Uh.....WTF?

Just a few questions for the record here.

*WBC and WBA fights were allowed to take place? In defiance of a court order? Damn.

*Reading the end of this fight........well....it's just a scandal of the highest magnitude.

NEVER has there been a more fixed fight in the history of simboxing.

The REF HAS SEEN ENOUGH? ENOUGH WHAT? Money from the Escobar camp?

I defy anyone to read that and make sense of it.

This is it, Congress MUST review simboxing... and make changes to clean out the corruption!

What an epic war!!! Erik Morales fought hard against an incredibly tough Olivares to take the title in one of the truly great Sim Wars of the season. You can beat after fighting that hard to get it, Morales isn't going to be letting the title go that easily.

Escobar clearly won that fight, IMO.

Great 15th round for Herman to pull the fight out. I thought the winner of the last round would have won the fight, but it seems Herman needed the KO to win.

[Techno89]

How was that a draw Escobar clearly won that fight

well done to Terry what a KO shot.
