Saw that coming. Henrique was touching Saki. Rountree is quick and hits hard.

@bach I am often surprised how easily he seems to get written off by the community. Hed has very good hand speed, straights ands power and I've never seen him in a fight where he looked terrible.

I like Khalil. Like his attitude. Very calm and confident. He's only getting better.

The way Saki covered up tells me he is still not used to the 4 oz. gloves. If it were kickboxing he would have blocked that straight I think.

I feel like Pettis never really recovered from that shellacking RDA gave him.

Fish it's crazy how up and down he has been since that RDA loss. It's crazy. Seems like just yesterday that he sparked Cowboy and tapping Benson. Wild career.

Pettis fights are hard to pick. 

If the guy who has mostly shown up for the last couple of years shows up, Chiesa will probably overwhelm him. 

If the Pettis of old manages to show up, Chiesa is gonna get lit up.
