Cmon...first we bitch slap Ezz and get a draw, now we do the same thing to Bivins....and get a loss?

One judge actually had it right.

Gibbons however is satisfied with the outcome, and gracefully yields the championship to Mr Bivins and FOL. But we imagine they can't really believe their good fortune. The judges should have their software examined.

Though the thought of that is a bit ugly.

Congratulations to Jimmy Bivins on ending the amazing run of Tommy Gibbons. We certainly haven't seen the last of Gibbons.
