Of all the ways I thought Di Chirico was going to win this, I didn't think KO would be it.  I thought it would a tough, grind it out decision victory like his fight with McClellan.

Killa Trujillo is going to KO the crap out of Makdessi, me thinks.  Makdessi is a tough dude, but his chin works against him.

I think Makdessi will be able to avoid the big shots on the feet and Trujillo's striking hasn't looked good in his last couple fights. I think he'll try to grind him out on the ground.

So many tough fights to pick on this card, including this one.

So an eye poke and a low blow.  All we need now is a knee to a downed opponent for the trifecta.

I missed the first round but Makdessi looks like he had this and Trujillo looked tentative as hell.

I don't remember Trujillo ever looking great standing but he looked horrible,and he's really let his wrestling go.I rarely get excited for a Makdessi fight.I'm amazed this fight even happened with these guys always pulling out of fights or never having fights signed.

That was an abysmal performance by Trujillo.  Never seen him look that average.

*** Trujillo, he had a clear path to win instead of point strike with a point striker, ughh.

That's kind of funny Taleb saying he didn't mean to KO him with the kick.
