Was wondering when someone was going to try 'hot chocolate'.

It started with a kiss

Has Bell been officially eliminated from the tournament?

[JDC]

I think he's out, but still has a match-up left

Wow, you just walk away from one of your own. That's dirt cheap. We have only given up one fighter in our history, because we wanted to share championships with others. Ours was an act of philanthropy. Yours an act of abandonment. We faced the best to show that Walker was the best, and we took on another top fighter to help guide him to a destiny of being "top draw".

It's a sad day for the BRS.

All season the trouble within the camp has been squarely laid at the feet of Bell.

After the recent poor judgments in Tommy Bell's fights he has gone AWOL from the camp. All attempts to contact him have been in vain. We have backed him fully in the press and in private throughout his time with us, so this lack of professionalism on his behalf is the reason for us parting ways. All we can assume is that he has begun talks with another camp promising to return him to WBU level. The determination shown by Cocoa through these times has been hard to ignore, whilst Bell's love for the sport seems to have diminished.

I'm afraid this could be the Bell end.
