2nd round is the game changer, think Jared landed more punches, and kicks to the body.

29-28 Big Show

I had it 29-28 rosholt. I think striking with harris in the first was rosholts plan. Probably trying to let harris punch himself out. Big guy with a lot of muscle throwing bombs, its a recipe for gassing out. Especially when harris had questionable cardio coming in cause of all the first round finishes on his record.

This is exactly how I had hoped this fight would be.  Great ground war so far.
