lol. From round 2 "I can't give the advantage to either fighter in that round." This was the round Bas won the fight. He took Cro Cop from about 95% health to about 4%. And yet..."I can't give the advantage to either fighter in that round."...???
Decent fight until round 2, when Bas went Rutten-Tuttin on Cro Cop. Nuff said.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
