[gilgamesh]

Tommy Ryan's best win of the season! He's a contender now, and is finally fighting up to the full potential I always knew he had!

Duran and Nino fight to a draw. Duran wanted it too much and Nino didn't want it enough. Maybe they can settle it with a 3rd fight at some point down the line...for now though Nino will seek different opposition, and tip his hat to the tough Duran for making a successful title defense.

[armageto]

I thought it was close, but Duran pulled it out. He just can't seem to get the big win. Even in this one he came in over-trained. At least Nino came in under, which I guess evened things out. I thought the rounds were pretty clear cut, with only two close ones. Duran and a toss up, but I gave it to Nino. I guess two of the judges gave both to Nino.

Knockdowns were the difference in Steele/Ryan. Steele forgot his chin at home for this one I guess. Almost came back at the end, but 3 knockdowns was too much to overcome.

Robinson seems to half a@s a lot of fights this season, then his talent pulls it out. I wish he could just give a full effort every fight. Good fight with Fitz and it would have been interesting if it continued.
