A complete no show for Foster. I probably should have drafted Greb as I debated on between the two. Not the season I had envisioned 6 weeks in.

Hopkins has had zero luck this season, what a terrible outcome.

Not sure what the one judge saw, but that seemed like a clear RJJ win to me.

Moore brutalising Bell, an expected win.

'Slapsie' got a bit of luck, there. Unlucky for B-Hop. Not having much success.....or luck.

RJJ was a clear winner but not sure why the judges had it so close.

Johnson wins but not sure what happened to Foster. Was expecting a brutal fight with knockdowns exchanged but didn't play out that way.

Maxie's slaps are cutting edge! Don't sass the slapster! Or he'll turn your melon into a tomato. Capiche?

Maxie RAZORSLAP ROSENBLOOM is on the RISE!

Slapsie, you dirty dirty dog. Miracles clearly do happen when you see the Slapster producing first round stoppages, regardless of the method. BHop will go again, needs a bit of luck.

Controlled display from RJJ, that Colombian gentleman on the judges panel needs a serious hiding.
