Re: BTW Season Week #26 MDT Groups G H
Sixto Escobar and Celestino Caballero have an epic war with Escobar finally coming out on top after tasting the canvas on multiple occasions. That was a great one!!!!
Erik Morales has a bit of a tough time with Leo Santa Cruz, but he was able to show his skills enough to walk out with a close, but clear UD.
Larios knocking out Manuel Ortiz was a mild upset I thought, but an entertaining fight. I look forward to seeing the next fight of both in the tournament.
