Through a frenzy of wheeling and dealing the Undisputed Champions feel they made some nice improvements in the off-season.
KEY LOSSES:Sugar Ramos,Darius Michalzewski,Billy Petrolle&Oba Carr
KEY ADDITIONS:Ike Ibeabuchi,Freddie Mills,Zab Judah,Bernard Taylor,Jim Watt&King Tut
The biggest improvements came at the heavyweight and welterweight divisions. Adding Ike should solidify this unit and getting rid of Oba Carr(never quite performed for the Undisputed Champs) and Limas at welterweight and replacing them with Zudah and Tut is a huge upgrade. I lost Ramos and replaced him with Taylor and Michalzewski with Mills, small downgrades but the replacements should do a very nice job. The biggest weakness again this year will be the featherweight division as yet another year I couldnt seem to get this mess straightened out. I really need a huge year out of Paterson if this division isnt going to hurt me real bad. With Murphy and Pimental getting closer to PRIME I can see some nice things from them in the near future. The losses of Mugabi and Petrolle over the past two years really bothers me as I expected the foursome with Murphy and Pimental to carry the torch and for some reason broke up this core of youngsters.
