Qawi scores an easy KO victory over Iran Barkley and Maxim gets jobbed with a bogus draw against Paul Berlenbach. My guy landed 48% of his shots to Berlenbach's 14% and they call it a draw? Absolutely ludicrous.

Also At Billy Fox getting his ass whipped by Omar Sheika.

Add the great Clinton Woods to the list. Dariusz marches on.
