That sealed it for Cruz...he'll be robbed if he loses this decision. **********Automerged Doublepost********** Yeah, great fight...taking his back at the end sealed it for Cruz. Wouldn't mind seeing these guys go at it again soon. Bring on Torres and Bowles!!!
I haven't seen much of Bowles, just one fight, but Torres is a beast. He can beat you in stand up or on the ground. Torres has a rock chin, I've never seen him get hurt.
His last fight was the only one that he ever went the distance in. He was never really rocked, but that Japanese guy put him to the test. And Bowles is a damn good fighter dude.
Wow, first time I've seen Torres go down but doesn't seem hurt. **********Automerged Doublepost********** UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! I thought Torres had Bowles out and then wtf just happened?
HOLY FREAKING CRAP... Sorry Mike... WOW... **********Automerged Doublepost********** It was the short right...
WOW, unreal...Bowles has a hell of a chin because he ate three solid shots and clipped Torres and Torres just dropped. He's obviously got some power as well. Well I can say I've seen Torres hurt now....out freaking cold.
