    Yeah I honestly love HW fights.

    I, for the life of me, cannot understand the hate HW gets on here sometimes.

    I know you will change but for clarity I am assuming fights 1-4-14-16-17-21-23 you mean the first fights? But don’t want it to be an assumption. Nice first draft. I am still thinking on mine
