I also liked Amir. Great heart and never give up attitude. He did a good job of continuing to get back up and it paid off eventually with that nice knee.

Hmm, I was kind of eating while I watched that fight so I might be wrong, but I thought Patrick was winning the stand-up until the TD. I can see how the judges gave it to Cale since he was throwing combinations whereas Patrick was throwing one punch (although it was strong and very effective).
The thing is, while the striking was close, I'd give the slight edge to Patrick and the knockdown should have been bigger than that TD and control for the last min of the round.
As for Amir, I know he won't win, but I'll be rooting for him to the very end. Amir has a lot of raw potential, he was defending the TDs really well at the 2nd round and there were some good scrambles. He should probably hook up with AKA or Jackson's camp and train with some top wrestlers.
Oh, and I loved his post-fight comments. I pissed myself when he won because he was getting hammered by Gerald (props to him, those slams were awesome!). Anyways, I can't wait for the next episode ...
