What about Chuck? Does this close another chapter for his career. I know he isn’t done yet but he is probably starting to think about it. You wrote “Chuck gets caught by a huge left hook and drops Chuck.” Maybe Chuck is his worst enemy LOL. Great coverage but needs more bloody details. Where any titles on the line?
