I think this fight just took fight of the night Zenith 500. Both of these guys took each other to the DEEP reds, and Kid looked in control, with a health-differential of about 10% to about 5%. Then Jose dug deep and brought that little bit more right at the end to get over the death-hump that would be a non-victory.

I think this fight just took fight of the night Zenith 500. Both of these guys took each other to the DEEP reds, and Kid looked in control, with a health-differential of about 10% to about 5%. Then Jose dug deep and brought that little bit more right at the end to get over the death-hump that would be a non-victory.
