Tim Sylvia wins the SuperFight title!
WOw. So on the night when Joonas Korpisalo breaks the record for most shots against and most saves in an NHL playoff game, we have this fight. Our first-ever "Towel-throw" finish. And Sylvia dished out I believe a record for most damage in a single fight (need to fact-check that one with our history books), but damn. What a show of heart from Overeem to survive 30 minutes of brutality, and from Tim to throw nearly 200 punches at the guy. Just...wow.
(For context, a typical fight here ends on between 3000 and 5000 "damage caused" points.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
