    Dude, I was on here this morning - groaned when I saw he was reinstated - and said just now when I logged on here again, "OMG! he got himself booted in a couple of hours?!" The dude just doesn't play well with others.

    I’ve updated the nominees and added the 11th round from Sean O’Grady-Hilmer Kenty, which I just watched (see pinned scoring thread). It’s a sizzler of a round.

    I’ll try to get it up tonight. That one’s going to take some time with all those nominees to get links and fast-forward times.

    @Jel I’m putting together round 5 and it seems Jofre and Medel fought twice. Can you provide some guidance? Quickly?

    EDIT: Never mind. Has to be the first fight. Hard to find rounds on that tape but eventually figured it out.

    Just rewatched Duran-Barkley. Kicking myself that I didn't give round 4 a vote. Missed the boat on that one. It wouldn't have beaten Foreman-Lyle but it was a corker.

    Jel, I seem to remember the knockdown round being pretty good. Was that something like the 9th or 10th? Of course, I think we're pretty heavy in those rounds right now, so it would have to be phenomenal. What are your thoughts on that round?

    Missed the boat on round 5, but the 5th of Barkley-Sims was a goddamn banger!

    Round 11 was the KD round. It was good but I thought rounds 4 and 7 were probably better. Will probably need to watch them again but in isolation to be sure which one was the best of those three.

    You’d have to thumb back a few pages in the scoring sticky thread but I scored that one sometime in the last couple of weeks or so. I want to say it was the eighth.

    Pat, Jel was right, it was the 11th. Looking at your card, I think why the 8th stuck in your head because that was the round where Barkley nailed Duran and actually spun him around. Y'know, even in losing, I never saw Barkley fight better.
