Laughed my are off at this one


Reebok have pulled it this morning after CMG's manager berated them and threatened to pull the sponsorship deal if it wasn't removed immediately...
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Bit mad from Kavanagh I thought. Announces partnership Tuesday, threatens to cancel it Thursday.

Daft from Reebok though.

That's about right!
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Ronda Rousey defeated, knocked clean out tonight. Must be one of the biggest shocks in the history of UFC. Great performance by Holly Holm.

She was annihilated swinging at air on a few occasions as well. The hype machine is a bad job for fighters it wouldn't surprise me to see the same end to McGregor against Aldo!!

Fingers crossed.

No fluke either, she had a game plan, stuck to it and it tore Rousey apart. Rousey's corner were awful. She was chasing around like a bull, getting tagged repeatedly and absolutely knackered because of it. The corner told her to keep it up.

When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Ronda Rousey got her ass handed to her last night

watched the fight yesterday. The gulf in class was huge. Through Entourage, calling out Mayweather etc I knew who Rousey was. What I don't understand was how she was the (supposed) numero uno in a combat sport when she has  zero defence ! Your one Holm had a free pass to Rousey's jaw all bout.

If you'd seen her previous fights she has been electric. Nobody else had troubled her in the slightest and with her judo skills and being an Olympic champion it helped her to get the big name.

Holm was supposed to be the true test of Rousey's boxing skills and she failed spectacularly. This will set her back a long way she's going to have to beat Holm in a rematch to regain her credibility.

Having said that the time and experience it would take to get to that level I just don't think is possible. She was totally out thought, out classed and out fought!!!

Great article here about the hype over Rousey and some of the nonsense spouted around her dominance. ESPN were proclaiming her the greatest female athlete ever ffs!
