[DrDuke]

I'm quite surprised with SD for Arguello instead of UD, because Alexis won it clearly. Still credit for Erik, he took the challenge and gave a fight.

[BoxBuzz]

Hamed lucked out, as Chacon didn't take it seriously and was out drinking instead of training. It was a war while it lasted.

[gilgamesh]

Hamed vs Chacon was everything you would expect from a combination of those 2 guys in the ring.

Proud of Erik's effort even though Arguello deserved the W.

[armageto]

Back to my old ways of losing fights on cuts......

Chocolate/JMM was a good read and fun fight.

Not against running either back down the line.

Chocolate/JMM with an early FOTY contender! Happy to run both back in the future.
