  • To me the gameplan for Costa because he's considered the underdog in this one, it would be to press forward a lot in a an intelligent way, he has to crowd him as much as possible dont give Whittaker too much time and space because he's technically very good. Overall if I'm going to bet and I feel this is a tough to choose, I will say Whittaker.

What I saw was two of the sloppiest, most pathetic incapable guys on the roster who were way past their prime, unable to string anything together and result to slobbering and bleeding on eachother, mocking the sport and purpose of being an expert at your trade.
