I'm extremely proud of Toney's effort so far in this Tournament. He'd been giving less than stellar performances coming into the Tournament, but he's gotten himself prepared, and has been performing as well as he possibly can thus far in the Tournament. Better than ever in fact!

His win over Peter Jackson is his finest performance to date this season.

Both of my guys just didn't show up this week. Worst efforts all season from both.

Jirov can count himself unlucky there, hand injury costing him the victory in an excellent fight. Defo a rematch down the line.

Peter was listed as being in Top Condition this week. He's just not man enough for James Toney

Toney is thus far undefeated against your stable, and if you keep up that smart mouth he might have to smack around Jim Jeffries too

I thought he lost the first Gomez fight, though it was close. It's funny how you wanted to have a rematch before the MDT, but then suddenly were silent. Gomez has held a belt since week 7 I think. Jackson has held multiple belts. Toney has well, he hasn't done much of anything.

If you want to have another stable war after the MDT, just let me know. If not, just shut up already...

There's a few stable wars I'll be wanting to have at the conclusion of the MDT. You may well be one of 'em

If that hand injury he got with 30 seconds to go had forced Charles to stop fighting, I might have quit the game altogether there and then. Instead, now I've had 3/4 of my stable become world champions. Yay!

In the meantime. Ken Norton isn't going to advance to the next round of the MDT, and I don't believe J.C. Gomez will be advancing either right?

What do you say to Norton vs Gomez in Week 20?

Would Norton not be eligible for that title? It's still the IBO right?

It's the CW title. He already has fights lined up week 20, and assuming he wins, week 21.
