Can't say there are levels to the game if you get leveled like that. That all goes away when someone is face down.

Two early knockouts, four rounds total... What the fùck was I thinking in wasting a x2 on Kano and picking a Nakatani decision? :lol1: The lower weight classes from 105-115 have always been unpredictable because the champions, historically, had short title reigns. They're kinda like UFC fighters, they KO each other before they have a chance to defend their belts (with rare exceptions like Anderson Silva). So it's difficult pick a definitive winner no matter how much tape one has watched.

He came to the gym with his eyebrows done the day he was going to get his first outfit done. His coach Rudy Hernandez instantly told the outfit guy to put " Princesa " on the trunks. His original nickname was suppose to be Tony " The Tiger " Olascuaga. Lmfao Really ??? if this is true that is funny as fugh

Why would a man take on the nick name "princess"? Bad choice! :lol1: He came to the gym with his eyebrows done the day he was going to get his first outfit done.

When does this quarter end, btw? If it's soon, I'm going out swinging... Master thread says August 31. Looking forward to seeing what picks you come up with. We both made some big jumps this round. Using the multipliers helps, eh?

Chris still has 4 multipliers too! I'm just waiting to be overtaken at this point too. Surely more upsets to come. When does this quarter end, btw? If it's soon, I'm going out swinging...

Olascuaga vs Kano https://********/NFov8G-WvCc

I figured Olascuaga would go after Kano, because he's a slugger and Kano is not. I just didn't think he'd destroy him so fast! As for Astrolabio, every Filipino fighter has dreams of being the next Pacquiao, but Manny was special. Those are big shoes to fill.

I told you guys about Anthony " Princessa " Olascuaga a while back. The kid is No Joke. Good speed , reflexesand Big boy power in both hands. Congratulation Tony and Junto. Why would a man take on the nick name "princess"? Bad choice! :lol1:

Boy, were you and the other guys right - shame on my non-knowledge! I thought Olascuaga had been ruined by Teraji... I figured Olascuaga would go after Kano, because he's a slugger and Kano is not.

Finally got to watch this. Great work by Anthony, Tenshin, and Junto. Several fights that looked closer on paper. I thought Olascagua was going to be a huge step up in competition for Kano, but I wasn't expecting that much leather flying, Anthony getting the better of most every exchange IMO. I've been thinking Tenshin would be dangerous as soon as he announced his transition to boxing, and he's got to be pleased about that first real KO finish. He looked like his hand speed was on a completely different level from Rodriguez, never mind skill. And Junto strikes me as the kind of guy who could maybe get in shouting distance of that Pacman record. I wouldn't be surprised to see him earn titles in 6 divisions, anyways, as he fills out. Him vs Bam or Inoue would be very good fights.
