And the NEW...

I think the Argie's corner had a strategy there. Go all out from the first bell and see if they could blow him out and if it failed pull their guy if possible before he got sparked. I normally always just back the underdog in big fights and I was here but he can fuck off in future fights. I suppose his corner knew what was coming and pulled him before he took some damage but this is the fight of his life eh. If he's not willing to go out on his shield for the chance to win in the biggest fight of his life he can fuck off. He'll have a long way back from this with promoters after quitting like that. No promoter is going to want another main event to end like that so he's going to struggle to get one. No fucking way he gets a rematch. No idea what Jim Gray was on about there, I don't think Showtime will be desperate to show this fucker again anytime soon.

I was surprised at the stoppage, TBH. Of course Matias had all the momentum... but yeah... this was Ponce's day in the sun. Go out in true warrior fashion and win the fans over. I'm sure a lot of them were disappointed in how it ended.

Me? I'm ecstatic to have a new champion.

subriel has forced his last four opponents to retire, matching loma's run. how good would a regis prograis v subriel matias fight be?
