Re: MW Season Week 34 fights 13-18 (MGM/Light-Middle)
Greb in full effect this week gets a big KO, and has the momentum in his corner entering the Super 6.
Nino still did an excellent job in spite of coming in "Under Trained".
He deserves a rematch.

He deserves a rematch.
Re: MW Season Week 34 fights 13-18 (MGM/Light-Middle)
You are quite the shameful manager Crease. Nino didn't HAVE to defend against Jackson. He could've easily chosen an easier opponent, but he felt Jackson most deserving. Nino didn't HAVE to rematch Floyd Mayweather and beat him twice, but he did...because that's what Champions do.
You can keep the title. You'll never be the Light Middleweight Champion Nino was.
Nino will be just fine without ya, and he'll probably take the title from whoever takes it from your guys sorry ass
