Okay, so I’ve got to be honest here. I have never agreed with xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club’s “wrong winner” comments. I found them stupid, and made no sense. In this fight, however, I think it’s justified. Though she took a minute to get going, D’Alelio was dominating this fight. She had Murphy in the red, and was about 1 minute of GnP away from finishing up the fight when suddenly this flash KO came about. From the guard no less. I guess that is also another +1 to Phoenix’s theory that Murphy is the luckiest fighter in the universe. That was certainly the case here. Shocking, surprising, and just...wow.

[Deleted]

Murphy's a beast. She knows what she's doing the ring

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

I'm not surprised at all because you're a fucking corrupt piece of shit and wouldn't let D'Alelio have the upgrades she should have received for this fight. Go fuck yourself Sandman...

[Deleted]

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Fuck you too @kadri43... There's no way that cunt should be as good as she is and no way she should have won this fight... but that's what happens when Sandman "fixes" things... bullshit happens.

[The Sandmen]

@kadri43, what's your plan with Murphy? Are you letting her coast for a bit, are you upgrading her more? Are you working on Coenen or some other elite fighter?

[The West Coast Knockouts]

Murphy wins again !!? Seems like beating a capped D'Alelio is a every event occurrence now lol

[The Sandmen]

That's why I'm a fan of taking my time with fighters and developing them as they demonstrate consistent faults. But at least now with the whole "you can take out some points and assign new ones", capped fighters are not doomed as they once were.

[xx - The Broad Street Bullies]

I feel like D'Alelio should have won that fight.

[The Sandmen]

She should have...but she didn't.

Dude, STFU already... I did relatively the exact same thing you did with D'Alelio as you did with Hansen. I didn't just dump 53 points straight into her in one shot like popular opinion suggests. there were gaps, pauses and fights in between most of those upgrades. What I'm not a fan of is corrupt, arrogant, douche bag hypocrite assholes, like yourself, that are proven wrong and still do whatever the hell you want cuz of some personal issue cuz you'd rather be "right" than do the right thing.

[The Sandmen]

Difference is, Hansen wins, D'Alelio doesn't.

No, the difference is that you're a corrupt piece of shit, and I'm not. There's your difference right there.... you probably re-simmed this til Murphy won anyways... that wouldn't surprise me either after all the shit you've been pulling the last week or so.

[The Sandmen]

Sorry, can't hear you over my winning record. Your losing record makes you kind of muted. Speak up once you develop yourself some winners, kid.

Your fixed winning record with your fighters that you're constantly looking at for your upgrades but no one else in the league can. Yah, no wonder you have a winning record when you cheat.
