    Uh oh, I just checked, Zerafa is an Aries and Hardman is a Virgo. When they fight (Jirov/Toney & Guerrero/Berto). A FOTY usually transpires.:deal:

    Round 1 Zerafa 10-9

    Largely a feel out round, Hardman having a hard time find the proper range, Zerafa tagging him with jabs and counter rights.

    Round 1 Zerafa 10-9
    Round 2 Zerafa wins by TKO

    Hardman out far more aggressive, lands an overhand right, now going to teh body. Zerafa firing back, landing counters. He corners Zerafa, they trade, Zerafa drops him with counter hook. He's up on wobbly legs, Zerafa jumps on him, flurries, the ref waves it, a little too soon IMO.

    Strong performance by Zerafa. Shame i didn't trust him here. Like the commentator said: TRUST THE PEDIGREE. Always had the bum feeling about Hardman...

    It was early but Hardman wasn't steady after that knockdown and was taking a lot of unanswered punishment with most of the round to go. He literally only swung back when the ref jumped in to stop the assault so it looked like a worse stoppage than it was.

    Yep, he was done. Did you spot the attempt at dropping a knee mid/late count?
    His brain must have fired back up and said 'Nah m8, you've already been down. Can't take a knee now bucko'
