The fact that Williams had a point deducted and still won the fight is just awful

What a fight!

I'd take the rubber match next week?

Congrats again, DaveyMac. Pac didn't disgrace himself but wouldn't have deserved it had he nicked a result there. Think you've got a pretty sizeable lead on me in head-to-heads so far so I'm going to wait until it counts before I look for revenge again. Best of luck until then.

To Fist of Legend, is there any particular reason why my guys are so often under/overtrained? I guess I haven't paid enough attention to the other guys' conditions, but I'm pretty sure it is four or five times for me now which is surely way above average. Is it just bad luck? Something to do with my matchmaking? The fact that Lewis (at least) isn't really a lightweight? Something else?
