Huh. Interesting. So at first, Liz was all reluctant to smash Paige’s “pretty little 19 year old face”. Then she got over that and started pounding her pretty good...then she got tired. And Paige, much less tired, took over and brought home the win. This totally was not how I expected this one to go at all.
Liz definitely needs a stamina boost, this should've been her fight for the taking. 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
