Re: Event#19 Rosenbloom vs Mina, Tunney vs Fitz.........Spinks vs Langford.....Lineal/WBO/IBOchamp Stribling vs Loughra
Fitz got robbed against Tunney. I definitely have no shame in that performance for my fighter, Fitz deserved that decision.
Boo I say! Boo to those judges.

Knockdown made the difference in a close fight. Can't complain on the decision, Loughran had a good run in the tournament.
I thought we were going 12 rounds from this stage on to avoid draws in Non-Title fights?
Langford and Tunney pulled out huge victories to advance.

Maxie - Mina...was a nice read and can't get much closer than that.
Tunney - Fitz also close, real close. Tunney got the nod on this occasion, which I will take as nearly all his losses have been either SD or MD's. We were owed a decision.
Langford beating a dangerous Spinks was also a good match.
Stribling beating Loughran was, to me anyways, a mild surprise. Stribling is one CPU to watch (and avoid, for now).

Re: Event#19 Rosenbloom vs Mina, Tunney vs Fitz.........Spinks vs Langford.....Lineal/WBO/IBOchamp Stribling vs Loughra
15 rounds for the lineal of course and 12 for other belts. .....and though 12 was a suggestion, the only suggestion I took to heart was to live with draws. I suggesedt an odd number of rounds...like 3 or 15.....you suggested 12......and I just left it as is. It started wtih 10 and accepting draws...and it ends that way as well. Next season...a bit more discussion on this is warranted.armageto wrote: ↑23 Apr 2024, 14:09 Knockdown made the difference in a close fight.

Mauro Mina is a real strong operator, not an easy night's work.
