Tough way to lose a title, the Duran way. Though Greb was down, still anyones fight. Still, hats off to Moore.

2 of Greb's losses are by DQ. It's the only way a lot of these pissants can even hope to beat such a man.

He wouldn't have been by the nights end. Up by 3 points that is

Well, congrats to Moore anyhow. Not the way he probably wanted the belt, but it's a W.

What happened to Greb facing Hearns week 25 and Robinson in 26?

Corrupt officiating is what happened. Greb's still gonna handle his business with Hearns, he's gonna get revenge on Moore as well. Robinson is getting further back on the backburner.

Greb is coming back for his titles in Week 26, or 27 or 28 or however long it takes until somebody gives him a shot. Wouldn't surprise me if he's avoided for a time because people know he's the man. He'll just keep kicking ass in the meantime.
