What a season turn around for Foster. I thought he won close and very surprised how long Cho was able to go on with his cut.
Maybe this win will turn things around for Charles.
RJJ has officially went off a cliff. His losing streak reminds me of Foster earlier in the season.

Charles advances in the MDT with that win, and gets himself back into the game. Interesting season for Charles.
Re: EVent#18 Moore vs RJjr......WBC Silver Champ JHL vs Ezz Chazz........WBC Interim Champ Foster vs Choyski
I think he just won back half of his championship....against the guy who committed the crime of beating him when overtrained? Am I right? That's an interesting happenstance.

No. That beef lies with Archie Moore.
John Henry Lewis has gone 1-1 with Fitz so he does have history with my stable, but I think this was the first encounter between him and Charles.
