Looking forward to this one, hoping Till gets the win.

Bisping has also said he would like to fight on this card.

Till gets planked. Early. His win vs. Cerrone was the equivaent of me hitting a homerun off of Roger Clemens in his prime.

Kinda related side story. I was bartending at the time when some guy used the 'hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sport's" argument.

I laughed in his face. I said let me take 100 swings against Randy Johnson, I'll hit one ball at least fair. Have me fight BJ Penn 100 times, I don't like my chances.

I agree that Wonderboy beats him but Till's win over Cerrone was totally legit IMO. Till is just on the upside enough and Cerrone on the downside enough to produce that outcome.

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Wonderboy dismantles him.

Happy to hear that it's been made official. this is going to be a very good fight imo

wah? what hell is going on in this thread lol that win over cerrone wasn't some kind of fluke from what i saw. don't understand why excuses are being made for cowboy.

if anyone is getting KOd it will be wonderboy. in my opinion.

I could easily see thompson outstriking till. Till will probably get frustrated and start to tire in the 3 4 5 rounds. Intresting fight

I agree with luke thompson that wonderboy has absolutely nothing to gain since hes already ranked #1 and he could ko till in 5 seconds but he wont get a woodley rematch anytime soon. Plus theres a interim title fight between colby and rda which usually indicates a titleshot for the winner. If rda/colby winner beats woodley then wonderboy has a shot. Next year

The problem is that nobody wants to see him fight Tyron again, he's lost twice to him and only has 1 win since his loss. Wonderboy needs a few more wins before he's granted another shot.

 

[Mad Dog]

This a good fight. Great fight for the brits.

 

[Muridae83]

I think Till beats Wonderboy.

We shall bet on this....I'll make sure we agree on something before it happens...This is also on.my birthday so I'll thank you for buying my drinks afterwards.

Not true....I want to see #3, but Wonderboy is my second favorite fighter and I feel he was the rightful winner in the first fight

 

[Weidman's right nut]

I love Wonderboy, he is #2 in my books in terms of favorite fighters but oddly, I wouldn't be super pissed if Till were to win

Yeah, bunch of haters
Scousers aren’t braggers, they just sneak up and smash you......Thompson should be thankful he’s been warned
