Nice comeback win for Angott, his first stoppage win.


There is nothing more frustrating in the sim than a DQ loss, especially in a fight up for grabs.....

There is nothing more satisfying than a win by dq. Especially in a fight that I did not ask for, did not plan for and did not want.

Maybe we'll sit down in week 19 or 20 to figure it out. We both might be up for a title shot in the next couple of weeks, so a lot could change.

That's kind of what I was thinking.
Let's just say that I invite you to a rematch, and I'll honour that whenever you see fit to indulge, anywhere from here to week 40. (But don't wait too long, I think it would be wrong not to make a trilogy of this, if the rematch goes as expected).
