Herman with another solid win. I figured if McGovern couldn't get him out of there early, Herman would take over late. Rounds 8-13, McGovern took a beating. Even taking the last two rounds off because of the score card lead, we only won by a point on two cards? Won't complain, solid win and good fight, but the scoring seemed wider than one point.

Panama Al nails his first title. Actually, it's our first SIM world title full stop.

Chuffed.

That's MY title you got Al. You can try to avenge your stablemate Larios next week by giving Morales a shot at the IBF.

Fenech and Barry own all the titles.....they are simply lending them to others on a temporary basis.

This is the sort of philanthropic nature that GBP has often shown toward the masses.

Fenech and Barry are both pussies, and have ducked ass whoopings on a weekly basis. The fact that you won't put them in any tough fights shows me that even YOU know they're not Championship level fighters.

I know I'm certainly not losing any sleep over Jimmy "Uninterested in Challenges" Barry or Fenech either one.

So you're 85% sure that Morales would ruin Al huh? Well it is your right as Champion to pick and choose your challengers...until Mandatory week anyhow.

I think it's possible Panama Al is all wrong for Morales gilgamesh. But then again maybe he is so so right

Nice one Andrews

He can come for his dignity too. Al will have stripped it from him by then.
