Congrats to Baltimore for the close match. As I scrolled down, I thought I was coasting, but that second half was a bit of a return to earth.
The old guard had a spotty debut at best, with big Ike being a particular disappointment with his two losses and one by an onerous DQ. I was halfway hoping to go with a plan B during the roster phase, and exile Ike when umk looked like he would claim him, and now I'm wondering if Plan B should have been plan A. Quntana pulled a surprise beating Cocoa Kid but then showing his vulnerability in the second round match. Eddie Cotton is already making me wonder why I made him a priority, especially when his more lightly regarded LHW teammate, George Nichols, enjoyed success in both matches while he managed more poorly.
Speaking of Nichols, I'll be resurrecting my fighter of the week again this season, and Nichols, who fought over his head both matches to preserve stoppage wins for the Beavers, seems to be the likely first week winner. Caballero who also fared very well, is in the running, but also earned fights he was expected to win.
Disappointment for the squad include not only the dismal Ibeabuchi, but both of my Flyweights as well, who each fared less than expected against Baltimore's Flyweight duo.
