[Tam Seddon]

What time is the main event? On a night out tonight, going to see loco dice in Leeds and I want to try and come back in time for the fight, hopefully it's a late one.

Come on Dawson, give him something to really complain about. I used to like Hopkins, but in recent years he has been handpicking smaller men and resorted to outright cheating. Pascal was the obvious exception to the smaller man thing, but even he put Hopkins down twice.

This will be the end of old B-Hop.

Honestly I'd settle on a commanding boarder skirmish, lets just get it done

Yeah fights!

[Mars_ax]

Here we go folks, the HBO WCB card, Lampley, Steward, and Kellerman calling the action.

First up 'Spoon Jr. vs Mitchell.

cheers

[Gandalf]

Haha, look at Mitchell getting all fucked up.

[Mars_ax]

Mitchell buzzed in the 1st round, but he managed to survive the round.

[Spicoli]

Wow. Mitchell looked more like a once Derrick Jefferson in that 1st...he was walloped He better find a clue quick!

[Mars_ax]

This is a pretty good HW fight, Mitchell still looks shaky but comes back well in the 2nd round to put some hurt on 'Spoon.

[Gandalf]

This is a cracking fight!

[Gandalf]

Good on Mitchell for turning that around. He looked done in the first.

[Spicoli]

Screw it...THIS is what the hvys need more of....these fellas are dropping bombs

Neuman with a great call!!! Thats how you improvise and call it clean

[Mars_ax]

'Spoon knocked down early in the 3rd, and then stopped. Mitchell looking pretty fuckin' good, and showing some heart coming back and getting the KO after being hurt in the 1st round.
