Wow, the meteoric rise of Penn 2.0 comes crashing down with a fight full of inconsistency, lack of stand-up defence, and just a poor performance from the man who walked through 2 of the top 3 LWs in the league. Kind of a shame he can't get that consistency worked out. Defence and MAYBE aggression and I think he is there. His KO resistance and toughness are pretty sturdy.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
