Sort of a bump:

Here's the Main Page version of the above (plus the Fortuna bout from the 22nd):

http://www.the13thround.com/ttround/ite ... ordID=1581

[the13r]

i'm surprised Rusalee saw the 12th round

[KSTAT124]

i'm surprised Rusalee saw the 12th round

I was too. Then again, much of what happened today surprised me! I picked Naoya to win but I didn't expect him to dominate and destroy Narvaez in two rounds!

I knew Yaegashi was in for a tough fight with Guevara but I expected him to eke out a hard-fought but well-earned decision. He too was dominated and then dropped for the count with that wicked shot to the body! That looked painful, really painful!

The Linares-Prieto fight went the way I thought it would as did Takuma's bout with Nestor Narvaes. However, Takuma's weight (114) was surprising.

I also thought Murata might stop Nicklow but he did pitch a ten-round shutout!

I updated my rankings through today's fights but we still have a lot of fights to go before the end of the year!

[KSTAT124]

Based on today's results:

http://www.the13thround.com/ttround/ite ... ordID=1582

I have some more updating to do!

[the13r]

i'll update!

Just getting everything ready today (format; inactivity lists; PMs if necessary). I won't do the actual compiling and posting until tomorrow evening.
