The Scnell fight was insane glad they let that play out.
Probably top 5 comebacks I can think of.
Wish prelims were on tv my boy Dustin starched Jung.

If you picked Jack Shore

I can't help you.  I broke down everyway they matched up and Ricky literally had every advantage, outside of length.

Striking power = Ricky
UK Wrestling vs Northwest USA Wrestling??? = Ricky x1000
Speed = Can't tell me Jack is faster after that... Ricky
Experience = Ricky
Strength of Schedule = Ricky by a country mile
BJJ Black belt = Ricky (his BJJ Black Belt didn't come from his father)

Jack is young.  He has time to come back and make improvements.  I am sure he will be fine.  He has talent.  But as of right now, books got that line completely flipped.
