Yeah, I didn't want him to win but it's a fine stop.

Also I know I already wrote about the shamelessness of the promotion but having the replay of the knockout brought to you by a commercial sponsorship for the challenger is incredible.

man, that reminded me of vintage Conor. slips it by about a centimeter and then a lightning quick counter. he's very talented. if Merab is the next challenger, I think Merab's going to be very favored, but Sean can probably knock just about anyone out in the division, so he'll always have a chance

On one hand goddard could've let that go longer but aljo had a lot of time to get up or wrestle and did neither. That shot was a lot like the one conor killed aldo with, yeah?

Dana likes O Malley because he's a stand and bang guy with some personality and he's from Boston.

Aljo is also from New York. So. Don't Boston and new York fans kinda have rivalry over everything?

I think it was something like 14 punches to the head without one being blocked. We can't have it both ways saying Magny shouldn't have continued in the 3rd but aljo should have been allowed to get hit more.

Not quite. Aldo whiffed a cross but landed his hook, and thus was still fully rotating into Conor's left.
Aljo was coming in on a cross and dropping for a takedown. He flinched away a tiny bit from the power as he saw the counter cross coming.

e: I guess I would conclude, O'Malley left more space for himself to work and got off a much cleaner shot than Conor's.

reminded me actually of the couple he killed Alvarez with--a counter that leaves about a centimeter of space, then a lightning quick well placed shot that flows through the guy

Re Aljo hate: I guess I was hoping there’d be another reason but Boston gonna Boston.

Also, why was this fight in Boston if Aljo’s the champ??? Wtf did he do to Dana?

I'm not sure I wanted to see the Magny fight continue. I guess the difference is headshots which is what Aljo was eating. The fighters will never admit they can't win and say they've had enough and I wish their corners would a lot more often. A lot of fights like that in recent memory

He’s been pushing O’Malley as a star since he first fight, because he believed he had a marketable look and fighting style. Specifically that he would appeal to young people. And now he is champ

On rewatch, hard to get mad at the stoppage - he ate a lot of clean shots after the initial one, and when goddard jumped in he was essentially facedown on the mat. Genuinely a great finish from o'malley. fora legitimately great champ, aljo's reign gonna go down as one of the weirdest ever. Extremely serra-longo
