Stand up WAR. The fans loved this one. Both guys came at each other, and being defensive was not in the cards. They both fought crazy-hurt and did crazy damage. Both were in the deep red by about the 1:20 mark, then it was just a matter of 'who will land "the shot"?' The answer was Abbott. Good show, gents. Nothing like a good, old-fashioned slug-brawl. Leave technique and finesse to someone else.
