Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

CommonShore: Jun 6, 2014; A true renaissance man

Fight of the Year
Cody Gibson vs Rolando Velasco, TPF 27

Big Dan/Lil Kim Dumbass Referee Decision
TPF 27, Cody Gibson vs Rolando Velasco - Mark Lawley deducts a point from Cody Gibson for an accidental eye poke which Mark Lawley didn't see and which Gibson called against himself by stepping back and allowing Velasco to recover while apologizing. Gibson managed to win the decision anyway, but that's no excuse for this idiocy.
