EDIT: Javier/Norris is the fight I'm most interested in the first MW series. I'm taking Javier by KO5, Norris is tough but I think Javier will be able to break him down and get to that glass chin of his. Should be a hell of a fight until then.

Mike O'Dowd vs Stanley Ketchel looks like the best matchup on the North America Central card. It should be a hell of a fight as both guys are real aggressive, I'll take Ketchel by close UD.

Marcel Cerdan vs Randy Turpin and Kid Tunero vs Joey Archer should be great fights as well. I'll be rooting hard for Tunero, have to support my fellow Cuban fighters.

Double Edit: I forgot that Greg Moe was a created fighter. His fight was Tony Zale should be insane. Two tough sluggers going out there and throwing bombs sign me up for that it should be fun to watch.

I had to look up Greaves. He was a Canadian fighter who fought many top notch fighters...

That's a tough little group as well, I've got my work cut out for me.

Thanks for all your replies, guys. It makes me happy knowing how excited and interested you are in the story I'm telling and the tournaments themselves. I am really hoping that all your fighters can have great success. Don't forget, though. This is only the initial tournament to crown the champs in each division. You'll have entire careers in front of you still once it's over.
