Man, that was a disapointment. Simms was off, no doubt about it. Alcine didn't look all that good either, but he did outwork Simms late in the fight, still I didn't think he did enuff to take Simm's belt. That knockdown was crap, technically I guess it may have been legit, but it didn't hurt Simms a bit. Weird, boring, bad fight. Tough break for Simms, he could bounce back from this, just needs another chance against a big name opponent.
Honestly it will be tough to do at his age....Quote:

That's too bad, I really liked Simms style, big time let down.....
I think he just blew his last opportunity.
yep not seeing rematch anymore...Alcine wants to fight sometime in November if possible and theirs also suggestion of Spinks in picture
How disappointing for Simms. The commentators had Simms ahead, just, so the final scores were a bit of a surprise to them. I had it close too, only 3 points either way, but the 3rd judges card had Alcine miles ahead. Sorry I can't remember who or how much, hang on i'll see if boxrec has it...................................."Judge: Glenn Feldman 110-115 | Judge: Tom Kaczmarek 109-116 | Judge: George DeGabriel 111-114 ~" Ok so it was the second judge here but i think they read it out last at the fight. I actually found the fight quite interesting to watch. It was a little awkward at times due to the southpaw thing but it was a good technical fight IMO. Did you see Alcine Stepping on Simms right foot? He was warned once but kept trying it like N'Dou v Malignaggi, but it obviously worked for Alcine better. What's Simms to do now at 36 years of age? I presume there is a rematch clause?Quote:

Simms is probably going to end up headlining a FNF card against Verno Phillips or Richard Guittarrez or someone like that. Which isn't a bad thing, I'd love to see him fight either, but he'd better win or he's done.
So disappointed with Simms' performance. At his age there aren't many opportunities available! He needs to take any big name fight offered to him & win if he wants to salvage what's left of his career!
He looked so good against Rivera, now he looks like he took fight advice from John Ruiz.
Travis talked too much way too soon, "tremendous" bad timing to claim P 4 P status, that's what I think about it! :-\
i was at this fight simms definatly disapointed me he didnt fight his fight he should have attacked alcine but instead he kept holding him it was sad to see because simms was the better fighter he just got out of his rythm and alcine took advantage of that.
Not much.
All i kept thinking was man this is such a huge difference between the simms we saw against rivera and the one we are seeing now...i kept waiting thinking something big was gonna happen but nope....someone hit it on the head he'll comeback on espn but from there at his age who knows.
Simms held cause he couldn't handle the speed of Alcine's punches. If he didn't hold Alcine might have hit him enough with combo's to knock him out. He held cause he wasn't the better fighter and knew it. That's also why he tried to come out with poor ass excuse that his hand hurt during fight. What's also funny Alcine actually fought while sick. He had lost 10 pounds due to a virus a week or so before fight and still outclassed Simms.Quote:
