Another one of those fights I expected to be very back and forth that actually wasn't. This was all Pedro, with "King" Mo causing VERY little damage. Like, embarrassingly little damage. If this were a pro wrestling match, more real life damage would have been caused. Kinda too bad. Yet another one I would have been accused of rigging by the Cannon, as Lawal was his guy, and Rizzo was mine.
