Good battle between JMM and Ramos

[DrDuke]

Marquez still can bring some surprises.

It seems like Pedroza has finally not lost. Didn't win either.

Nelson-Driscoll was an interesting affair.

[armageto]

Ramos and Pedroza not getting a win combined is pretty shocking to me.

AND THE NEW... 3 TIME CHAMPION OF THE WORLD....
OH WAIT....

[BoxBuzz]

Half Nelson brings in loaded gloves.

The "honor system" regarding glove checks has to go!
