Decision after decision. I heard the Southworth fight was really boring. Makes me not feel so bad for not having HDNet. Thompson must be a bad ass to take all of the rounds.

good call tom, i thought it would be a tough fight, but i did not think gilbert would lose, thompson looked real good.there where a couple of good fights but overall not that great of a card, but hdnet is definetly worth having.

I didnt think Josh would be able to dominate like he did. Wow that was a superb performance. He looked very sharp. He kinda slowed down at about the end of the third though but still they way he fought that night he wont be going to the 4th and 5th against most opponents. He was inches away on KOing Gilbert on several occasions. A lot of them being knees. I am really wanting to see K.J fight J.T in a cross promtion fight. That would be a very explosive fight.
