For either of them to put their career on the line over one fight is insane. The loser must retire, and I dont see this fight turning into anything but a blood bath. You may remember Shizzat is the guy that got into it with Big Booty Daddy. There are also going to be a ton of great under cards as well as hot chicks....

The AT&T Byron Nelson At TPC Craig Ranch Is The Perfect Primer For The PGA Championship
