What a battle there with Pep and Arguello.
I'm gonna have to take it easy on Pep for the next 3 weeks to keep him fresh for the Million Dollar Tournament.

Some great reads here.
Thanks to Chacon's management for stepping up to the plate for the fight. Great read and effort from both men.
Pep vs Arguello was another great read. Talk about a 12th round to win a fight!
Manfredy in his first fight in the sim pulls in a belt. Granted it was a cheap win, but still a shock.

Arguello took the challenge like a man and won like a true warrior. Credit to Pep for the challenge and giving a fight.

How the hell did Manfredy afford Dundee in his corner? Who funded that?
