0:53 Now the bleeding from the cut outside Klitschko's left eye has begun to flow again. 0:2
0:53 Bleeding is part of the fight game and you hate to see it determine the outcome, but when a cut occurs this early in the fight it often plays a part in the decision. Let's face it, judges can be influenced by the sight of blood. 0:2
0:53 * The referee appears to be jockeying for position; he's moving more than the fighters. Apparently, he wants to get a better look at the cut above Klitschko's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Curtin is escorting Klitschko over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 0:2
0:53 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor.

1:37 It's early in the fight and Klitschko knows his cut could develop in a real problem in subsequent rounds. 0:4
1:37 * The fighters move away from each other, creating a bit of distance between them. Now the referee has called timeout, halting the action. He's leading Klitschko to the ringside physician. The cut over Klitschko's eye seems to be the primary cause for concern. 0:4
1:37 * The doctor is peering at the wound and he's shrugged his shoulders and he's shaking his head - is that a good thing or bad? Well, it's good from Klitschko's perspective and the cheer that arises from the crowd tells us all we need to know: there's going to be more fisticuffs in just a moment. Obviously, the damage isn't that bad and Klitschko and Jackson await the signal from the referee to commence firing. The fight resumes here in Round 3. 0:4

Once again I feel the need to point out that this Durakovic character is f*cking up the usual order of things for The Sim.

By having him fight every week, being the CPU Champion, and being apparently an unbeatable force he's going to eventually be ranked as the #1 fighter in all of the Sim. Which will water down The Sim for the actual managers and competitors, and make everything we can ever achieve less prestigious because nobody will be able to beat Durakovic.

I don't know how this isn't obvious to everybody, but I recommend that Durakovic be rendered inactive except for special challenges because if not it's gonna gum up the works.

He's only 1 win away from the Top 15.

"He beat me that's all...."

[BoxBuzz]

Vonda Ward layed down this week to sandbag the Doofus....hopefully that fight can be made........Ward wants Durokovik......over and over and over again.

[BoxBuzz]

I believe it's a miracle that Ali won that fight. That's all I got to say.

I'm mostly on board. I don't mind a good CPU challenge, but the guy doesn't miss a punch.

Ways to solve this situation to me are, with the first two with him continuing as is:
1. Expand title defenses to top 16.
2. He shouldn't be recognized as a #1 ranked fighter, regardless if he's ranked there.
3. Have him fight less frequently, to avoid being highly ranked.
4. Just have him stop fighting all together.

I really also vote we pull the other version out of the HOF. Both are frauds.

This wasn't the way I wanted Jackson to win a major title. He's better than what he showed tonight.

We thank Vitali's team for the chance to fight for the WBO.

Still, a win is a win and we can't complain with the major belt addition to the stable.

3 or 4 are the only solutions.

If he becomes #1 and remains there the rest of the season I won't be back for future seasons because that's bullsh*t, and a slap in the face to all of us that actually put effort into making our stables great.

There are BIG plans for this season so I'll stick it out no matter what. I won't spoil anything, but I think I can safely guarantee that the most memorable thing in Sim History will happen before this season has ended.

We've already had the glorious return of DetroitHxC. Can things get even better?

Hide and Watch....You're damn right they can!

[Dottier Charredo]

Yes, they definitely will get better.

As for the Jackson-Klitschko fight, disgusting stoppage. The whole system should be torn down!
