The rematch is going to be so important for Anthony now. He really needs to win and he's going to have to fight a whole lot smarter.

Agreed, I wasn't sure about Jan vs Luke. Luke needs to find his way again.

TBH as funny as it was I thought Paulie won that fight on points. That's not to say he was brilliant, the fight was there to be taken Artem was just far too stupid to take it. He had success every time he pressured Paulie but only did it once or twice it was incredibly frustrating to watch.

DC vs Stipe is so hard to call. I'm rooting for DC just because I'm a fan.

I don't buy into the rumours beforehand. If Joshua doesn't want to discuss them and take away from Ruiz, I don't either.

Artem was screwed over by the ref to be fair. He was breaking clinches which are perfectly legal in bkb.

I like DC but he's retiring soon so I wouldn't mind seeing Stipe take it back.
