Man, Ketch got his arse well and truly kicked there, didn't feel nearly as close as the scorecards would've made it look to me. Caught Greb on a hot day I guess.

Good result for Griff though - coming out on top in a close one.

Cheers for the fights Gilgamesh. If your looking for a chance at revenge for Nino it will probably have to be after the MDT now (if not during).

Congratulations to Griffith for ending Nino's unbeaten streak. Nino will try to avenge the loss later, but for now he'll just tip his hat to Emile. Perhaps we'll meet again in the Million Dollar Tournament, and if not we can certainly fight later in the season.

Greb and Ketchel are now 1-1
