Damn.

Respectable effort from Ryan, but Walker just had his number in that fight. I gotta say I even disagree with the scorecard that was in my guys favor. That was clearly Mickey's fight.

Maybe Tommy has done enough to deserve a place in the Silver Six. I was hoping a win here might make him a Super 6 nominee, but as it stands it looks like Silver Six is the best Tommy can shoot for at this point.

Steele is a lot better than that effort. Disappointing loss.

Thought it was close, would edge Robinson, but a draw is acceptable.

Duran had a nice win in his up and down season.

Just noticed, if Steele absorbed a punch at 3:00.....wouldn't the round be over?
