Moore only being able to get a draw was surprising.

Then the Sim one ups itself and goes full retard mode in the Hopkins/Braehmer fight...

Geto I honestly think the software goes into a "spin mode". Though I can't say for sure. When fighters start on a downhill streak they continue on. Like Spinach for Popeye....I wonder if a few tomato cans could re-energize there season? I don't know but it could explain the Collazo puzzle, as well as the Foster one. With Hopkins...it may be more explainable that LHW was not his strong suit to begin with.

[NazNaci1]

Wow, some surprises here with Moorer and Hopkins.

Maybe as Commish BB says, tomato cans might be the order of the day. Can't help feel this 'Prime Condition' tweak has added a bit 'chaos' to the Sim, this season, what with Tunney, Moorer (to a lesser extent), Foster and B-Hop.

[NoScoutingReports]

Braehmer unleashes hell and splatters a seriously dusted BHop, what a turn up for the books from the German.
