Really refreshing hearing a lead commentator that actually knows what's going on and is articulate. Sorry Goldberg.

Burkman has looked even worse though.  Harris took that 2nd round.  We'll see what happens in the 3rd.

I wonder how the judges will score R2. One long sub attempt vs burkman out-striking harris for all the rest of it.

I don't think Harris was trying to finish at all. I think he knew if he was able to hold it he would get the round.

I understand your reasoning.. I just think Burkman's striking is crap.  He hit air most of the time.

I think you're probably right. Horrible way to win a round though, I do agree w/ you on that.

Bas thinks Harris needs to finish... I guess that means Bas thinks Burkman won R1 and R2 .... but I dunno how the judges will see it.

Man.. this is what I mean... Burkman won't follow up!  He's letting Harris take the damn round.  I picked Harris, but I'm rooting like hell for Burkman.

I think with that flurry and TD, Burkman will take R3 and take the fight.

Holy crap.. that will be one hell of a fight to call.  I think you're probably right @Greg.. only b/c he got full mount.
