Unbelievable! Franklin lost this fight! Betting sites will explode!
Cung Le wins the Middleweight title!
...wow. I did not see that one coming. Not only did I think Rich would win, I thought with his most recent upgrades he would destroy Cung. See, as I always say, when Cung kicks, Cung wins. He doesn't always kick, which sis frustrating, but he definitely got that going this fight and destroyed the champ. Kudos Kid Cung...Kudos.
