They're neve an easy fight for anyone, but Jirov & Dariusz seem to just keep falling short against the top guys. Frustrating position to be in!

Toney won't be looking forward to the rematch with Jirov. That was tight.

Hey Crease...since Calzaghe keeps being so friendly as to give you all the opportunities you want to get smacked around because you granted him a title shot in which he smacked around once.

What say you give Carl Froch a rematch in Week 21...Carl Froch gave Collins a title shot you may recall which Collins was able to take advantage of and win the title.

Well Froch wants a shot at revenge.

Froch vs Collins 2. Week 21...What say you Crease?

well Dariusz certainly didnt make it easy for Evander

I can't believe how bad the sim made Jirov's chin. I'm not looking for McCall level, but come on already. He's probably hit the deck around 20 times this season. Hats off to Toney for pulling that one out the fire.

Nice win for Calzaghe. Unlike the other fights, Collins was a no show here....

Jirov's chin rating is actually pretty high, he's been down 17 times this season but only stopped 3 times. I think the power level of some of the opponents he's faced is the reason he has hit the deck so many times as Jirov isn't the most defensively minded fighter out there.(guys like DM, Bell and Toney all pack KO power.)
