01:51 * The ringside physician is making a thorough examination of the cut, after having cleared away some of the blood.

Event#16 Tunney Vs Bozo....Battling Maxo vs SRL.....the M&M's match up....WBA champ Joe Knight vs Victor Galindez
Re: Event#16 Tunney Vs Bozo....Battling Maxo vs SRL.....the M&M's match up....WBA champ Joe Knight vs Victor Galindez
Tunney has good win over Bozo, who was undefeated. I thought it could have been a little wider but hey ho, we get to keep the IBF title a little longer.
Maxie and SRL was a bit back and forth with the rounds, so the result was pretty fair.
Moorer - Mina was a bit fiery and a good read. Again, a draw and exchange of KD's about fair.
Knight adds another good win and keeps a hold of the WBA strap. Galindez is also a handful.

The Tunney fight counted as a title fight....my bad on that one but it's in the books as a 10 round win....so the points continue to rise.NazNaci1 wrote: ↑15 Apr 2024, 17:02 Tunney has good win over Bozo, who was undefeated.

The unmanaged fighters came out strong in this one!
Joe Knight is close, for me at least, being the first unmanaged fighter to ever make the H.O.F. Have to see how the rest of the season plays out.
Mins gets a big knockdown in the last round to escape with a draw.
SRL almost pulled off a win.
Good effort from Bozo, but not enough. Tunney should have been scheduled for 12, being a champ?
