I feel sorry for Leon, won 9 foights in a row, sat out forever and returned when they had a card at high altitude.

Not a winner.

Usman is the only fighter tonight that has more energy as the fight goes on. Almost like he's on roids or something..

Really exhausting trying to bridge under that position. Edwards' cardio is going to fall off a cliff next round.

Honestly Leon fading already in rd 2 after winning the first you gotta wonder a little bit about his cardio. He looked flat already at the start of the 2nd I thought.
