no one landed much WB clearly landed a couple more shots but you never know with homecrowd judging etc

Close round no one landed anything too significant, have to assume Till gets it in England even though WB probably landed an extra couple shots no one landed anything damaging

I have it 2-0 WB but both rounds close enough that in England score could be anything

Close r3, WB was ahead until the last 10 seconds but Till probably stole it on the judges cards due to the crowd etc with that one shot he landed even though WB landed more combos

I'm worried we're heading towards a split for Till and then the stats will show WB outlanded him 2 to 1 or something

Close fight could be anything from 30-27 to 27-30 on the cards and I wouldn't be shocked

Sherdog has it 30-27, 29-28, 30-28 WB so far but I doubt he's that far ahead in England

Another close round. I assume Till wins it on aggression?

Surprised the significant strikes are that close I figured WB would be further ahead

I expect it's either 2-2 or 3-1 Till in England but I have it 3-1 WB I think although 2 of the 4 rounds are basically coinflips

No idea who the judges think won that fight. No idea who I think won that fight to be fair. What did you like there then!?

Wonderboy's going to win my scorecard 48-47 and def got the better of this round except the knockdown gives it to Till

Sherdog has it for WB

I fully expect Till to win the decision, I just can't see two judges having it 3-1 WB after 4 even though that's how I saw it

Mildly annoyed I didn't take fight goes the distance, hopefully WB gets the 48-47 but who knows

WB actually lit him up after getting knocked down, really frustrating he went down as he won most of the round and most of the fight

I had it 10-9 10-9 10-9 9-10 9-10 for WB although all of the rounds were close

Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Till (49-47 Thompson)
Brian Knapp scores the round 10-9 Till (48-47 Thompson)
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Till (49-48 Thompson)

I can't see the judges sending the crowd home sad when it was that close but who knows, Davis 'beat' Machida in Brazil so anything's possible and I do think under 10 point WB edged it. Can't be too upset if it goes the other way though

All three judges gave it to Till? 48-47 & 2x 49-46? The judges didn't liked Wonderboy's dancing.

LOL two 49-46s. WB was never going to win with those scorecards.

Till will never touch the WW belt.

Just because it's in the UK, if it was in the US I think we'd have seen a split decision a lot.

I figured Till would get the decision 90% of the time in the UK though. Even if WB had won that last round Till was getting the nod which is pretty ridiculous.

Wonderboy might be the unluckiest fighter in UFC history with decisions that one basically ends his title aspirations for good he could easily be the champ and on an 11 fight win streak if the 3 either way decisions went his way and he got 0-2-1 in them.

Pretty disappointing since I had WB dec +275, but a bit annoyed I didn't hedge at all with Till dec, I did think it would be more lopsided if went the distance though

Media scorecards will be interesting

lol, all 3 judges gave r2 to Till, one gave him r1, one gave him r3, all 3 gave him 4 and 5 as well.

I mean it's not the biggest robbery of all time or anything but giving r1 to Till is pretty inexcusable and for 2-4-5 to be unanimous is pretty iffy.
