I like Josh so this loss makes me sad. I guess Severn has had some nice upgrades and all, but yeah. In all honesty, I checked the damage before the 4th round, and Josh's corner should have stopped this one heading into the 4th. He was contused, his head was badly beaten, he had cuts all over. He was kinda done. But he is a tough sod and we all know he would like to go out on his shield, and on his shield he did go.

I like Josh so this loss makes me sad. I guess Severn has had some nice upgrades and all, but yeah. In all honesty, I checked the damage before the 4th round, and Josh's corner should have stopped this one heading into the 4th. He was contused, his head was badly beaten, he had cuts all over. He was kinda done. But he is a tough sod and we all know he would like to go out on his shield, and on his shield he did go.
