Even though the damage isn't over either of Michalczewski's eyes, it's been deemed serious enough to have the ringside physician at least look at it. 6:2
1:01 * Referee Assimenios stops this fight. He guides Dariusz Michalczewski to the corner, motioning for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is examining the cut...

Marco Huck has been a respectable fighter for us this season, and a 3x WTF Champion, but he just can't get it done against the tougher opponents more often than not.

Froch on the other hand with a big win over Vassily Jirov who has been quite formidable this season comes a step closer to earning himself a spot in the Super 6 Tournament.

These "victories" by Froch.......

You're just gonna have to face it. Froch is too much man for your boys. He's 3-1 against your stable. His focus for the next few weeks is gonna be on getting big wins, and earning his way into the Super 6 Tournament.

Leonard beats Ottke in rematch after a draw in week 3!

2 out of the 3 wins were pretty shyt, just being honest. I hope he gets in the Super Six. He has my vote.....
