Thanks for the props you guys. There was no need to sticky this although its much easier when I slack off. I work alone and live alone with two demon dogs so at times I cant get around. @Greenbeanz @Master @greynotsoold thanks again.

Michael Grant was watching and probably crapping himself.

Lewis was hurt in the first round and got hit with a big left hook in the second. Forgot about that. Lewis started taking over in round 3. Brigs weighed 225lbish and put on a good effort.
