Honestly though I still believe Viera is the better fighter. She got complacent and ate a hook from hell right on the button. I still think she wins that fight 8/10 times.

I have a feeling this will end in controversy. Like a dr stoppage. I have a feeling Mike Perry's face is gonna get cut up or something.

I knerw the damage would add up on Perry eventually and Neal has the technique to deliver those precision strikes!  Look out 170er, we got a new contender!
