It was close, I thought Steele took it though.

Thought Roberts deserved the win there. He landed way more in the third and thought Steele's flurry was overstated.

Getting that appealed is way too far, it was a close fight.  Even the crowd wasn't all too upset about it

 I know it was close I would be pretty pissed if was steele , but judging by his character I think he will be extremely motivated to improve after that , roberts too , he knows it was close

Should be a good win for Pettis, beating Kelades at his own game.

Can we stop pretending that OSP is a "up and comer"? The dude is 33, not really a prospect or "future star" at this point.
