    The steady, skilled technical efficiency of Arachakov, or whatever style Wolgast used?

    :lol:

    Going by what we know, this is a lovely draw for Wolgast. His riffing, switch-hitting speedster style should see him home to a wide UD.

    very hard to tell just by reading, the tone people are using.

    they also got a profile on Humberto Gonzalez that could be interesting

    I'm still after Midget's highlight clip from the Montana fight, but I can't really call this one not having any visual evidence to go by.

    For the sake of later rounds in this tournament, I'm going with Yuri, who we can at least judge in a fully informed manner.
