Glad this one is on BTN I still think 125 is the most interesting match for both teams. Our studs are neutralized by their studs. That is killing us and why it will be tough for us to win.

Really looking forward to watching this tonight. Matches at 125, 157, 184, and HWT could tell us a lot about our chances in March. 141 and 174 should be interesting as well. Topher's got good game (and improving), and Meyer...well, he's Meyer (feast or famine). Hoping BS can hold Zain to a decision, but Zain is hard to slow down. Like the rest of you, I'm really interested to see what shakes out at 174 with the news on Hall. If he goes, it will be very difficult to pull this one off...

You better hope the hockey game is over by 8:00.
