    When PG attacks LD's body, he forces weak returns. Happens once again. PG 15-14

    It seems to me LD looks 'scared', not his confident self. Looks trouble.

    two tired old men.

    i think LD is saving up. he can easily win this but he is not. he just want to walk around and around.

    A desperate dive by PG is to no avail. LD forces PG into a poor position and drops it down. 19-15
