[armageto]

Foster punishes Gonzalez and finally puts the series to bed.

Maxie had some pop tonight and pulls out a nice win vs Spinks.

Greb did as I figured.

[NazNaci1]

EMM - Andries was a good read. a tough fight.

Greb winning again....

Foster finished the series with a deserved win.

Maxie winning was a surprise and the fact he dropped Spinks a couple of times was impressive. Spinks not very consistent after a strong start to the season.
