    Lara lost by a point, or could have arguably edged it by one. There was nothing one sided about that fight. So try not gloating or tooting your own horn on that one all that much, especially considering you weren't a member and made no pick yourself, although you're probably an alt of someone who has made numerous hideously wrong picks.. so much so, you're scared to show your true face..

    Nah...As the guy who won the avatar bet with IB, I can attest that he does indeed KSAB. Hurd's awkwardness and like water approach isn't always aesthetically pleasing, so I can understand why he had this opinion going into the fight, But there's some craft to Hurd's game, and IB acknowledged that during and after the fight.

    I certainly didn't score it by a point. Hurd dominated him, I saw it as one sided. Put it this way there'd be no need for a rematch as everyone could see Hurd was better. I aint hiding from nothing. Lara is overrated af and boring af. You've made many howlers when it comes to predictions, mainly because you pick against who you hate just because you hate them.

    Yeah, because everyone picks every single fight correctly, don't they? Very easy to deride after the fact, but Lara to outpoint Hurd was the majority opinion pre-fight
