    Walker vs Dillon
    Steele vs McCallum/Robinson
    Lausse vs Roldan
    Apostoli vs O'Dowd

    Berlenbach vs Tiger

    Couldn't think of anyone who could match the pace of Greb in an all swarmer brawl. Walker did good but wasn't a swarmer. Can't really think of any great MW swarmers outside of greb, maybe Dillon?. Holman used volume after his hands got worse ya?

    Greb vs Toney would end up in a brawl even though Toney is no swarmer.

    Wonder how Toney's defence would hold up in the face of Harry's," all over you attack"?
