HOLY SHIT Ken Scamrock can take BIG damage. Smith destroyed him. BAD. And Scamrock took it. Perspective - he absorbed 4 times as much as most other people on this card before getting KOed, and double what usually gets a "this guy is tough" comment from me. A few offensive upgrades and Scamrock might go places. TOUGH!!!
