I really don't want to see volk lose again. Hopefully he comes prepared this time.

And we need to see what that loss does to his mental game and his fighting style. Up to this point he could rely on his chin to hold up.

Especially considering that it might well be a knockout if he loses. And two KOs in such quick succession have got to be terrible for long term health.

Yeah illia is no joke he's got crazy power. I hope that volk isn't feeling pressured to fight frequently because he sees himself running out of time.
