Tommy's GNP was terrible. I thought it was going to a third round. Maybe it's just me, but splitting a guy open and having his back with a near submission for 2:30 of a round is doing more to win the fight than weak GNP. I could certainly see how you could score it for Tommy, I'm just surprised that all 3 judges had it 20-18. On the whole though I don't think it mattered too much since Warmachine was spent.
Tommy looked good in the second round, he just needs some work. Raw, powerful, but not really ready for prime time right now.
Looks like Serra is going to do the smart thing and pair Tommy and Mac in the quarterfinals, no reason not to.
