Happy for the win, but some really odd scoring this season. Herman/Chandler was probably an ugly fight to watch, but nowhere near close, as the MD suggests....

Yeah, it didn't seem to me like Chandler did too well in that one, but ah well I gotta tip my hat to you. That's another title bout under Chandler's belt, and another time we're not walking away with the title.

Back to the drawing board for Chandler.

As for Mr. Frilla, and his man Marquez. HOLY F*CK Was that a war or what!!!! Morales dug down deep and pulled it out over the last 4 or 5 rounds, and needed a few more knockdowns of Marquez to do it, but Marquez put up an amazing effort and made for one hellacious 1st title defense for my man Morales. We had to earn that one. I salute you Rafael. I think the Champions of this season haven't seen the last of you.

Escobar was not able to pull that sort of nonsense with the Undefeated Undisputed Jimmy Barry.

Great fight mate, what a war! Goodluck to Morales for the rest of the season, that shot that floored him was a big fucken punch, that shit wouldve droped a bull, but he got up and shook it off. Great fight.

Think that Terry could have fought on... But the three knockdown rule speaks for itself. Jofre took massive punishment in the first six rounds and absorbed it well.

ya I thought McGovern was going to win after seeing the first half but then Terry went and pissed it up DD
