...wow. Cyborg has fallen hard. For the record, this was not a flash injury or anything. Cyborg was really close to done, when she just kinda broke instead. Hiroko has arrived. Dominating Cyborg standing is...wow. This seems like a lie, but it’s not – for Hiroko to get to that next level for legit, she needs toughness. Her toughness is incredibly weak compared to other members in her ranking group.
