What an odd fight. It's like, first Johnson was kinda running away with it. Then Din got back into the fight some, then they balanced out. Both are in such good health/conditioning states, though, that both did damage but neither was really in danger (save maybe Johnson a little half way through a little bit. But only a little). Not sure how I would have scored this one. Either way, really.

What an odd fight. It's like, first Johnson was kinda running away with it. Then Din got back into the fight some, then they balanced out. Both are in such good health/conditioning states, though, that both did damage but neither was really in danger (save maybe Johnson a little half way through a little bit. But only a little). Not sure how I would have scored this one. Either way, really.
