Quoted By:
DC beat Stipe first time around because he had noticed a massive gap in his boxing.
Not to take anything away from Stipe but DC has a massive fight I.Q he is just too small and stocky. It took Stipe 3 rounds to understand "Maybe I should fight long and strong and hit the body" Then he popped him 10 times in the body in the exact same spot and KOed DC.
Really in a perfect world Stipe would have taken no damage at all in that fight.
Pic is my favourite fighter and someone who had a big impact on Stipe.
