Oh what a great feeling to have a stable of Champions again, especially after last week.

I knew my team had it in them to do it, hard work and dedication! great job boys!

Benn is now a 2 time IBO champion and is planning to keep the title to the end, all challengers welcome

Gomez adds even more gold to his already illustrious resume and becomes only the third man to defeat "The Real Deal" this season. (it might have been somewhat controversial as Holyfield was ahead on all scorecards at the time of stoppage, but so was Leonard's win vs Gomez last week, maybe the refs were trying to rectify their mistake.)

Gomez is looking to take this momentum into Round 4 of the tournament and beat Joe Calzaghe in their rematch, Gomez was ahead on the cards but stopped on a cut in the first fight.

Dariusz unlucky there, that was shaping up to be a hell of a scrap (as usual!). Congrats to Jirov

Roy is in a strong position in the Supe Six now, heart was in my mouth reading that fight!

Roy is in a strong position in the Supe Six now, heart was in my mouth reading that fight!

Calzaghe comes up short,but good fight. Second fight in a row he fades near the end.

Dariusz vs Jirov might be the most epic sim rivalry of all time......
