I thought that the Cane/Lewis bout was going to go the distance and be very close. Stank is the surprise of the managed fighters so far IMO. He is becoming a notable power puncher and finisher, as well. It will be interesting to see how far he can go. Hopefully, he will get an opportunity for a shot at the NZ title when he gets in the rankings.

Post #298, the boxing commission is still waiting to confirm a bout for Julio Cesar Chavez.

Javier, I created a whole bunch of fighters to add to Mexico's region. Just waiting for you to pick JCC's next opponent. Also created a Mexican HW title since you (Chavez), Morales and Arreola are active in the country. Hope you still have interest in managing Chavez's future?

The USBA committee has also sent invitations to:

Chilton Promotions for Shelburg and Ketchel.

and

Billy Goat Promotions for Cane.


The committee wants to give everyone an opportunity to represent their country.

See post #459 for the possible opponents that your fighter may encounter in the national tournament. It would be a tough road to travel and the record could take some hits.

I probably should have taken an easier fight for Cane but i really wanted to give him a challenge. Gonna have to regroup after this fight.

George has been a very slow starter so far but seems to come on good in the middle rounds.

Woohoo! Too bad you promoter/managers aren't running things in the real boxing world. If you guys were, maybe we would get the matchups and fights that we really want to see! I thought you might send Ketchel but I wasn't too sure that you would send your man, Shelburg, because of the possibility that he may hit a roadblock. I like the guts, though. I will post the seedings when I get all the commitments in. Good luck to you and your fighters.

Cane has respectfully declined the invitation to the tourney. While we would really love to see him compete against the other US fighters with the recent loss the time is not right.

Honestly, I was quite surprised that you chose JH Lewis to fight for Cane this early. But it was a good test and he is rated higher than Cane to begin with, so it wasnt really much of an upset. Hopefully, Cane can get back up and get back on track.

Stank is very good in the middle rounds. All his stoppages have come between the 3rd and 7th rounds. He has 13-1 knockdown ratio right now.

Probably a wise decision. Time to build back up the confidence. I will try to get a list up for your next fight later tonight.

Joe's next opponent will be Denver Ed Smith in March.
Lloyd's next opponent will be Joe Erskine in April

Where is the list for Alexander? I saw ranked opponents from Russia but i'm a little confused.

[gocubsgo]

What do you have Cane rated? I think i had Lewis rated lower or had a hard time finding him not sure. Guess i will have to spend more time analyzing the choices

[mh2365]

did I pick another opponent for Morales?

Michael Spinks
Ernie Terrell
Bruce Seldon
DaVarryl Williamson
B.J. Flores
Virgil Hill
Randall "Tex" Cobb
Bobby Czyz
Albert "Turkey" Thompson
James "Quick" Tillis
Mike Rossman
Joe Grim
Bob Foster
Bert Cooper
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
Tyrell Biggs
Henry Tillman
S.T. Gordon
Jack Sharkey
Fast Eddie Chambers

The USBA committee has already received commitments from Spinks, Hill, Czyz, Foster and Sharkey but is waiting to here from the rest of the boxers on the list.

I have alot of confidence in Rampage's abilities but I also realistic about them and he has no chance in hell of winning this tournament. However, Rampage has never been one to run from a fight no matter how outgunned or outclassed he might be so we're throwing our hat in the ring and be joining the tournament.

Congrats Mike.

Cane is the "8" rated file from the Rocky fighterpack and JH Lewis is rated "10" default fighter file from game. Neither fighter was altered by me.

Havent put up a list for Povetkin yet. Russia has enough fighters now (been creating some fighters) to have a local country title like the Mexican title that Arreola won. Those rankings were to explain which fighters would get the 1st shot at the title based on where they were ranked as of now. Your boxer is currently ranked 5th in eligible Russian fighters. There will be an eliminator bout between the 3rd and 4th ranked to determine who will get the 1st mandatory title defense. Povetkin would probably have the next shot at the title after the 1st mandatory defense if he doesnt lose and was interested. Just FYI.

This one had to be a tough decision for Muckboys and Rampage, especially coming off the 1st defeat of his boxing career. I like the bravery and you never know how these tournaments will end up. If you have been following the other national tournaments, there have been a lot of upsets. #16, Man Power took out the #1 seed in the Bahamian tourney and that was a really bad "1" ranked fighter. Anyways, good luck in the tourney.

Povetkin just told U.K. Boxing Group that he will fight anyone from Russia who is available at this moment. If not, he is willing to go to Belarus, Kazakhstan, or Ukraine for his next opponent.

Morales will take on Sam Goodrich
