[p4p1]

Greb destroyed Langford.

[DrDuke]

Eddie Mustafa started the season like an A fighter of the Muhammad Gang, he even shared a piece of the champioship, but his prime was short lived, eventually Qawi finished the season better.

[armageto]

Nice way for Loughran to end the season. In probably their closest fight of the series, Loughran wins a UD, go figure. Competitive against the seasons two best fighters in losing efforts, and beat everybody else, or should have at least. A respectable tournament run for Loughran, redemption tour is complete!

Langford at least had a fantastic run as IBO champ.

RJJ waited until week 30 to show his true form.

Fitz with a nice win to end the season.

[NazNaci1]

Can't argue with either Fitz's or Loughran's wins. Both competitive but both deserved winners.

RJJ destroying EMM was a bit of a surprise, given how inconsistent they have both been. This match, probably, was in keeping with that.

Greb rolling over Langford in surprising fashion but Greb has been pretty outstanding, with only the top 2 (and Parlov) getting the better of him.
