LaLaguna Auditorium, Torreon, COA, Mexico. Former stablemates at Villebille Boxing Gym, square off in a heavyweight bout tonight at the LaLaguna Auditorium. Morales outlands his former stablemate 19-9, but it seems like Arreola landed the harder blows and had Morales hurt in the first round. A devastating right cross drops Arreola in the 2nd round and Arreola is having his own nightmare because he is out cold and asleep!

Ali is able to get up but isn’t able to respond to the punishment that he is taking and the ref stops the fight.

Here is a question for you since you are a UK fan/expert. Give me a list of the best UK fighters. Some fighters getting ready to be introduced into the uni are:

Wilde - Wales
Eubank - England
Benn - England
Hatton - England
Buchanan - Scotland

Thanks

Jimmy Wilde is the best fighter in that group. Eubank, Benn, and Hatton would be below him.

Speaking of which.....I was thinking about dropping Povetkin and picking up Eubank and/or Benn.

Keep the Calzaghe file that is being used now. Don't want to change anything that has been working in my favor.

Honeyghan will face Ezra Sellers.

Let me know about Povetkin. Do you want to take another fight, because if so, I will put up a list for his next fight? Or, let me know if you want to drop him and sign a new fighter.

I agree, I would keep the current Calzaghe file too, man, he is just kicking everybody's ass right now!

Nobody is in line to take Sanchez, I was just listing the fighters that are going to make their pro debut in the universe this year, 1955. Do I smell Aztec Promotions starting up again? There have been a lot of Mexican fighters introduced since you have been away and more will be coming into the universe when the new 2.5 version is released. Ricardo Lopez, Pipino Cuevas, Carlos Palomino, Ruben Oliveras and Miguel Canto.

All my guys are doing too well otherwise I'd take him.

[btown32]

In case you were wondering:

I have increased the stable maximum to 5 total, 4 max for a region.
If you decide to sign another fighter, he will not be able to sign to fight until the 2.5 version is up an running though. You can sign a fighter to a promotional contract now, but he will have to wait to fight.

I expect the universe to be a lot easier to run with all the new additions to the new 2.5 version, especially with all the groups allowed for each fighter. This one addition will make my life so much easier with rankings and setting up fights for each country, region and section.

[Romdawg88]

Well, since you've increased the size to 5 I would like to sign Jimmy Wilde to a promotional contract. This move is part of my plan to expand out into the EHBA region that I start with the Galaxy signing. I'm also thinking of dropping Rampage when TBCB 2.5 comes out and signing Shane Mosley instead depending on how Quinton performs till then.

Nice job by Stankovich. While i know he will never compete on a World level he has done better than i expected.

[a87star]

My original plan was to drop two fighters, then sign Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn to promotional contracts. But i'll just drop Povetkin since we will be allowed to have five fighters in a stable.

Stanky is one of my favorites because of his KO power. He is working his way towards the NZPBA title. Maybe not world title stuff, but hopefully he can win a local title and keep it for awhile.

[Romdawg88]

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask but can I get an opponent list for Rampage so I can set up his match for next month.

I'll ease Rampage back into the ring this month against Michael Grant who Rampage should dispose of easily. However, next month I plan to put him in with a stiff test to see if Rampage has a future with the Muckboys.
