You owe us both an apology, as this is precisely the reason Big Ike gave in the post game interview for his DQ loss. Seems he felt the need to take out his umbrage on his opponent, who as far as I know, had nothing to do with the Ring Card Girl mix-up.

Speaking of Nichols, I'll be resurrecting my fighter of the week again this season, and Nichols, who fought over his head both matches to preserve stoppage wins for the Beavers, seems to be the likely first week winner.

The league better keep a close eye on George Nichols. He won both of his bouts by TKO-cuts stoppages in the 11th round. I'm wondering if he had any illegal objects hidden in his gloves...

Back up and running! Thanks again Scot.

Bear's Unstable 51.5
Boxing Kangaroos 49.5

(another close match)

Got it corrected. Thanks Dave. I see it is going to take me some getting use to on counting up the score.

Had to take a little break in the action. Needed to get some chores done around home in between rain showers. After I eat supper in about an hour or so, I'll be back on the job and will probably run matches till I go to bed. I forgot how much I enjoy doing this.

Cool.

Thanks for posting a notation for TKO's ending as a result of cuts. I think it will be interesting to see what fighters have bad track records with cutting and what fighters (like George Nichols) score the most cut stoppages in their favor.

Also, I've been working on a trade now for some time. I hope to complete it before the two teams involved go to battle. The reason it's taking some time is, I'm one of the owners involved.

consider it completed!

I am a big fan of Sam. Truth, justice and the American way!

Season Two of the Muppet Show is currently part of Kelly and I's after bath watching. It is even funnier if you have been drinking.

Kelly loves Animal ... I've always been humored by Gonzo's weird sexual deviation with chickens .... but the Swedish Chef is my fave.

[mh2365]

In all fairness I picked Boom Boom when I thought Sal wasn't going to be in the league ... I am not one to intentional take someone's favorite fighter away.

Gonzo is the greatest, and might become the Bink mascot!

The Fighting Knight, like most of the Binks, was chagrined by the vision of Miss Piggy, oops, Miss Vicky. But the Binks perked up when Amina escaped the locked dressing room door and we then staged a furious, albeit insufficient, comeback!

The Beavers done great, and we salute them. Lee is probably going woohoo at our 0-1 start, as we could threaten his record!

First day of the UTBA-II has come to a close. Four matches are in the books.

The standings, team rosters and schedule links have been updated.

[Tommysixfingers]

Ouch! I feel a bit let down by my lower divisions to be honest. At least Sanders did what he was supposed to.

Congratulations to the Ringers!
