Those two fights that Elmer has lost have just been ridiculous, especially this last one. He went into the final round leading by at least two points on all three cards and managed to lose it. He could so easily still be undefeated but somehow he's managed to win just one of his four IBL bouts.
Elwood's fall has been just as frustrating but in a way what has happened to him is somewhat realistic. He came into the tournament carrying a lot of expectations because of the way he started his career. The loss to Braithwaite showed that he still had some learning to do and the last two indicate that his confidence has been shattered. His condition for his last fight was "Badly Overweight", which is why I worked in the angle that he hadn't trained well for it.
It's extra frustrating because the two of them are in a division that is one of the least talented and they aren't taking advantage of that. Hopefully their stories take a positive turn in '07.
I have a couple of possibilities that I'm considering for Mr. Toney but haven't made my mind up yet. I should have it decided before '07 rolls around.
