Re: HW Season Week 3 fights 28-33
Jackson had a tougher time than I would have anticipated against Huck. I thought the fight was closer than two of the judges had it as well. I thought Jackson clearly won though. That damn saved by the bell comes back and gets another one of my fighters again!
Glad Gomez won, but I'm expecting more from him than what he has shown so far. Hats off to Tiozzo for a tough fight.
Big win from Foreman. Morrison took a brutal beating. Tunney/Charles was a good read.
