Yeah, you were thinking of Enzo-McKenzie.

As for the Fury question, that's an open question I was going to say that.

Surgeon needs to hurry up with the answers because I want to know what Wonjongkam's excuse was for his loss to Sonny Boy Jaro I wasn't aware there was one.

and i got Rios and Broner mixed up for failing to make the weight, cant blame me really they could be twins lol! And i was thinking of Micky Vann who was replaced as ref so even though i didnt remember his name i was thinking of the wrong guy.

Ive no idea what the excuse was, i didnt see the fight let alone read up on the aftermath!
