Well

I didn’t think it was out of the question…but I didn’t expect him to stop Torres….especially not in that fashion.

Oh yea

Torres had Bowles hurt…and was tagging him…and Bowles through a right hand that hit Torres in the ear…which knocks that equilibrium off…and viola…

Yeah, but the shots that finally put him out on the ground were FLUSH on the chin. I love Torres but Bowles is a beast. That first shot he nailed Torres with was ridiculous.
