Thoughts: Tuna and ice cream don't mix. You can fry it, boil it, you can cook it longer, whatever, it's not going to work. The warm-up matches for this weren't that good and this wasn't that good either. It just wasn't a great combination and the match was not that interesting. It also ended up going too long. I don't know how you make this one work and I don't want to watch them try and figure it out again.
