against both damage faced guy past trouble worried
I was more worried about Moises Alou, personally, just because of past experience. Moises for me is a guy I've had a lot of trouble with, and I think I've faced him a lot more as well. They are both dangerous, but I think Alou has done a lot more damage against me.

I was more worried about Moises Alou, personally, because of past experience. Both are dangerous but Alou has done more damage to me.
