Aldo putting kicks back into his game is showing a significant impact...

Vera thinks standing close to Aldo is the same as "pressure". Can't just walk right up to him...

I can see the 2-0 for Aldo.  Definitely closer 2nd. Aldo is well on his way to a UD.

Aldo doesn’t need the finish. He just needs to control. Chico needs to get desperate

My guess is at least 1 judge will have it 30-27 and at least 1 judge will have it 29-28 both for Aldo.

I didn’t like Chito’s post O’Malley fight talk and ****iness, glad to see him lose. Like it or not Aldo secured the W.

Nailed it, clearly!

Aldo Is still a very dangerous top level fighter even in his fight years (not actual age), especially in a three rounder. Impressive to fight at that level for so long.  Guys resilience is impressive. Look at guys like Moraes chin already spent. Happy to see him get a good win.
