That’s great!! Have a blast. Pretty much can’t miss, imo.

I give Joe a bit of time to settle in, warm up a bit on Steve's face

This starts now

Just watching the end of Pinchuk v Flores. Looks like it was a decent scrap.

Pinchuk UD.

Watching Isley massacre some tomato can. Hope they stop it.

UD for Pinchuk.

This buy Cubano is getting pummeled. His toughness might be his demise.

Has Rosario fought yet ?
