It's funny cause if you go by the end-of-round comments from the simulator, this fight was a draw going into the 5th (1 Tanner, 1 Okami, 2 "even"). But that';s a downright filthy lie. Okami pretty much destroyed Tanner the whole fight. Save, perhaps, the first round, which was a bit closer. But even then, Okami's damage to Tanner was notably greater than Tanners to Okami.

It's funny cause if you go by the end-of-round comments from the simulator, this fight was a draw going into the 5th (1 Tanner, 1 Okami, 2 "even"). But that';s a downright filthy lie. Okami pretty much destroyed Tanner the whole fight. Save, perhaps, the first round, which was a bit closer. But even then, Okami's damage to Tanner was notably greater than Tanners to Okami.
Tanner '88. Get it? No, no you don't - don't lie.
