I have Bruce Leroy by decision. Always like seeing the guys who throw a bunch of different techniques win.

I'm definitely more unsure about my Leeroy pick than any other so far tonight.  Figueroa is a tough test.

Rorschach when Cope does hit the ground limp let me know because he didn't there.  Stittgen hit the ground limp not Cope

Leeroy is pretty tough, but I still think he'll lose by TKO/KO perhaps in the later rounds.

Figueroa isn't a test, he's a legit contender and future title challenger. Caceres is El Feroz's test.
