Moment of the Match

Explosive knockouts, back and forth battles and a furious finish made this one for the ages. Needing to win just 1 round and remain upright to clinch the win for his team, Bob Dunlap ran into an Irish juggernaught. Kevin McBride has proven to be a valuable commodity in the anchor position for Bears Unstable and on this night he fought with unmatched fury. Roaring from his corner, McBride threw punches in quantities that would make Harry Greb proud, taking nary a step back the entire fight. Dunlap was a willing participant to this brand of mayhem and he landed more than his share in several violent exchanges. In the end though, the sheer determination of McBride was enough to take each round, setting up what will be frenetic finish to the WTB's first season in rounds 13 and 14.

Four teams will enter the final 2 rounds within a game of first place, we should be in for a great finish. Bears had 3 fighters hit prime this match, which could have a big impact in their last 2 matches. We also saw Buckeye benefit from salary modifiers in this match, getting $0.5 for winning last round and $1 (which benefits both teams) for John L Sullivan being a star fighter. It turned an ordinary $4/$2 gate split into $5.50/$2.75 for the home and visiting sides.
