My whole team looked extremely flat. Steele took a little to long to get going. Duran just never got going and Robinson was under-trained. Robinson/Ketchel easily could have been a draw or SD the other way. Duran clearly lost.Steele lost very close.

I did consider asking for Ketchel to be trained for added endurance - wonder if it would have made a difference? Ketch did pretty well but I was expecting SRR to get the decision in the end. Agree with you on the other two fights.

Having matched my guys tough two weeks in a row I'm pleased with how they are handling it. Not sure what to do for week 3 now though.
