OH MY LAWD, WHAT A GREAT ROUND 1!  How Brazzo Cowboy could comeback from getting his nose broken and getting knocked down hard and just beat the living hell out of Medeiros is crazy to me.  Hopefully there is two more rounds of that please.

Yancy earned that one. He toughed out a huge onslaught early and another and another.

Alex Cowboy's body finally gave up on him. Medeiros is incredibly tough.

DAMN. What a fight.
