[armageto]

Whoever the Hell Darkie Smith is, he brought out the nest in Foster as a trainer. Maybe Foster took his managers 1742 Georgia house slave name as an insult on RJJ.

I figured Charles would win, but alas the early cut rears it's ugly head again.

JHL might be hitting his stride here, solid win for him.

Moore won as expected.

[NazNaci1]

Cuts again....

Foster with a great win over RJJ - Darkie Smith is an English former fighter and trainer (and father of ex-pro Stephen Smith). Got banned though, but he really got Foster pounding.

JHL is picking some great wins and this one, over Tarver, is no different. Tarver is one of the tougher CPU opponents. Nice.

Moore did what he should have done but was always reading and waiting to see if Choynski would explode with his power but not to be...

Foster with a great win over RJJ - Darkie Smith is an English former fighter and trainer (and father of ex-pro Stephen Smith). Got banned though, but he really got Foster pounding.

Thanks for the info...

Darkie the true MVP!

I agree on the cuts and brought that up last week. We went from basically none to one per two fight cards ran per week it seemed. I don't know if it's just balancing itself out or the fighters have razors in their gloves now.

[BoxBuzz]

The BRS is just getting edgier......it seems.
