COVER UP - 1. Reducing this down by two. Anyone stopped so many times as Carter was should not be known as a specialist in the defensive arts.

GOING FOR KNOCKOUT - 2. Increasing this by two. He had a very respectable stoppage percentage. This should be an option for him if not a speciality.

CONTROL VS BOXER - 9. Upping this by 2. A score of seven in his control factors is way too low for him, he was a contender allbeit a minor one. But if we take on average a contender having a control factor of 10. then he needs to come up from 7 as that is far more a journeyman/trial horse level of control.

CONTROL VS SLUGGER - 8. only increasing this by one here as he did have much more trouble against in your face punchers. Witness his bad losses to Valdez and Miteff.

CHIN VS KNOCKOUT -4. Worsening this by one as he was actually ko'd four times. He was not the tougest of fighters by any means.

ABSORB PUNISHMENT - 4. Again worse by one as he was actually tko'd another four times for a total of eight stoppage losses many of which he was stopped without being on the canvas which tells another bad story. Heart was not his strong point.

FAST STARTER - 3. He was caught and stopped in the 2nd round on three seperate occassions, he only started feeling safe until round three.

HITTING POWER - 4. A slight increase of 2 here. He had stoppages against just under half his wins which you would think meant I rate him higher and more powerful here but if you look at his record carefully these stoppages came mostly in the first few years of his career when he was facing limited opposition. When he moved up in quality the stoppages dried up mostly. He deserves a bump up here but not by much.

PUNCHES LANDED - 40. He was described as "fast" and this was maybe his best strength so I have no prob bumping him up to 40 if we take 38 as average.

COUNTERPUNCHING - 42. Again bumping up here slightly as he was known as a counterer and many of his best wins came in close decisions where he had countered effectively.

OVERALL RATING - 6. Up a point to 6 but really no improvment here just tweaking. He should now either fold or stick around and eek out some annoying decision wins in your universe.

Excellent! He already did, and is about to be in line for a title shot!! I left you a response at my "Partial Eclipse of the Sonny." Once again, I really appreciate your efforts in conjunction with my uni.
