The hell. Round 3 was NOT for Miller. This thing's broken. Round 3 was actually the game-changer for Guida. After a great back and forth first and second round, Guida moved ahead in the 3rd, with ferocious, damage-inducing GnP strikes. He almost finished Miller, but Jim is a tough SoB, and he was able to survive. Not for long tho, as this sucka ended early in round 4. Pretty good stuff, chaps!
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
