In what would have been the final, (but an error was found after this fight was completed) Brian London took on John Holman in the finals, as both finalists had in fact been eliminated, Jeremy Williams by James Beattie and Fabio Moli by London. Completing the chain of errors, the bout was scheduled for 10 rounds, not 12. Would London be happy or angry once the error was announced?

Brian London 5-1 2) vs. John Holman (5-3 3) – London landed a series of 8 uppercuts in the 1st, while Holman relied on an awesome hook and, at round’s end, a solid combination. He took the round in terms of points, 10-8.

Holman, cheered on by his Muckboys, surprised everyone by putting on a boxing clinic in the 2d, landing 53 punches, 13 of them being hooks and another 11 crosses. The points went 21-4, and London had a nice mouse under his left eye. His pride hurt, as well as his body, London sparkled in the 3rd, connecting 40 times, with 12 crosses his major weapon, in coming back, 16-5!

They traded punches in the 4th, London landing a big uppercut, Holman answering with a straight right! London’s swelling was worse, and he came out on the short end of this pick-em round, 10-9! Holman landed a super cranium-crunching cross in the 5th, and a sweet hook. London’ whose eye was worse, rallied, but once again was on the short end of a close round, 10-9. Who knows how the judges would score these rounds?

London savaged Holman in the 6th, connecting 47 times, with jabs, hooks and uppercuts his main weapons! The score was 22-5, as he dominated, stunning Holman to boot with two sonic hooks!

In the 7th, God and these two rested, and the resultant score was 4-2, Holman, in a round where his major weapon was the mighty clinch! Ugly didn’t accurately describe the “action.”

Going all out for a knockout, London smashed a hook home to start the 8th, later following with a plethora of punches, among them a sonic hook and savage combination, that had Holman covering up, 21-2! The fight at this point was extremely close, as three rounds were virtually even.

The 9th saw these gladiators going toe to toe! London landed a laser left, Holman came back with a super cross! London’s eye was getting worse as he landed 13 uppercuts, Holman doing damage with 12 hooks! A sweet straight right at the end won it for Holman, 17-12!

Holman landed first in the 10th, a powerful combination that made London grunt! Pressing on, he was willing to take punches to land some, and a jolting hook found its target! Finally, as the round was ending, Holman landed a thunderous hook that was almost obscene, and London fell like a big tree. He was still down when the bell sounded at the count of 7, saved by the bell! I had this round 20-5, Holman.

On the strength of a great last 2 rounds, and the knockdown, I had Holman the winner, 97-95! London had outlanded him, 247-207, but that knockdown was huge! The judges scored the bout 98-93, 96-95 & 96-94, for, the winner by a unanimous decision…John Holman!

The Muckboys went crazy, and London was dejected, but his mood changed to elation when he learned that Holman was the wrong opponent, and that he’d face the winner of the Beattie Paychek contest, this time in a 12 round contest! Holman also benefited, as he had a sweet comeback, one that'll keep him high up once rankings are announced!

So the suspense builds because of my scheduling errors

, and Beattie and London each get another chance!
