    Either Babic doesn't hit as hard as we've been told or Bennett has a chin like Homer Simpson

    Round 1: 10-9 Babic
    Round 2: 10-9 Babic
    Round 3: 10-9 Babic
    Round 4: 10-9 Babic
    Round 5: 10-9 Babic

    While it was kind of entertaining in the first couple of rounds, now we get an ugly fight. No bueno. Babic now fighting pretty stupid. He's staying in the pocket and allows Bennett to ride with his punches but he's still landing some decent stuff. Babic kind of angry that Bennett isn't going down and now really going all out for like 2 minutes peppering him with everything he has and the ref takes a close look at the end of that round.

    This is why I wanted him to go the distance.

    Babic still undefeated but he's going to have to be matched carefully because he's too wild, too small, and his defense is not as good as it should be. Still he's a fun heavyweight to watch. Maybe keep having him beat low level journeymen, get him to something like 15-0, then cash him out.

    Brit stoppage. Bennett was just trying to get Babic into the late rounds. The Scott Ledeux strategy.

    God I hate David Diamante. He looks like he and his skanky braids would smell of strip clubs and cat ****.

    People acting like Savage's bombs haven't wrecked all the other HWs he's fought prior to tonight, in many instances quicker than other top HWs and highly regarded prospects have beaten them. Bennett is clearly packing iron in that mandible section of his. Babic was giving away 60lbs tonight and I'm not talking about pounds sterling. Bennett weighed 270lbs and had lasted the distance against 260lb man mountain Nick Webb who punches like a mule
