Fratricide!

The Scores varied widely in a strange way in the Holyfield vs Wamba bout.

Holyfield wins wide on 2 cards, but Wamba wins close on another?

Holyfield winning 9 rounds to 6 or so sounds about right to me, but whatever, at least the judges got the winner right. That's all you can really ask.

Actually you can ask for accuracy and accountability.....Wamba clearly took Holyfield to school. By the way.....Jirov was KO'd in about 2 seconds by Foreman, whilst Wamba actually beats Holyfield on one judges very accurate card. Another note....Wamba…...NEVER NEVER NEVER off his feet in his entire simulated career. Jirov? He has spent much time lounging on the deck and even caught napping. He has NO work ethic.

Hopefully after this tourney, Wamba and Jirov can return to their "discussion".

Looks to me like Older brother "took one" for the baby in the family....to bolster his self confidence.
