Re: MW Season Week 37 fights 5-10 (MGM)
So just for the record. That is 3 times that Nino and B-Hop have fought, and the only one of the two to have scored a victory in their fights is Nino.
Hops. You've had your chances. You're just gonna have to accept you ain't good enough to beat Nino Benvenuti, but hey, you're able to fight him to a draw when he takes it easy on you...that's almost as good as winning.

Re: MW Season Week 37 fights 5-16 (MGM, Silver Six & Super Six)
Freddie, ready with the 1-2 checka, has really ended the season on a good note. Glad some managers opted out of the Silver Six because he's really had a chance to shine.
There needs to be a training option titled "Throw more punches". I swear Robinson lets himself get down in a hole just to see if he can pull off a comeback. A 5 point round in the 15th to win the fight, unreal!
Greb was close to losing a point....in another fight.........
