Great win for Marvin. He's a beast!!!

And we have negotiated a trilogy for him over the next 3 weeks against Carlos Monzon.

And we have negotiated a trilogy for him over the next 3 weeks against Carlos Monzon.

So the next 3 weeks is just Hagler vs Monzon?!?

[Crease]

So the next 3 weeks is just Hagler vs Monzon?!?

Yep. Next week will de a title defense, thereafter the victor will relinquish the WBC Championship.

Unless, allowances are made because we are nearing The Super Six. But that's up for debate.

Hagler wants THE BIG FIGHTS and a trilogy with Monzon is something that both men badly want.

Hacker wants THE BIG FIGHTS and a trilogy with Monzon is something that both men badly want.

If I knew you were going to drop the belt, I wouldn't even bothered to face Hagler. Or Robinson would have joined the drop belt party and fought Hopkins for bigger gold...

Tsk tsk tsk...robbing Tommy Ryan of his rightful shot over a guy that's gonna defend against his own stablemate. Tommy Ryan wouldn't have done that...no sirree Bob.

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise though as Tommy has now extended his winning streak by 1 more, and is right in line to call out Burley and Hopkins next week.

It just sounds like an attempt to hopefully get both Hagler and Monzon in the Super Six, at least to me. In reality, it will probably eliminate one, if not both his guys. To each their own though, we'll remember this in future defenses next season and will factor it in Super Six voting as well.

Luckily for me with Greb having won the MDT he's already guaranteed a spot in the Super 6, although if I don't get him back to his winning ways it ain't gonna do me much good.

I doubt Tommy Ryan would be able to bridge the gap needed to earn a spot in the Super 6, but he's been on a hell of a tear lately, and has some spectacular victories.

He could've been a reigning and defending World Champion come Week 35 if not for you and Buzz ducking him

If I knew you were going to drop the belt, I wouldn't even bothered to face Hagler. Or Robinson would have joined the drop belt party and fought Hopkins for bigger gold...

Surely reading the spectacle of a SRR vs Hagler bout is reason enough for agreeing to it.

Where is your sense of bold exploration that I have come to admire about you?

Besides, I fully predict the Marvin/Monzon FIGHTS to be highly competitive and fairly evenly matched... So three draws is not exactly impossible...

It's funny how fighters are ducking Ryan, yet faced higher ranked opponents in week 31. Ryan then proves his worth to go on and face Campos, barely winning? Ok guy!

[Crease]

a guy that's gonna defend against his own stablemate. Tommy Ryan wouldn't have done that...no sirree Bob.

Like it's never been done before...

And the teammate in question is a multiple time World Champion - so he's hardly an easy touch.

Agreed. But then why would you use logic, when you can use delusion?

Let's be honest - Monzon was the King of the Middleweights in the '70s. Hagler was the King of the Middleweights in the '80s...

So, with me being a sports enthusiast, why wouldn't I want to put them together for a gruelling trilogy?

Speaking as their Manager. I would be quite comfortable for the trilogy winner to qualify for The Super Six.

Barely winning my ass. It was a Unanimous Decision, and the judges were highly generous to Campas there. Tommy won at least 8 of the 10 rounds in my book.

The BrainTrust is the most powerful force in the Sim. That's not delusion pal, that's a goddamn fact of life!

I believe the Super 6 is set to kick off in Week 35. So unless one of 'em wants to keep messing around with each other just because there goes your Trilogy plan right there.

Ah yes. How right you are. A fight next week should be interesting & entertaining, so let's see how it goes.

That's why I'm the Brain. My assistant will be sending you a bill for that piece of useful advice.
