Haven't seen Pellegrino/Tavares yet.

But can’t argue with the other two awards at all.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

… it’s really a shame that the “Fight of the Night” was one of the two fights they weren’t able to show.

For the record

I was the only on staff here to call Pellegrino over Tavares.

But man, I am still in shock over Evans’ KO. What a shot.

The silence afterwards was absolutely deafening.

Pivotal moment in Chuck’s, and hopefully Rashad’s career. I would love it if Rashad could threaten this type of explosive power from here on out, it would make him a really interesting guy to follow.

CORRECT

but as you said in your predictions, he seems to tend to give away fights when he should be closing them out so I didn’t go with my original thought and instead played it safe. You are the man on that one…
