Why did Pea have 3 fights before coming into this bout despite this being the second week of the sim?

Ah yes, well if you search this forum, you will find that he fought Eric Esche..in exhibitions to prove the mettle of this season.

I did not "scrub" the software of these events, which in any future season I shall do. Also some HW's are credited for prior HW activity from the end of last season.

In the overall course of the 30 event season, I doubt this will adversely affect anyone's overall rating. However it does require an *asterisk and a disclaimer.

A win over esche is not much in terms of credit.....though he did manage it on one occasion without the help of discounting the Bean's weight advantage. I find that hilarious....and believable.

Apologies for any lasting affect on this season's proceedings.
