They screwed Huck out of the WTF Title. The Cut wasn't that bad!

I want a rematch with Qawi! You got lucky punk.

I want a rematch with Qawi! You got lucky punk.

If the rematch can happen (can you fight for a minor title coming off a loss?) we can do it. Huck was the lucky one - no way he shakes him up so badly so quickly second time around - he just failed to capitalise. Qawi welcomes the right-hand target practice.

As far as I know anything goes with the Minor Titles. Huck is now ranked below the Top 10 so he's eligible for the rematch

[BoxBully]

The CPU Champ's reign has ended. I was worried after an early knockdown and a cut

[BoxBully]

WTF title earned its name that time

[gilgamesh]

WTF title earned its name that time

Yeah...cuz Huck got robbed!

[Fist of Legend]

Benn was probably fighting the best fight hes fought all season but he couldn't finish Roy and got Knocked out in another fight he was winning.

he seems to get insanely careless after hurting or dropping his opponents, makes for exciting fights but is a bit frustrating.

[BoxBully]

well with a dude named Whitey Bimstein as cutman in Roy's corner how can he lose? Whiteyyyyyyy Bimsteeeeeeeeeen
