Holy fuck, was this a messy fight! Both guys wanted this one. And both guys hit HARD. The CLEAR difference in this fight though was toughness. Kimbo is TOUGH. So for the first half of the fight (which was AWESOME) both fighters were exchanging at a dead-even pace. The damage was almost identical, in terms of those damage numbers you see in ML. BUT, the health bars were not even. Kimbo can take a lot more damage than Jones. So a bit later in the fight, Jones was A LOT more affected by the damage than Kimbo was, and Kimbo was able to capitalize on more chances than Jones and finish this fight.
I liked this one.
