Damn. GSP had a good round in there, but the rest of the time, he wasn't quite up to snuff. He needs a fine tune, which will be difficult since he is capped. But a fine-tune is necessary to take him to that next level for sure.
Edit: Wait, the judges called this a SPLIT? It was decent, and a little close sometimes, but GSP was on the receiving end of so much damage...dayum! Meh well...good for GSP I guess? But I still think he needs those fine-tunes to be champ-material. Especially with a 10-12 record now.

Damn. GSP had a good round in there, but the rest of the time, he wasn't quite up to snuff. He needs a fine tune, which will be difficult since he is capped. But a fine-tune is necessary to take him to that next level for sure.
Edit: Wait, the judges called this a SPLIT? It was decent, and a little close sometimes, but GSP was on the receiving end of so much damage...dayum! Meh well...good for GSP I guess? But I still think he needs those fine-tunes to be champ-material. Especially with a 10-12 record now.
