Not everybody saw this as a 50/50 fight. The only people in that thread from January 10th who thought Dejan was going to win were CST80 and Lepinthehood. Opinion was 6 to 2 against Dejan winning. That's not a 50/50 fight.
Beating an unbeaten guy who's 3 inches taller than you. If Z-man took this, I'd be impressed as hell.
I knew Mikey would whoops dudes ass, but to say the fight wasn't dangerous is massively misleading. Likewise you had people like Schaefer on record saying he told Mikey to take an easier fight. Take this Monday morning QB'ing some place else.
Mikey got walked down? He utilized one of boxings most basic tactics. Step back, measure with the lead and find an opening for a counter. Step back, measure with the lead hand, step back in and punch. Rinse and repeat.
