It has been confirmed that the supposedly "South" Korean Judge.....Dong-Ahn Park.the sole dissenter in the Rosenbloom vs RJjr match...was in fact an infiltrator from North Korea, sanctioned by Kim Jung in an unsavory attempt to sew chaos and uncertainty within our peaceful Sim Community. I'm happy to report that upon his attempting to leave the Sacramento Street Arena, he was taken into custody, and will be shot by sunrise.

Damn Despots....can never be trusted! Thankfully the U.S. and England were there to bring stability to the situation.

The point deductions/knockdowns did Johnson in. Even with that said, I thought it was a really close fight. I was debating between Greb and Foster for my second pick. Picked wrong, for this season at least.

Maxie with a close one. Scores were all over the place, but I thought it was a close fight. Right man won though.

Figured a Fitz stoppage.

I do feel I lucked into Greb a little bit. He wasn't in my original list of 7 or so fighters I sent one of which was Foster. He has outperformed my expectations by far, but on the other hand Langford has performed well below my expectations. Still a lot of season left though.

I think more than anything, the software just likes to throw random curve balls, do you never know. Last season at 175, I remember Foster being a beast. I get him, not so much. It's not like I have even matched him up bad, for the most part. Another prime example to go along with our two guys is Tunney. He has to be right up there as a top fighter, and struggling just the same.

Remember Tiger Jack Fox who was managed by Sav - he was THE biggest curve ball there ever was. I remember him well because it was my first season having joined...

Greb's record at LHW is outstanding and if it wasn't for his blindness, probably would have been better. The only guy to beat Tunney, he beat 6 of the 10 guys who held the title between 1914 & 1934, going 16-1-1 against them if my google is correct. So i would suspect he is highly rated in the game, or should be but because he is most remembered at MW everyone sort of forgets about his record at LHW and HW.

A good win for Fitz. Perhaps he'll be in line for another title shot soon. If not there's a few names he has his eye on.

Maxie gets a good win over RJJ, who has been inconsistent. Deserved win.

Fitz just too strong for Dwight but credit for Qawi going up against a great puncher.

Greb......sure, he deserved to win, courtesy of the knockdowns but Johnson pushed him hard and even though the scores were unanimous and including the two knockdowns, it was a close tight decision. 2pts, 1pt and 2pts on the judges card. Greb is fighting well and taking scalps. Kudos.
