Orlin gets the job done.
Kevo thanks for your willingness to stand up and send your fighter in, where others were too sensible to do so.
It seperates you from the average and mundane.
And that's important.

Re: CRW Season Week 24 fights 7-12
Jirov slept walked thru that one. Glad he got the KO. Even with the BS point deduction, don't see how any judge could have Kessler winning. Calzaghe won his rounds pretty clear. Oh well, I'll take the wins.
