    That's awesome, I had one but it melted because I'd lent it to a friend for a prank and the shithead left it on his porch in the Florida sun, I'm still mad about that 15 years later I pai forty dollars for that mask. Michael Myers is underrated, I've always but drawn towards Myers and Jason far more than Freddy.

    For the record I think this was a clearer victory than the Estrada one.

    I'd find it hard scoring this to Cuadras, but Estrada could feasibly have been a draw.

    So wait you told me you didn't think there was anyway the Estrada match was a draw, when I rescored it a draw. And you just gave Cuadras 5 rounds and said the 8th was damn hard to score, but it couldn't be a draw?:copas:

    I said, people normally score it for Gonzalez, I've never seen anyone score it a draw before. I still haven't.

    But a lot of the rounds were close and despite Gonzalez being the more accurate, Estrada had a huge advantage in hand speed so I can understand more that fight being scored against Gonzalez.

    Against Cuadras the 8th was hard to score, but it would have felt wrong for the decision to go against Gonzalez here.

    Estrada fought a better fight but didn't win his rounds as clearly. That's the best way I can explain it. There's a better argument for Estrada winning 6 than there is for Cuadras, despite how well Cuadras finished the fight.

    But you could see it as a draw, like you just said. I scored it for Roman by a point the first time as well.

    Personally I thought Cuadras not only performed better than Estrada but won the match by a point, you should watch the match again, Cuadras' defense was impeccable he wasn't getting caught nearly as much as people think, he did a brilliant job being a matador in a maelstrom.

    5 rounds to Cuadras, 1 hard to score, that means it could be a draw, at least watch the 8th again.:deal:

    Im sure when I originally mentioned it to you i said i was going to watch both fights which i did over the last week or so.

    The Estrada fight could feasibly be a draw, and that wouldn't have been a bad decision imo, but I did score it to Roman.

    I watched Cuadras again just yesterday. The 8th and the first were both close rounds. Cuadras didn't do any better than Gonzalez in either and giving both his way would be a bit of a stretch. They're difficult to score because I refuse to score even rounds so I had to pick a winner in those two, the 8th was harder than the first to pick a winner in. Finding 7 Cuadras rounds is difficult.

    Under no circumstances would I ever just re score one round though, a fight should be scored in context for me. 12 pieces that form one whole. To score one round on its own to adjust my overall scoring goes against the way I see the sport.

    That being said, even if I did. It was hard enough giving the round to Gonzalez, would be even harder giving it to Cuadras for me.

    Yeah as a kid Myers scared the P..iss out of me and soon became an obsession. 70 percent of my collection is custom made mask ( way too much money TBH) and the other 30 percent are from collectors like myself from Myers Dot net where some are limited runs. On myers net you can grab a decent one for like $200
    Thanks Chris

    They both could be draws, you could even throw a few even rounds in there. You're going out of your way to swing them towards Choclatito, who I like as well, but neither win was decisive and are debatably not wins.

    Remember my Top 100 Horror list, Halloween was number 1, I've seen it well over 20 times. I've been meaning to get a new one, that along with a Predator mask, which will be a ton of cash.:yikes:

    Ive never scored an even round and wont start now, its a cop out.

    Nah I root against him every fight, I always back the underdog. His whole career that hasn't been him. I even bet money on Cuadras. Couldn't turn the odds down.

    I don't particular like Roman, but I respect what he's achieved. Not impressed with his seeming diva attitude towards the Inoue fight.

    The Estrada win wasn't decisive. The Cuadras one was, imo.
