2:25 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Jones Jr's eye; it has to be impairing his vision somewhat and it's definitely bothering him if the amount of blinking he's doing is any indication.

2:25 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Jones Jr's eye; it has to be impairing his vision somewhat and it's definitely bothering him if the amount of blinking he's doing is any indication.

Re: MW SEASON Week 7 fights 19-24
Greb and Hagler battle to a draw. The fight was as great as I would've anticipated. Greb's really faced a murderer's row so far this season, and is doing well for himself. We're proud of our Champion.

Though he was The Number One draft pick.
Re: MW SEASON Week 7 fights 19-24
Nino Benvenuti is unbeaten through 7 fights too, and he was the last pick of the Jr. Middleweight round. Several fighters picked before him have lost their 0's already.Crease wrote:All true.gilgamesh wrote:Greb and Hagler battle to a draw. The fight was as great as I would've anticipated.

Then I got Tommy Ryan who should have a 5-2 record instead of a 4-3 record. Referee f*cked him against Hopkins. The other 2 fights were just close losses to great fighters, no shame in that.

Benvenuti has Ducked Hopkins....he forfeits any and all bragging rights.
Ducks are not glorious creatures....they are yellow, and feathery.
