I was really impressed with Eric Schafer I don’t think anyone expected him to do as well as he did against Bader

I did

Red’s one of those fighter’s I’ll always root for, even if I don’t think he’ll ever win a title.

And if you didn’t think he could take a shot, rewatch the Houston Alexander fight
