A lot of people were pushing Tagg to enter FC in the BCJ just after the Bertram Bongard too.

Good point. Had those two performances backwards in my mind. Bertram Bongard was the 9 length domination and the Sleepy Hollow was the struggle with Spite the Devil...
on a side note, amazing both these warriors will be facing off again on Saturday!
