Title Bout Championship Boxing 2.5 - Copyright © 2008 OOTP Developments

To be honest, the DQ was the ONLY way Duran was going to get the W. I would suggest a rematch but given how this fight panned out, I doubt they are interested.

Pfft....'Mashed Peas'.....someone was getting mashed alright and it wasn't any Peas

Your looking at your guy through specially tinted glasses. Duran assumed brilliant tactics with the Pea expectant that Duran would come out banging, he instead went on the back foot and encouraged, and allowed, Pea brain to waste his lesser energy. When the tiring, frustrated peapea had nothing left to give he had to resort to underhand measures to try and get at the great unscathed champion. A brave, but ultimately unwise performance from Pernel, but again the ultimate accolades have to go to THE GREAT ROBERTO!!!!!!

Dear Boxbuzz, we appear to have missed out on Sanchez vs Gomez in the final of Prizefighter. Thanks to you and Crease for a great season

Championships will be scheduled for perhaps this evening.

I'll take a DRAW with the great Marciano
