What a completely and utterly dead even fight this was. Fight damage was near identical, and both had strong defensive games. Neither was close to finishing, or even really taking over the fight, but both were working their asses off trying to get something going. These 2 fight 10 times, it likely goes 5-5. They that damned even.
