Really close fight between Gomez and Dariusz M. Dariusz could have easily won, but the judges side with Gomez in a close one.

Madison shows up under-trained and still pulls off an "upset" draw against Tiozzo.

size played a factor in this fight but I still think Tiozzo dropped the ball for this golden opportunity, still a draw is cause for a rematch so he may get another chance.

I'm sure Madison wouldn't mind a rematch. With the tourney starting next week, I already know Madison isn't coming out with that title with the killers that are there.
