In another season and another set of circumstances Panama Al sits atop the pile. It's just demoralising the way he loses fights.

Larios did me proud and to be honest Morales looked no better than him.

Cheers Commish, you gave me a dose I couldn't handle.

Larios did me proud and to be honest Morales looked no better than him.

Cheers Commish, you gave me a dose I couldn't handle.

Larios performed much better in that 3rd bout with Morales than he did in the 2nd that's for sure.

If not for those 2 extra knockdowns that would've been a real, real tight decision.

Though Morales has gone 2-0-1 against Larios this season. He's had to work for it every time, and has a lot of respect for Larios.

Later in the season maybe we can see how Larios vs Chandler plays out.

[gilgamesh]

2 New World Champions here in Olivares and Sixto Escobar, and Jofre scores another impressive stoppage this time avenging a loss earlier in the season over Panama Al.

Looking forward to the Quarter Finals.

15 rounds from here on out boys!!!

[Crease]

15 rounds from here on out boys!!!

I was under the impression that the fights were going to be 15 rounders after the first three Group Stages fights. But ah well.
