Three things happened here that can not possibly happen.....and yet....


Sven Ottke over Gerald McClellan? woah....Fantasy land....

And of course Nigel Benn KO over Frankie Liles?.....Just not acceptable.

And Dominguez wins a fight this season? Time to do a complete virus check on the old hard drive FOL.....somethin' aint right.

[armageto]

Close fight with DeLeon and Jirov. No problem with the draw.

Liles is still KO'd as I type this....
