I hate when tournament fights end like this.
A controversial stoppage for sure.
But when you put the plans in and run it and this is what comes up, the tournament convenor must live with the referee's ruling.
A very tough break for Young Gun who was hoping to prove he's one of our brightest new managers. A lucky break for Orange or a sign of the devestation he's capable of?
