Not bad but not as good as their previous cards. They should step this one up a bit. Monson vs. Garner would do the trick or Garner or Monson vs. AA, Sergei, Soa, Grabowski, Raz or some other new solid HW signing.

Not bad and its good to see M1 showing some more talents, building up their roster full of top athletes.
