Neal does need to get going. I have a feeling the judges are going to give this fight to Garry if they go to a DEC

this might end up a weird split decision. who knows what judges is seeing what. some shots have landed on the shoulders and forearms, and we have no clue if some judges saw that as punches or kicks landing

I don't like that Neal lands on Ian and then stops puts his hands down and just looks at him. Follow that **** up Neal !

And he is also not able to cut the cage and keeps following Ian movement.

I got it 29-28 Garry, but this fight was so, so close that I wouldn't mind seeing Neal get the win here
