Holy hell, that was a close one until the last round. Both guys exchanged rounds and work. Neither was in deep danger though, just chipping away at each other, collecting rounds, as I said. But GSP went into overdrive mode in the final round, took Johny to 50% health, and secured the win. Very even fight. GSP needs to be more effective, though, cause a lot of those 62 GnP strikes were not effective, and with a KO fighter like Johny, you need that shit to be effective. Otherwise, if he gets up, all your wrestle-work is in vain.

Holy hell, that was a close one until the last round. Both guys exchanged rounds and work. Neither was in deep danger though, just chipping away at each other, collecting rounds, as I said. But GSP went into overdrive mode in the final round, took Johny to 50% health, and secured the win. Very even fight. GSP needs to be more effective, though, cause a lot of those 62 GnP strikes were not effective, and with a KO fighter like Johny, you need that shit to be effective. Otherwise, if he gets up, all your wrestle-work is in vain.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
