K, so Houston came to fight this time. He was dominating Chuck early and was running away with this one. But then Chuck took one on the chin and woke up, and fought back. I'd love to see 1 or 2 more upgrades into Houston and get this rivalry going in full force again. Pleasure to see some good old fashioned retro action.
