Tomato City vs. Muckboys - round 1
September 4,2006: American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL
Bad blood has already surfaced between these two teams before the start of the season. Both teams have been claiming that they will win the West division. We'll let the action in the square circle decide that. The Muckboys got the better of the first meeting between these two winning pretty much by the KO. Over 50% of the bouts ended in a stoppage tonight. Only two victories separated these two but the Muckboys doubled the Tomato City's KO count. Both teams will meet again in the season final in round 10.
Congrats go out to the Muckboys, as they recorded the first DQ loss of the season.
HW Ron Lyle (rookie) of Tomato City was added to provide Tomato city with some wins at that weight class. Lyle ended up getting knocked out in both of his matches. Maybe it was just nerves.
Big upset!
Tomato City's Terry McGovern 16-2-0 (14) lost a TKO6 to the Muckboy's Troy Dorsey 4-10-2 (1) on a bad cut on the bridge of the nose. I thought that it was a bad decision on the part of the hometown referee to stop it on a cut on the nose but I guess that is why you pay the refs off before the fight.
How much did that cost you Romy?
Scoreboard:
Tomato City 15-17-0 (6) = 36
