0:40 * Gibson is halting this fight. * That's it folks. The gash over Torres's eye is too bad for him to continue. This fight is over. Moorer is the winner via TKO! 0:9

Re: Week 27 LHW outcomes including Moore/Burns
BOTH OF MY FIGHTERS GOT ROBBED!!!!
Qawi acknowledges that Michalczewski gave him hell, but the South Korean judge with his 96-93 score was far more accurate than the two judges who scored for DM. At worst Qawi should've won by 95-94 margins on those two scorecards. We'll be looking for a rematch in the near future.
As for the draw verdict in Maxim vs Rosenbloom...I mean that was just absolutely ridiculous. It was clearly 7 rounds to 3 or 6 rounds to 4 in favor of Maxim...6 to 4 Maxim being generous to Rosenbloom who got his ass whipped by Joey and he knows it.
We won't even acknowledge this as a draw in our record book as we feel so strongly we were robbed. We consider it a victory. We already had a prior engagement with Hopkins for the next week, but after that we'll see if Rosenbloom wants to take another whipping or run off into the sunset with his BS draw.
Terrible Judging in the Sim this week. Good performances from my fighters
