Interesting fight. Charles won round one, but it kinda felt like Rory was letting him and just biding his time. Not really letting him do massive damage, despite doing solid work. Then in round 2, Rory made his case for that being the case, as he started beating the tar-piss out of CHarles and kept doing that, slowly but surely, until the fight ended, via CHarles being like "Nah, I regret being bored and don't want my arm broken again!" and tapped.

Interesting fight. Charles won round one, but it kinda felt like Rory was letting him and just biding his time. Not really letting him do massive damage, despite doing solid work. Then in round 2, Rory made his case for that being the case, as he started beating the tar-piss out of CHarles and kept doing that, slowly but surely, until the fight ended, via CHarles being like "Nah, I regret being bored and don't want my arm broken again!" and tapped.
