Holyfield was a bit too eager to impress his lauded manager, and came in Overtrained. I'm still very proud of his effort. I'll give him some pointers and have him coming in at top form later on.

Lots of potential from my Heavyweights in spite of their losses, and obviously I'm proud of my winners "2 Tuff" Toney and "Brickhouse" Braekhus!

Decent opening week for the BrainTrust.

Onward and Upward.
