yeah its possible. I was extremely impressed by Edgar's ability to keep his composure through out the rest of the fight and fight out a draw however i think a large part of this was because Gray was head hunting the entire fight and not really fighting smart.

This fight could go either way and it will mainly just depend on who has prepared better and worked harder.

been looking forward to this fight since the second after the decision was announced in their last fight.
