UFC FN Boston "New Year, New Champ?": TJ Dilla (c) vs Cruz, Shelftime Pettis vs Alvarez, and More

[123456789]

Eddie's a different fighter now. ..but I dig it.

Where does pettis go from here?

 

[Rosecrans]

shytty fight shytty result

I got Cruz to win the belt in the next one

 

[The G.O.D II]

Pettis is so disappointing. Its amazing how he still doesn't have any kind of boxing. No jab to keep Alvarez at bay. Nothing. Terrible fight also. Alvarez would be lucky to headline a prelim card next

 

[JahFocus CS]

I guess Pettis ain't sniffing a title shot unless there's some very favorable matchmaking.

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

Dam it. I hope Pettis was just rusty because that wasn't the Pettis we've all seen. Alvarez had a smart game plan but Pettis should've used his range to keep him at bay. He got pushed to the cage too easily

 

[Propaganda]

disappointed in showtime. dude looked like shyt in that fight. doesn't help that i hate eddie alvarez too

 

[THEREALBRAND]

It was all good just a year ago

 

[JahFocus CS]

WAR CRUZ

 

[The Infamous]

Disappointing fight. Both fighters looked mediocre.

fukking Pettis

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Yup, Pettis should have done a better job in staying off the cage . When he did have space, he should have been throwing more.

Wouldn't mind seeing Eddie vs. Tony Ferguson with a title shot on the line.

Pettis is arguably the most talented guy at 155....He sure as hell didn't look like it tonight. I wasn't that impressed by Alvarez either but a win is a win.

He was outstriking him and jabbed him multiple times. His hands aren't the problem its his wrestling, he's cautious against wrestling

Exactly! With his length and power, he should be controlling the ring and dictate the fight. Alvarez was getting inside when he wanted, how he wanted and where he wanted

 

[Kenny West]

he barely even tried any showtime moves he isn't fighting with any swagger/confidence
