The OFFICIAL discussion thread has arrived, my children. 

This should be a good one, chalk-full of intriguing and semi freak-show attractions. In short, it's everything a major Japan show should be. 

Prelims are set to kick off at 1230am ET Saturday morning. 

Who's staying up -- or getting up -- with me?

This thread is dedicated to hdmexiqtioner, who's day of birthing was recently celebrated!

Maxi up two rounds in my book. Harder shots, TD, and damage.

This looks like an exciting version of Sanchez vs Pearson. Blanco is landing everything, and Hooker is getting a lot of ineffectual offense going. But again, judges love ineffectual offense.

EDIT: Holy ****, that is one thick skull.

Maxi looking great.  2-0 for Blanco.  

Hooker's chin is amazing.  

Don't mess it up in the 3rd Maxi!

I'm almost sure Maxi would actually throw a sink if given the chance.
