I might have to retire Chocolate at this point because he is never going to get a fair deal on the cards.

Please, when everyone gets the chance, please read that fight. Does anybody honestly think Chocolate lost that fight? Two judges gave Hamed rounds 8/9 where he didn't even land a punch. Another gave him round 10 as well?!? At the VERY worst, this is a 96-94 for K.C. How does Hamed win two rounds, for two judges, where he doesn't even land a punch?!?

Cherry picking gone wrong for Kilbane.

The Killer still wasn't out cold, ahaha!

Good battle again between JMM and Morales, Erik deserved the win this time out. Who doesn't love a trilogy anyway?
