Re: Event#29 Rosenbloom vs Braehmer....TunneyVsLangford....Moore vs Greb....UnifiedChamp Charles vs Loughran
Nothing for Loughran to be down about here. Competitive fight, like all tournament for him. He just doesn't have the power to win these fights if he gets down early on the cards. Hopefully he can finally get revenge on Tunney next week and even up his SS.
Braehmer might be headed to an IBO Title shot after that big win.
Moore keeps rolling along.
Greb and Langford have really struggled in the SS.

Yeah Greb had been such a force throughout the whole season, and it seems as if he hit the wall here at the end.armageto wrote: ↑03 Jul 2024, 01:23 Nothing for Loughran to be down about here.

The software was hacked, and allowed the judges to Rob Max of his fight vs Brahemer. Must be the deep state! They are always up to something!
Re: Event#29 Rosenbloom vs Braehmer....TunneyVsLangford....Moore vs Greb....UnifiedChamp Charles vs Loughran
Finally, Tunney picks up a W. Looking forward to Tunney - Loughran V.
Have to say, Geto, although Tunney leads the series 3-1, its always been tough, 50-50 fights. Should be fun.
Wasn't expecting Greb to beat either Moore or Charles, tbh but he has done so well against pretty much everyone else, bar a blip here and there. Moore, just too powerful.
Loughran again proving he is a rough tough competitor and had his moments. Charles, like Moore, just too strong.
Braehmer does it again! Not sure how many of us have got the better of him this season. I know Johnson got a W against him and there may have been another but he has certainly proven his worth.

Re: Event#29 Rosenbloom vs Braehmer....TunneyVsLangford....Moore vs Greb....UnifiedChamp Charles vs Loughran
Loughran has had some tough breaks vs Tunney. The cut stoppage early before the fight got going, getting stopped late in a fight he was winning, and losing a SD in a fight I thought he won. Two of those fights he lost belts on, if I'm correct. Hopefully he can get some form of revenge here in the last week.NazNaci1 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2024, 11:15 Finally, Tunney picks up a W.

As for Braehmer, Loughran fought him in a life or death battle that we were lucky to get the edge on. I supported him to be in the MDT, not sure how he didn't make it. A win vs Fitz, I believe two vs Charles, I think he has earned an IBO shot here in the final week.
Re: Event#29 Rosenbloom vs Braehmer....TunneyVsLangford....Moore vs Greb....UnifiedChamp Charles vs Loughran
Braehmer beat Tunney, too. A real surprise, this season.
For sure, Loughran didn't get the breaks vs Tunney. Hence why I believe it will be a tough, tough fight for my guy.
