Wow, the fix was in on Gomez, comes in Undertrained and still put Leonard on his ass and then the ref ChristoPooPoo stops it with 10 seconds left while Gomez is still on his feet. Leonard couldn't win on the cards so the ref gave it to him.

being a big fan of both Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns I've never liked Ray Leonard all that much and now his sim counter part is doing me no favors either, that damn sugary bastard!

[kevo]

Not a bad week, Dariusz getting the win over a foe who's always beaten him in the past, and RJJ getting a rather fortuitous draw with the number #1 fighter in the Super Six.

[Crease]

I shall update the results tomorrow.

[armageto]

Calzaghe picked a bad time to have one of his disappearing act fights. Hats off to Ward though.

Jirov off to a great start in the Silver tourney.

Jirov off to a great start in the Silver tourney.

Jirov obviously was using some sort of loaded gloves......

It's 1 and 1......there should be a rubber match......Liles is suffering from the psychological drama of being unfairly booted out of the super six by the political class. So he was brooding which took his focus off of the fight.

Being a fan of Roberto Duran, I dont really like him either. It was just that he was the best boxer left for second last pick in the draft
I never expected him to be TKO'ing guys in the Super Six

stupid Headbuttfield came in overtrained
