Ouch...That third slam might have hurt Bailey's elbow a bit, if not a lot.

It's happened to me when I've watched FB prelims. In that at times I will have great sound and quality and then all of a sudden the sound will dminish and the picture will be fuzzy and then it will switch again. Nothing like that as happened so far.

And damn Castillo is making me glad I picked him, I was nervous at first but phew :D

Castillo smashed on Shamar. I don't know why Shamar is facing such tough opposition so early.

Good stoppage, did not expect a TKO stoppage after the Dunham fight.

I picked Castillo, so oh well, but I was rooting for Bailey. Kind of a quick stoppage IMO, GnP didn't seem to be doing a ton of damage. Oh well, he would have probably finished it eventually at that pace.

I didn't see the stoppage as premature. Shamar was not defending himself intelligently enough,

Ah so that's why Castillo is miffed. I remember reading three guys not making weight and only one of them manage to make weight on another attempt (Torres)
