Let's review the details.....Fenech FLAT OUT FLATTENS McGiver and the ref lets it keep right on going.

But later when Fenech is taking a breather, and playing possum.....CREASE sends his ref over to do what his fighter can not do.


This was blatant brown nosing of a member of the Commish by the Ref.


GBP demands that Crease admit his meddling, and set the record straight.

AND hand the IBF belt right back to Fenech....it's rightful owner.

Better man won Buzz. Face it, accept it and learn to live with it... If you can.

Close fight with Jofre. Jofre probably just deserved it, but it was close. Well done to BoxBullyy's fighter

Just another title that gets taken away from Fenech....and handed to someone else by way of meddling officials.

Apparently FOL and you are running an affirmative action outfit.

It takes a village to stop Fenech. When left alone...he wins.

And that's a fact.

cool revenge is sweet, we'll take it
