Re: BTW Season Week #23 World Title Fights
That last round though
Re: BTW Season Week #23 World Title Fights
I thought I'd need a knockdown, maybe even a stoppage to win it. Huge 15th round for Herman and his great season continues. The Thailand judge was WAY off in scoring. Great fight from Brown, although I think he under estimated Herman.

He knew how good Herman was, but like all the greats he thought he was (and still believes himself to be) better.armageto wrote:I thought I'd need a knockdown, maybe even a stoppage to win it.
