Umm...Shit..........This could fuck shit up.
Seriously, though, this was a VERY, VERY good fight. First Herman was destroying Newton, then Newton was drstroying Herman, then more of the same from Newton, then Herman came back. Each round there was basically one clear winner,but both guys recovered well and came back out hard for the next round. Very impressed with this one. Draw SUCKS though. I probably would have given the slight edge to Newton, but yeah....shit.

Umm...Shit..........This could fuck shit up.
Seriously, though, this was a VERY, VERY good fight. First Herman was destroying Newton, then Newton was drstroying Herman, then more of the same from Newton, then Herman came back. Each round there was basically one clear winner,but both guys recovered well and came back out hard for the next round. Very impressed with this one. Draw SUCKS though. I probably would have given the slight edge to Newton, but yeah....shit.
