Leary showing the crafty veteran savvy and proving well roundedness usually trumps all, not counting bak out though I still think he can turn it around

Bak looks horrible. His time off didn't do him any favors.

Soren looks very timid. I gonna presume he’s sick or something cause he’s way more explosive than this

He's getting so deep on these shots but somehow can't finish.

Not looking good. Learys lead leg is damaged. That’s the best thing Bak has done.

Too little too late. Bak doesn't have the finishing ability with how gassed he has been. I don't even trust him to get a 10-8.

Idk, it was an entire round of domination. But I kind of wanna lose my $50 as a reminder never to take people coming off a layoff.

I’m actually happy for Leary, biggest win of his career and it’s something he’ll look back on fondly when he retires
