sorry for the delay fellas, we've been having real crap weather here and the power kept going out which meant no internet

[gilgamesh]

The BrainTrust has it's 2nd World Champion of the season, and Nino proves to once again be a thorn in BoxBuzz's side with a 2nd victory over Floyd Mayweather!

Great week for the BrainTrust.

Even though Greb gave me personally a scare he gave the fans quite a thrill this week with his shootout with Joe Gatti. Thinks are looking up for the BrainTrust

[armageto]

I thought it was close, but Hopkins edged it with the knockdown. A few close rounds went Steele's way I guess. All three of my guys have held a major belt now, successful season.

[armageto]

All new big title holders too. This could certainly shake up the Super and Silver 6.

[BoxBuzz]

Not at all happy with some of the officiating........close fights good tussles, but bad judgments.

Nino wins.....Steele Wins.....Langford smashes GGG.


Bad week, first shut out.......but the winds of change are blowing..........though perhaps not as badly as those judges.

You can complain about judges in the Steele-Hopkins fight, but Nino has proven he's better than Floyd now twice. If anything I'd complain that Nino's decision wasn't Unanimous as it should've been.

[BoxBuzz]

Unanimous yes for Floyd.....
