Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 188th

The fighters are weighed in and there was only one change to the preliminary card. 

The main card has some fun match-ups, but eagle-eyed members should be able to spot some top prospects scattered throughout the Spike.com broadcast. 

Prelims should begin between 630 and 7pm ET followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm.

Both had control for a round and a half each and both didn't do much when they had that control ...

Bowman's got a great chin and good cardio but the fight IQ of a dingle-berry ... I just hate when wrestlers totally disregard the wrestling ... mix it up man!

@thefreeman, I think what he meant was there's never REALLY a draw round, as in there's always someone that did that inch more, not that it's not in the rules.

Not saying if I agree, just that's what he meant, imo.

@yossgold I can forgive him for his questionable opinion much more easily than simply being inept, thank you for your explanation!

He still doesn't know where the liver is though!

I agree that 10-10 rounds are rare.  Very few where one fighter doesn't edge the other out, however slightly.  The judge's job is to make that decision
