Unbelievable! King Mo lost this fight! Betting sites will explode!
Big fight here. Both guys dealt beefy damage, enough to finish lesser men. Their toughness kept them both in it, and kept them both banging even to the end. In the end, Big Tim got a few bigger shots in that did fight-ending damage to The King. Not Lawler though. He is a different king. This is King Mo, you silly bastards.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
