Re: Event#18 Dariuz vs Bozo...Mina Vs Galindez...IBF Champ Tunney vs Bivens.....Lineal/IBO/WBO Champ Stribling vs Patter
Another close loss for Tunney (another SD). Tunney should be putting these guys aside, but obviously not in SIM world. Just too inconsistent. That said, Bivins just about deserved it. Congrats to him.
Stribling is a force to be reckoned with.....

Re: Event#18 Dariuz vs Bozo...Mina Vs Galindez...IBF Champ Tunney vs Bivens.....Lineal/IBO/WBO Champ Stribling vs Patter
Lady Luck has really been fickle this season.....building fighters up and tearing them down. Moore and Greb...and to a lesser extent Rosenbloom Spinks and Charles have shown some consistency.....Langford and Knight as well. But guys Like Foster, Bivins, Quawi, Hopkins and a few others can come out of nowhere and either pull a stunner or lay an egg. lol
Re: Event#18 Dariuz vs Bozo...Mina Vs Galindez...IBF Champ Tunney vs Bivens.....Lineal/IBO/WBO Champ Stribling vs Patter
I think, Bivins, despite that win, is eliminated, taking the IBF title with him, out of the MDT?
Tunney and Dariuz go through.
