Another draw? Damn it

[kevo]

Good performance from Dariusz M, who, despite being a last round draught pick, continues to hold his own (sort of) against the top guys. Congrats to Homyfield.

Congrats also to RJJ, another big win. Hopefully he can kick in from here and go on to make a good case for a HoF career.

[BoxBully]

Good fight between Froch and Leonard. It would have been better to have a decisive winner but oh well.

Holyfield is champeen!

Good fight between Froch and Leonard. It would have been better to have a decisive winner but oh well.

Holyfield is champeen!

I'd like to do an immediate rematch of Froch vs Leonard personally, but I believe I'm obliged to only defend against somebody coming off a win so it's not possible right now. At any rate, we'll settle the draw at some point.

Froch is just coming off a draw with Kessler the week before, so I got some sh*t to work out with him as well.

[gilgamesh]

Good fight between Froch and Leonard. It would have been better to have a decisive winner but oh well.

Holyfield is champeen!

Apparently we can settle the draw in Week 14. It's up to you to say yes or no...and you'd better hurry because an offer is out to Crease as well.
