1:33 A gash on the forehead of Charles is readily apparent. Forehead cuts bleed a lot and this one appears to be in a bad place and could affect Charles's vision. 7:5
1:33 * Charles seems to be having some difficulty seeing. It's not that he's bleeding all that badly but the location of the cut - over the eye - makes it a bit more serious. And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Ezzard Charles's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 7:5
1:33 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor. And it looks like, in this case, we're going to see some more boxing because the physician has given his okay to let the fight continue.

See Crease goddamnit. If you had given Greb his shot at the MGM Grand title like he DESERVED he would've been able to polish himself up a little better and win the fight with Williams instead of fighting him to a draw.


Greb vs Dempsey NP next week! You deserve punishment for your crime against me!

[armageto]

Talk about pulling one out the fire. It took Robinson a while to get motivated, but he got the KO he needed. Hats off to Charles for a tough fight.

[Fist of Legend]

a bit of controversy in the Robinson-Charles match? It seems the ref could have given Charles a 10 count as he was on his way down but stopped the fight outright instead by wrapping his arms around him as he fell, especially considering Ezzard was giving Sugar Ray the beating of his life up until the stoppage. I'd like to see a rematch between these two in the near future.

[gilgamesh]

Holman Williams congratulations on defending your title with the draw against Greb...what do you say to a fight with Nino Benvenuti in Week 12?

Big Fight. Nino puts his 0 on the line, Williams puts the belt on the line. There's a lot at stake in this one, and with Nino trying to avenge the loss of his stablemate it's got that extra bit of personal animosity that could put it right over the top and really make it a superfight for the fans.

What do you think?

Sounds good, Nino is the #1 contender officially so Holman happy to give him a shot - consider it signed.

Greb is a hard fight for anyone but I knew a stylist like Holman would have more than his hands full so I'm happy we got through that. Pretty good week all round for me. Ketch gave me a scare but came through it - maybe he is ready to mix with the big boys again next time.

As long as we're making fights together, and Ketch is wanting to mix with the big boys again. How about Ketch rematches Greb in Week 12? I had about 4 fights in mind this week for Greb, and that was one of them. Since you accepted the fight with Nino and Holman I'll give you the first chance to say yay or nay.

If Robinson can hold onto the belt and Charles works his way back into title contention, I'd gladly give him a rematch. Even if Robinson was to lose his belt, he'll gladly mix it up with Charles again...

I'm gonna pass on that for now. Without anything of the line wk 12 feels too early to me to be doing rematches. Especially such a high-risk one to be honest. Thinking of going the minor title route (or at that level) with Ketch for now.

Ketchel-Greb II can and hopefully will happen in time, Stan just has to string a bunch of better than decent performances together first.

Hey it's cool. Like I said I was just giving you the first chance to say no since you agreed to the Holman vs Nino fight, but I have other options for Greb. Best of luck in whatever you pursue with Ketch.

I'm so angry with Hopkins for losing to Nino, I'm going to dispatch him to fight Greb. Now don't get scared and run for 10 weeks, Hopkins is very angry with those two blind judges you paid off, and it just might set him far enough off his game that he won't KO Greb.

Hopkins was one of the fights I had in mind for Greb so consider it done.
