Time Commentary Points

0:05 Sam Colonna felt Greb lost that last round and he let him know in no uncertain terms during the break. 0:0

02:00 More bad news for Greb as the gaping wound on the bridge of his nose is once again bleeding profusely. 2:4
02:00 * What was once just a trickle of blood is much more noticeable now as Greb's face looks like it lost a fight with a razor blade. It's a good thing that the bleeding isn't over an eye or this fight would be in jeopardy. And it still may be, as Referee Weeks has now halted the contest and is leading Greb toward the ring doctor's position to get a second opinion on the severity of the bleeding. 2:4
02:05 * The Referee has halted this fight. He leads Greb to the corner and motions for the ring physician. The ring doctor is examining it... Greb's corner pleads its case.* That's it! Referee Weeks is waving it off. This fight is over! Knight wins by TKO due to the severity of Greb's injuries! 2:4
Fight Result
We go to the ring where Amy Hayes is ready with the call...

Re: Event#15 Loughran Vs Telesco....Foster vs Gonzalez III....IBFchamp Tunney vs EMM....WBAchamp Greb Vs Knight
Loughran stated active with a tough unmanaged opponent. Nice little stay busy win.
Foster finally finds vengeance! Still need another win to even the series. Gonzalez punch % was 100 during that fight, am I reading that right...
Tunney with an easy win. Maybe he's shifted the season for himself.
Joe Knight gets a win and major belt, albeit on a cut. I feel your pain Greb, Loughran lost his title last week in the same fashion, just a round earlier. With that being said, Knight is having a Hell of a season.

I thought EMM had signed to fight Spinks for the WBO championship?
fornicate me Greb. Not great prep for the MDT. Fight stopped by a cut on the nose? I smell something fishy from the WBA here. Greb swears black and blue it was from a headbutt. Allen Bond was at the fight and swears it was a butt.

Loughran with a solid win. Thought he should have swept all the cards but fairly comfortable.
Foster with a good KO and still might see a fourth match up but at least he has found his punching power and a bit of form. I was toying between him, Johnson and Greb as my 2nd pick. A dangerous opponent and unpredictable.
Gene with a solid win and hope he can actually win a few before anymore slip ups, but in SIM, its not that easy, as we have seen.
Knight has to be the Star of the Sim so far with some great performances. Ok, an early cut eye ending is never satisfactory but its a win. Unlucky for Greb, as he was streaking and beating down all before him. I'm sure he will win another title soon enough.

We will be requesting the WBA launches an inquest into and why the fight was stopped for a cut that was not bleeding in the eyes after we watched Tszyu go all night with blood pouring into his eyes. We expect that the WBA does not like one of the Bond-Packer poster boys being the WBA champion with our ties to the WBO. We will go to the high court if we have to, to get this match turned over to a NC and Greb rightly reinstated as the WBA champion if we have to. Our lawyers are currently swarming over the footage to see, if like the honorable Mr Bond is claiming he saw, the cut was indeed caused by a intentional headbutt.NazNaci1 wrote: ↑10 Apr 2024, 17:01 Loughran with a solid win.

I was also there, and can confirm it was a butt. The corrupt WBA up to their old tricks.p4p1 wrote: ↑10 Apr 2024, 01:54 I thought EMM had signed to fight Spinks for the WBO championship?
