So hyped for poirier last fight
Really really hope he wins convincingly. Would be a fitting send off
That did not happen and he did not get the storybook ending everybody had hoped for.
He got dominated in the first round with a knockout but recovered and it was mostly a standup fight.
So it was a Holloway showboat of a fight with his superior boxing skills helping him in the end win by decision.
The card was starting off great with I believe the first five ending in finishes. I lost count after so many and it was like that the last time they went to NOLA a decade ago alot of finishes.
But by the time the main card started they were mostly ended all by decision. Two major upsets with Zellhuber & Holland losing where they were both 1.16x odds.
Overall it was a impressive event and well worth it to watch again because I missed a few of them including the Paula Costa fight. Which was also an upset.
Yes, it was a great card. And regarding Paulo Costa, he hadn't won a fight in almost three years, coming off two consecutive losses. But now he must have gotten the hang of it and should soon be ranked again in the division. His resilience and willpower are impressive.
