Commish's notes:

1. As penance for making a typo mistake last week in the scheduling which caused minor chaos with the fixtures, both of my guys will face Big George. I am not optimistic of victory (should you wish to know) but stranger things have happened...

2. The run-in was decided last week - and I don't imagine the rankings will have changed an awful lot. As predicted by the bookie's - three of the top 4 ranked guys have made in through to the final, with Mr Charles causing the lone upset as the 5th ranked guy.
1 vs 8 - Moore beat Michalczewski
2 vs 7 - Rosenbloom beat Stribling
3 vs 6 - Langford beat Tunney
4 vs 5 - Johnson lost to charlesvs Charles

So we've got this week:
1 vs 5 - Moore vs Charles
2 vs 3 - Rosenbloom vs Langford

Being a two time IBF champ, Loughran hopes for the opportunity to make it X3, if the EMM camp agrees?

I think Johnson should be allowed to defend his WBA title. His fight with Charles was billed as non title bout and over 10 rounds.

It was a close fight and over 12, who is to say Johnson would not have pulled out the W?

In history, Champs, lost non-title bouts and still retained the belts. I think the Commission should at least allow Johnson to defend it and lose it, if that is to be the case.

Ezzard finally gets his chance to settle the score with Moore after that whole debacle last time they met. He's very excited about this one.

Bob Fitzsimmons will issue a challenge to Roy Jones Jr, if Roy should refuse, he's open to other offers.

Not within the MDT...but if/when he is out....it's up for grabs again. PM me if this is confusing. I'll attempt to clarify.

Greb will throw his hat into the ring. He isn't having a great run of luck at the moment.

Fitzsimmons is honored to receive an IBF title shot against Eddie Mustafa, agaist whom Bob scored a controversial split dec. Eddie WANTS his revenge.

Qawi challenges Hopkins in the Jihad of the negative record fighters.

MR BOXBUZZ WILL DECIDE THE NEXT MOVE. (BoxBuzz here....Let me clarify.........champion retains his title....this was a non title event due to the MDT The winner of that bout is free to express bragging rights....but the Sanctioning bodies never SANCTIONED this fight though they authorized it to take place within the MDT in non title status.)

Thank you for the clarification, Mr Buzz.

Yes, Johnson has the belt and he will be defending it again this week.

Bolivia, Chile, Brazil or Peru,
It'll only take a round or two,
Jimmy's career will be through.

You have picked the wrong sports conglomerate to be at odds with. Battlers prevail! Scragglers take their dumps in a pail!

Michael Moorer wants a shot at HAROLD JOHNSON

Champs looked tied up this week, so:

Foster will look to even things out vs Julio Gonzalez

Loughran will take on Aki Puncher to see if he can finally get a stoppage.

Maybe next week one of my guys can get a title opportunity.

No problem.

You got it, Techno /SIGNED

'Mean' Gene Tunney wishes to erase all those that have lucked out with the judges so working back from the most recent (as Langford is not eligible), the first beatdown opportunity is given to Bivins.

Put Spinks and Gibbons in with a coupla CPU fighters please!
