Pep and Jofre.....true artists.
Re: Event#17 MDT Group F&G JOFREvsPEP, ATTELLvsSanchez,ChocolateVsLinares,KilbaneVsBass
Chocolate does well to recover from almost being stopped by the first f'n punch of the fight. Glad he got the stoppage, because another bad decision was brewing.
I don't mind Kilbane getting the win, I thought he edged it, but that 118-110 card was just terrible.
Pep/Jofre was a good read.

Bass is a tough out. He edged Armstrong earlier in the season via decision. Though I thought Armstrong was, it was close.
