Smashes discussion thread (spoilers)

[Nimmy]

so i take it that the alleged carpark fight kicked off after that episode but they arnt showing it

[jim2007]

Luke Newman looked scared when that guy came at him and it took Val the balls to stand up to him and talk back. Val should offer him a fight at a heavier weight as he has fought heavier and smash him. Total tool trying to intimidating people.

that coach and the gimp WW with the beard are total bellends, hope both get smashed

Enjoying this far more than the US TUF at the moment & might be biased due to the brits but talent level seems far higher as well.

Only annoying thing so far is every decision made seems to be in the favour of the OZ fighters. Oz fighters get to keep their spot, then when the reverse happens we get an Oz fighter jumping into the Semi's.
Yeah I knew the Brits screwed up big time with the phone, but perhaps if they treated them like professional fighters rather thyan locking them up like little kids this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

All scenarios would have been looked at and the easier decision was to try and get an Aussie in there for some presence in the laters rounds and it was made so much easier with Team UK breaking the rules. If it is in the rule book that a breach of rules means expulsion from the comp then they have to count themselves lucky that they are still in, saying that most were already out. Maybe the involvement of Norman Parke made Dana think that he needed to keep him in and therefore all would be kept in?

Who's everyone got for Loughnane v Parke?

I reckon Parke takes this one by Sub

Yeah i reckon Parke takes it.

I think Whittaker takes place in WW final and Colin subs the Aussie. There none of the Aussies that can do anything with any of our LWs IMO.

That ref was a bit of a bell with his 'lets rock this' and telling the fighters not to leave it in the hands of the judges and various other shouts... defo wanting to get noticed, I always thought a good ref never gets noticed!

was thinking the same. some of these refs have been terrible. brad had taken the back and got hooks in and whilst setting up a choke the ref shouted 'stay busy'. one of them the other week also started the fight by asking each fighter "are you ready son?" which i thought quite patronising, then followed it with 'lets smash it up' as he started the fight.
despite the constant reminders to keep active he kept giving he never did anything about it, even when the aussie was completely inactive in the guard and brad was holding him to stall and stand up, it still wasn't stood up.

Im confused, a guy gets called in and doesn't make the weight, and Dana doesn't even give a shit? Barely a thing has been said about it, people were still high fiving him when he said he wasn't allowed to cut any more!

In all fairness he cut like 19lbs in about a day's notice and ended up in hospital because of it.

No time to diet or anything, pretty much straight 8.5kgs in day.

Does anyone know when the next episode is on? It was showing on my planner as being on at 2am this morning, I've just checked the recording and it's just football, nothing is showing for tonight. What's going on, espn are shite!
