Mc Gregor becomes a legend 14-11-16

Conor McGregor became the UFC's first simultaneous two-weight champion after he knocked out Eddie Alvarez in the second round of their UFC 205 main event, with the Irishman adding the lightweight title to the featherweight championship he already held.

Alvarez, 28-5, started the contest with a series of leg kicks in an attempt to restrict the challenger's movement.

But moments later, McGregor sent him crashing to the canvas with a huge left hand.

McGregor, who went into the bout fresh off his UFC 202 win over Nate Diaz, swarmed the champion but he couldn't finish the Philadelphia native.

Alvarez was rocked and found himself on his back again as McGregor landed yet another huge left hand.

It soon became apparent that McGregor could land his trademark shot at will and he did so yet again a few moments later.

A bewildered Alvarez recovered but was visibly shaken from the three brutal shots he ate.

'The Underground King' looked like a shadow of the fighter that claimed the lightweight title in the summer and was very tentative.

The open stages of the second round saw Alvarez eat more left hands as he tried to close the distance and land a takedown.

McGregor began landing at will and even took the time to taunt his foe by putting his hands behind his back.

A frustrated Alvarez jumped in to try and nail McGregor with a huge right and ended up getting cracked with another counter left.

A brutal one-two combination followed before referee John McCarthy stepped in and called an end to the contest, an act which confirmed McGregor's status as a UFC legend.

When asked if he was surprised by the manner of his victory, a delighted McGregor said: "Not one bit. They're not on my level.

Could Connor go for three world titles or will him having a child force him to calm down or to quit I think that he has to make his legend even greater so when he eventually retires people again will remember the country of Ireland for creating another legend of world sport in Connor Mc Gregor but someone will get 2 weights in the near future you can be sure of that

carl frampton boxing legend

Former IBF/WBA super-bantamweight king Frampton can become the first Northern Ireland boxer to win world titles at two different weights by dethroning WBA World featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz in a mouth-watering showdown.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/boxing/frampton-v-santa-cruz-carl-makes-history-to-become-wba-featherweight-champion-34925339.html

To become the legend he wants to be he has 2 different options one is to take the re match and build up your following like that another is to unify this weight and try to go a weight heavier but you do not know what way you will be seen until he retires.

I think that Carl Frampton is one of the great lightweight boxers of all time and if he is not seen as that I will be very disappointed.  

MY DAY IN NEWCASTLE 18-4-16

I went to Newcastle to see my great aunt. I went to see both rugby and football matches that happened on Saturday and Sunday. I had to get up early to go to Newcastle but I was happy and the airport was quick enough. When we got across we went for something to eat. Then we went back to her house and probably the worst internet I had seen since the mid-90s. After I watched the snooker and some children’s TV. We then went to her daughter’s houses house and her grandchild was very nice and the other one was into computers in a big way he did talk to me though and was happy to do so. We then went off to St James Park and sat beside a fan that was very strong in his views. We were right behind the goal and I could clearly see the first goal.   I liked the man who took me there as he was a strong Newcastle Fan.

Newcastle 3-0 Swansea

LASCELLES GOAL GIVES TOON REAL HOPE

 

Jamaal Lascelles headed in from a corner to put Newcastle in front towards the end of an edgy first half.

Ashley Williams and Jefferson Montero missed chances as the Swans dominated after the break, but Moussa Sissoko and Andros Townsend struck late goals.

Newcastle to me are back in the race to avoid relegation as they are 3 points behind with a game in hand but that game in hand is against man city.

There was a long drive home before I got in and watched my Saturday night programs I was no distraction for the night we had a pizza that was massive in size and would have wanted to have seen it at a different time both the ladies must have had to lift it.

On Sunday morning I got up early and could not go back to sleep so I watched some children’s TV and snooker before going to an Irish pub to watch the old firm derby there were 2 bars and both were filled to capacity. I had to stand to watch the game and I was happy enough and had to move so others to see. I liked when I was given the drinks and the crowd was very loud. I talked to more people from Glasgow that actual Irish people there was not a Ger in sight.  

Rangers 2-2 Celtic

Rangers win on penalties

BROWN MISSES VITAL PENALTY FOR CELTIC

 

Tom Rogic, who levelled in extra time for Celtic, missed the vital spot-kick, blazing high and wide.

Rangers striker Kenny Miller fired in the opening goal, with Celtic replying through an Erik Sviatchenko header.

A wonderful long-range strike from Barrie McKay had Rangers in front on 96 minutes before Rogic swept home to set up a tense Hampden shootout

James Tavernier and Nicky Clark failed to convert from the spot for Rangers, while Callum McGregor and captain Scott Brown could not hit the target for Celtic before Rogic's miss made it 5-4 on penalties to the Championship winners.

We then went straight to the rugby as there was no time for food as we sat in brilliant seets in the middle of the ground right beside a guy who could only say the words New- Cas- Tle his family must have some difficulty talking to him

Newcastle 3-6 London Irish

DELENY TRY SAVES NEWCASTLE FROM DROP  

Greig Tonks had kicked them in front at Kingston Park, but Marcus Watson's try and penalties from Mike Delany and Juan Pablo Socino put Falcons 13-6 ahead.

One more win will secure their place in the top flight.

We then had food where I watched the snooker and then I went home to Treasas and I watched family fortunes and then we went back to the airport.

SUPERLEAGUE NETBALL

 

The Thunder came from behind at half-time to win 57-48 away from home.

Elsewhere, Loughborough Lightning beat Surrey Storm 55-54 and Celtic Dragons suffered their fifth straight loss with a 65-45 home defeat against Team Bath.

Yorkshire Jets are the only other team without a win this season after losing 48-44 at Team Northumbria on Monday.

The 2014 champions Thunder trailed 26-24 at the break, but started the third quarter strongly. A 12-5 burst saw them take the lead and they held on for the victory.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/netball/35680214

Netball is a very entertain and a very fast game in which anything can happen. We all know that England must improve but like with other women’s sports to grow we need Irish, Scottish and Welsh netball to be seen this is one of the ways men have got a huge advantage over women still.

PREMIERE LEAGUE DARTS RESULTS

Peter Wright 7-2 Michael Smith

Peter Wright the one with the mad hair showed a consistent performance to beat new boy Michael Smith . He does looik to be safe in the first round of fixtures but this does not look good for Smith

Michael van Gerwen 4-7 James Wade

MVG started badly and this would definitely be considered a good win for James Wade as we all thought Van Gerwin was the best in the world but maybe he hasn’t had the performances behind him to say this would be a good

Phil Taylor 2-7 Raymond van Barneveld

Taylo9r does not look to start well in this tournament either as RVB showed that he is one of the best in the league but his form does go up and down and more so than anyone else this is a disappointment. Phil will come back you would think.

Robert Thornton 0-7 Dave Chisnall

Robert Thornton had a disaster and knows that he must improve to get back into the race for anything this season

Adrian Lewis 7-1 Michael Smith

Adrian Lewis was able to get his premiere league season underway as Gary Anderson was a bit ill but I do not think that it should have been Smith in the fray in the first day as this adds to the pressure and as he probably won’t reach the top 8 there will be an event he probably won’t get the chance to go to,.
