Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Drakulich is escorting Foster over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 8:0
01:09 * The blood is streaming down Foster's face, as the ring side Physician steps in to take a look. Drakulich has indicated the cut was a result of an accidental Head butt in round 2. After close examination the Doctor is stopping the fight! There are more than 4 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 8:0

Re: LHW week 24 ALL MDT & IBO TITLE
I just knew RJJ v Moorer would be a great scrap. Draw is fair, though couldn't have argued giving it to RJJ by a round.
Can't wait for the rematch.

Re: LHW week 24 #7 to #12 ALL MDT & IBO TITLE
It was an IBO title fight along with being part of the MDT. It was supposed to be scheduled for 15. I have no issue with that. Qawi started off really well in that fight, but it got pretty bad for him towards the end with Burns taking over the momentum pretty much all down the final stretch of the fight.DetroitHxC wrote:Buzz, you simmed most of the MDT fights at 12 rounds, but Qawi and Burns you had at 15.
Doesn't seem fair to Qawi to walk off with a loss like that, even though he's scum and deserves everything bad that comes his way.
A Tip of the Hat to Tommy Burns and Crease. You are a worthy IBO Champion.
