[gilgamesh]

Another close contest between Ryan and Burley. Charley edged it this time. They seem pretty evenly matched given their 2 bouts of the season.

[Fist of Legend]

how about the upset in the opening bout, thought I was giving Canelo an easy one but Thomas managed to get the stoppage, maybe seemed a little early though.
