Lot's of abberations here.....we got fighters who fight too often, some with emotional problems......you name it, is showed up in this set of fights.



Apparently....Some training camps just don't support their fighters. We will be dispatching O.S.H.A. to do surprise reviews of the gyms. This must be stopped.

[kevo]

Naseem Hamed with a WhopperTM of a punch to win the fight.

[BoxBuzz]

Kevo....for cryin' out loud......Give Ramos a night off now and then ....friggin' arsewhole.

[NoScoutingReports]

Big win for Saldivar against a top opponent in Nelson, brutal finish.

[armageto]

Hamed has had a surprising run for me. Driscoll as well, to a lesser extent.

Armstrong vs Ramos seemed like a brutal fight. A lot of back and forth action and no quit in Ramos.

Saldivar with a nice win.
