I was really impressed by Wallhead. He very nearly had Trigg in the first round, and kept the pressure on throughout the fight.
As for Daley, he definitely didn't look his best. Sure he had good hands as usual and showed some good takedown defence for the majority of the fight, but I think what was more impressive was Radev's chin. That dude just would not drop. All in all though, I'm disappointed for Daley for not making weight. If he doesn't start taking his diet seriously, then I think he'll just spend the next couple of years fighting bums and nobodies before disappearing into thin air.
Andre Winner had great stand-up as always and looked fluid and sharp, but didn't really want to commit. It seemed like he just wanted to coast for the decision, which is great for his record but not good if he hopes to convince the UFC to take him back in a couple of fights time.
Oh, and for the record, Carl Noon has some of the most appalling cardio I have ever seen. He's ginormous for a MW and has no excuse for carrying that much muscle. With a physique like that, his only hope is to do what he couldn't, take the guy down, and ground and pound and hope he gets the stoppage in the first. Marshman is a tough dude, and whilst he has some major holes in his game, his boxing was smooth and he deserves the W after the beating he took in the first.
