Fitz has all power so, as expected, a nice KO win.

JHL - Moorer was a nice read and a close fight but the KD's swing it Moorer's way.

Langford just too good for my man, Tunney, the first clear fight he has lost. Not many ppl drop Tunney, so congrats to him.

Maxis beat Stribling was also a good win, though Stribling, I thought, was taking it until the 'cuts of doom' curtailed that particular potential victory.

Cuts ruin another fight. Not an issue for weeks, now happens once per card post, usually in big fights.

Fighters are getting thin skinned........it's happening in the real world as well....
