The Jirov fight was a war, early candidate for fight of the year..

Aye, as expected, it was a real war!

Dariusz did a lot better than I expected tbh. Leading on the scorecards, and even managing to drop Jirov, before succumbing to the bigger mans power. Bodes well for the rest of the season if Dariusz can reproduce performances like this. Congrats to Jirov!

Looks like they issued glasses to the Dominguez Huck officials this week!
