I know the game doesn't have a factor built into it where fighters perform better when they're fighting in front of a parochial crowd, but it seemed like that was the case for Braithwaite. He really turned it on for his fellow countrymen.
I think the first year or so in this uni is going to be tricky for all the forum guys as none of them are at prime yet and some are still at beginner. Wouldn't surprise me to see a number of similar results. Hopefully all of you can negotiate this period relatively unscathed, though. I also think that these surprising losses will help to make the eventual successes all the more satisfying.
As for Elmer, he really did steal defeat from the jaws of victory in that last fight. But as we've seen in both his IBL bouts, he has the talent. Maybe he's just not mature enough "upstairs" yet. He'll be mentioned in the July WBR notes and quotes.
