The picture I have in the program of Tate is the one from the ESPN body issue. Needless to say, I do not hate when Tate fights.
As for the fight, they started tough-trading shots with each other, but I think Tate just has a little more defensive development so Cyborg was less successful than Tate was. It’s a shame to see Cyborg lose a stand-up fight to Tate though. That kinda makes me sad. Despite the ESPN image.
