Yeah that didn't look like a grab on replay. I can see why the announcers would think it would be super controversial with OSP's corner screaming bloody murder about it

lol I am always extra supportive of our lightskin brothers as they are just as part of the community as the rest of us and often receive extra hate for being such.

The closest I can think of is he resembles that real rear end in a top hat boss Disco Kid from Punch Out on Wii. Tho if i'm completely honest I find myself rooting for him this time because of the size discrepency

I think I hate him because he had one super boring fight that made me hate him forever. Probably not fair at all but still.

That was mostly Rozebstruik tho' right? If I recall correctly Gane just didn't need to risk anything and Rozebstruik just didn't push back at all

I remember thinking it felt like neither fighter was pushing 99% of the fight. Like Gane got a slight advantage and just didn't fight after that, sitting back and waiting. I think Rozebstruik was more at fault of course, but in my mind Gane shared some of the blame.

It's probably not fair and maybe I just need to rewatch it, but I remember not being happy with either fighter.

I think that about tracks with my recollection, Rozenstruik refused to do anything if he couldn't counterpunch and Gane didn't give him the chance when it came down to it. I'm not willing to rewatch it though lol.

Oof that eye poke looked nasty

What do you think feels worse

being on the losing end of a 50-45 or being finished in the first minute of round 1

Submission or KO?

Either if you have opinions on both--


I feel like being submitted would be worse than being KO'd since you can say you just got caught, but you have to really gently caress up bad to get submitted that fast generally

depends on if the first minute is a mark hunt ko or an armbar

Submission worse than the 50-45 worse than KO, unless you go for a sucker punch off the fist bump and get got (which is equal to tap to strikes within 1 minute).
