Re: BTW Season Week #15 World Championship fights
DAMN IT!!!! If Morales would've only gotten 1 or 2 more of those rounds.
Ah well, what can you do? Good fight from both men, and congratulations to the man who still holds the title Pete Herman.

Re: BTW Season Week #15 World Championship fights
I'm about to nominate the Award nominees. There's really only 3 nominees for KO of the Week in my mind. A fair number of Fight of the Week nominees. I guess there's no more fights to be ran huh FoL?Fist of Legend wrote:i've got to go for now, ill do the rankings later on tonight.

Yes I'd be quite frustrated if I were you as well. That's a very frustrating way to lose period, much less to lose a title that way.DMA1987 wrote:effing disgusting.

Re: BTW Season Week #15 World Championship fights
Lynch took a beating as expected. Figured it was his only chance at maybe a major title shot, why not take it. His disappointing season continues, but not too late to turn it around.
Herman has been a pleasant surprise this season. Another good effort from him in a close fight.

Re: BTW Season Week #15 World Championship fights
Lynch lasted a long time in there with the WBO champ
Re: BTW Season Week #15 World Championship fights
Nonsense, the judges are of course always impressed with GBP commitment to the highest ethical standards, and when they saw that Panama Al was simply using a foul as a way to get out of a hopeless situation, they simply granted him his wish. Jeff was about to dismember his opponent....very lucky that Panama Al was able to make it that far.....we take our hat off to him.DMA1987 wrote:Judging fix seemed to be coming in anyway.

And then we put the IBF belt on....and add it to Jeffs collection.....once WBC and current IBF champ is clearly the best of the best.
A second round draft choice from an organization that was near dead last in the draft pics.
You see? It's ALL about proper and thoughtful management regimens.
Fenech.....two time champion
Barry..... undefeated in life, undefeated in sim.
Two simulated top ten rated athletes, mentoring success for others to admire and aspire toward.
Re: BTW Season Week #15 World Championship fights
Oh please. Your man was done.
