Norman Bates was a 6-1 Underdog in the Prelim.....big surprise there! He's a killer that one!
Congrats to two new champs!

Man, Foster is just not with it, this season. Nice win for Gibbons, though.
Close fight between Fitz and Tommy L. Close but fair result, Congratulations to the new IBF Champ.
Moore KO'ing 'The Boston Bonecrusher', sends a message. Sam can still come back and if he hits form, he can still turn the season around. The New IBO Champ is one dangerous fighter.
Norman Bates wins! Who will he fight next?

Congrats to Moore, the first IBO champ, Steve Shuffleshits is proud!
Foster either gives no effort or his chin betrays him in the second half of fights, badly. Still going to keep him around, for now, but no idea where to go with him.
Loughran with a nice win. Not sure on the one card for Fitz. No doubt it was a close fight, but an ugly affair with a low amount of punches landed. Fight played out like the way you would want a Loughran fight to.
"Psycho" Norman Bates with the upset!

Fitzsimmons always a great fighter even in defeat. We'll regroup, and get back to the Championship bouts soon enough.

I’m in the same boat with Gibbons. This was a nice win, but I just know he’ll go and lose a close one next week. So inconsistent!

Re: LHW#8 BADBAD LEROY BROWN Vs NORMAN BATES>>>Foster Vs Gibbons>>> IBF title Fitz Vs Loughran>>>IBO title Moore VS Lang
OR we could make things really interesting and just match them up every week!!!
