The production is so unbelievably bad. The sound quality, the image quality...

Tony Lopez's legacy as an NHB legend was already cemented. This is just icing on the cake.

I have a dumb opinion that I wish to be corrected: Interim belts should be done away with. I'm sure there's a good argument for interim belts that has to do with contracts and whatever, and I haven't heard it. I just really hate the idea of someone being made champion without actually winning a fight.

The only real argument is long term injuries with a known but lengthy time off. Dominick Cruz's ACL injury is a good example. If they know you're not going to be able to fight for 18 months, then an interim champion makes more sense than stripping somebody.

If somebody just doesn't want to fight or if they have an injury that should heal within a year, I don't personally like interim belts either. In the first case strip them and in the latter set up a #1 contender fight.

Actual real reason: Belts make bucks and more people will pay for title fights so until title fights are so watered down that this is no longer true, interim belts will keep coming

Since this is true, then there should be more belt stripping and no interim belts. Champion isn't gonna be able to fight for six months? Strip him of the title and make a match for the vacant title.

But if belt is good then two belts must be better, and an interim title now means a title vs title fight in the future.

Ugh, and that's why I hate interim belts!! It's not a title vs title fight! It's some guy holding a fake title vs. the real title holder. Oh, but then when the guy with the fake belt wins, it's revealed that he was actually the real champion all along! It's so damn dumb. I hate interim belts and interim belt matches so much.

So I thought Till was going to knock out Wonderboy, I was kind of close in that he did knock him down and went on to win.

My new prediction -

Yoel Romero is going to knock out Robert Whittaker. I want to be wrong about this but I feel it in my gut like I did with Till. On paper a fully healed up Whittaker without a bad leg like in the first fight should take this, and take it easily... but Romero has that crazy X factor.

Romero has the power of God behind him. It's just a matter of when God will bless him with that knock down/knock out.

I think he can knock out Whittaker but I want Whittaker to win because I just don't like Romero.

I got a feeling... that the soldier of God is taking this one by KO/TKO. But i really want Whittaker to win.

Whittaker is about that Bethesda games life. Elder Scrolls Online and said he's played every Fallout.
