Re: CRW Season Week 22 fights 7-12
And Marco Huck is now official a 3x WTF Champion!
Man nothing comes easy for Huck. What a fight that was
Also I believe ya double posted Ward vs Nate Miller. The scores are exactly the same on both so I don't think you ran it twice or nothing, just one of those glitches where it double posted

Orlin will be glad to show Jirov his way back to the deck again this week, Just in case you're worried he might get lost or may have forgotten his way.
Orlin is fresh off of a convincing win over Michael Nunn that was erroneously ruled a draw by corrupt officials.
Re: CRW Season Week 22 fights 7-12
He's rated #31 overall and we already beat him this season, so not interested at the present time. Get him ranked in the top 20. Your managerial skills have really went to shyt the last few seasons. I actually think Norris dropped down a significant amount in the rankings, since you took him over.BoxBuzz wrote:armageto wrote:Jirov finds the deck......yet again.

Life is long, cream always rises now matter how determined the corrupters are in impeding it's process.
For example....two weeks, two ducks, two sets of excuses.
