Re: LHW-11...WBC OTMoorevsCharles....OTJohnson vs OTQawi.....OTGibbons vs Letterlough..OTTunney vs Brown
Tremendous effort by Archie Moore to dig down deep, and come out with the win even when Overtrained.
Nothing for Ezzard to do now, but go back to the drawing board, and build back up to the top.

The Muhammad Gang has provided a thunderous terror upon the landscape. Has it just appeared and here Qawi unleashes his might on the reigning champion. The dark horse of the season has taken over!
Re: LHW-11...WBC OTMoorevsCharles....OTJohnson vs OTQawi.....OTGibbons vs Letterlough..OTTunney vs Brown
Qawi with a big upset, hats off. How long can he hold the strap for now, is the question?
No question who is the better fighter at this stage, at least to me, after the Moore/Charles trilogy.
Tunney gets himself a small belt.

Moore did amazingly well to beat a 'Prime' Charles. Wasn't expecting that but fair play.
Sadly, Johnson's reign comes to an end but Qawi springs a 'mild' upset and deserved the win in a close fight. He has come on a bit after a slow start in the season. Congratulations.
Gibbo wins comfortably, as expected and Tunney picks a up a minor title and overcomes the 'over trained' week, where I was fearing the worst.
