What the hell is with boringish fights tonight. Is it because I am tired from a day of ManNHL UFA? Davis definitely won this fight, but only by like, bits and chunks at a time. Not serious, massive, beasty onslaughts.
Big Nog did NOTHING in this fight. Whoever owns him should fix that somehow, cause that made me bored.
