[gilgamesh]

Nino worked just a little too hard in the gym, and didn't have that little bit extra that was needed to beat Duran. Ah well...at least it was a much better effort than last time he shared a ring with Duran.

Nino had a good season. We're proud of his achievements.

[armageto]

Nice effort from Duran in his final fight. He takes the season series against Nino. Close fight, but I thought the right guy won.

Up and down season for Duran, with extreme highs and lows.

[Fist of Legend]

damn, that Split Decison loss against Monzon in the super six really killed Mickey's season, he was on a multi fight Ko streak and then after that couldn't win a fight, even though he probably deserved the win in the 3rd fight with Greb.

btw, sorry for the slow week, I've had to cover for people at work so I've been pretty busy.

damn, that Split Decison loss against Monzon in the super six really killed Mickey's season, he was on a multi fight Ko streak and then after that couldn't win a fight, even though he probably deserved the win in the 3rd fight with Greb.

btw, sorry for the slow week, I've had to cover for people at work so I've been pretty busy.

Deserved the 3rd fight against the Million Dollar King? How dare you say it!

not just me

3:00 Walker seems to have done enough to win this fight. 10:6

Not for nothing, I thought Walker edged it....

Simply sour grapes from a couple of schmucks who ain't the managers of the Million Dollar King is what I'm reading here.

For shame gentleman.

Accept your losses and flukish successess with grace and humility. You know that greatness has walked among you and surely you were not it.

The universe is in danger of destabilization when a season such as this plays out for GBP....Could well be the end of days. The only logical explanation is that...somehow, someway......Marvel universe characters are using their super powers to thwart the natural way of things.

Surely the next season will be even better.
