This fight is going past the 1st round. I wish to switch my pick from Martin to...the guy that isn't Martin.

I don't even know why I keep picking Martin to win fights. I thought he had such potential

What a great fight. Good rally by Martin. 

Olivieri gave a good account of himself in his debut.

Sloppy decision, but I think that was a draw of a fight anyway.

Dwyer is saying Brown is poking his eyes.  Anyone see that during round 1?
