Aren't Super Six fights 12 round fights? No need to re-run the fight again if you made the error, just I think all the SS fights used to be 12 rounders. Loughran did well, just didn't have the power, but definitely showed up belongs with the best.

Johnson really took not making the SS hard, he basically just didn't show.

Right man won in Foster, but thought the one card was a little wide. Foster really turned his season around.

The Muhammad Gang is unconquerable for Johnson.

I have signed an executive order that only title fights are 12 rounders this year....lineals are 15.......all others are 10....had you checked in with local town bum..I mean town clerk and read the manifest and the polices and procedures you would have known. Though I did cleverly use dissapearing ink just in case anyone thought to nose around. Anything that varies from that would be due to my erroneous ways.

Hahaha WTF? 1st Round KO loss. Considering Johnson has been in with the very best, that is a shocking result, but hey, anything can happen.

Looks like the Muhammed Gang have his 'number'. A very good win for EMM, that 'wild overhand right' is not a toy.

Moore just a bit too much for Tommy, RJJ winning a tough match.

Foster a deserved, if slightly wide winner.
