Danzig did great early, looking to get the upset (is it still an upset if Guillard has a reputation for flaking out in several should-win fights in the past?) Anyways, Mac did great, hurt Melvin, and definitly won some rounds (at least the first). Then Melvin turned Melvin and did his Melvin thing to Mac the Knife. Oh, and the cutting and the cutting and the cutting. Poetry. You own it.

Danzig did great early, looking to get the upset (is it still an upset if Guillard has a reputation for flaking out in several should-win fights in the past?) Anyways, Mac did great, hurt Melvin, and definitly won some rounds (at least the first). Then Melvin turned Melvin and did his Melvin thing to Mac the Knife. Oh, and the cutting and the cutting and the cutting. Poetry. You own it.
