Re: MW Season Week 9 fights 19-24
I thought the Hagler fight might be a little too much for Steele and he might be taken out late. He was doing pretty good until that final round, so can't complain on his effort. Time to defend the IBO belt again.....

Re: MW Season Week 9 fights 19-24
Heck, training for tactical skill really paid off for Norris - he kicked Ketchel's arse.
Not happy with the way Ketch is performing over all this season - started so well against Greb and Robinson, but I'm going to have to rebuild him at this point.
