Too bad Bivins came in overtrained he could be IBO champ right now, definitely worthy of a rematch.

Dramatic come from behind victory for Holman Williams, he was down big on all 3 scorecards, but he iced Hearns in the 15th to take the title! Awesome stuff

armageto · Post by **armageto** » 23 Jan 2017, 13:06

Holman Williams with an awesome comeback! I thought he was done after the round he went down twice in. Great fight!

I thought Robinson clearly won. It was a blowout or anything, but I don't see how it was that close to be a SD, almost a loss. Thanks for Monzon for the title shot and I'm sure they'll meet again down the road.

Steele defends his IBO title yet again. Terrible start for him ,but he picked it up. Bivens finished strong and the fight could have went either way.

Duran made a solid effort. I could see it going either way, a draw looked deserved. Hagler pulls out the UD though. I don't mind the loss, but at least a SD.

Was a great read of fights overall....

That's gotta be my favourite moment from the two and a half seasons I've been on this sim so far.

Holman "Rocky" Williams, thank you.

And cheers to whoever suggested the addition of a third fighter to managers' stables.

(Not as happy with how many crosses HW was absorbing, mind. Where was his defence?)
