[NazNaci1]

Moore with a good win over the ever dangerous DM.

Foster, easy blast out.

Gibbons winning in what has been an up and down season, mind you, the opponents have been tough.

Charles beating Mr Johnson in what was a close fight. Those knockdowns turned the W to a L. Fair play.

[kevo]

Gibbons is such an enigma.

[BoxBuzz]

Gibbons is such an enigma.

His style of fighting leaves a lot to be desired. Bivin's is reviewing the film of this to ascertain just how Tommy cheated and to what degree. Papers will be filed, an appeal is pending, and Bivin's camp is losing respect for Gibbons manager who very likely put this good man up to such tactics. And though Gibbons is a good fighter...he has been taken in by suspect handlers and his reputation is likely to diminish as a result of such going's ons.

We advise his team to come clean on these matters.
