UTBA-II Boxing League

[Jersey-Jim]

Whew, I'm glad to get by that one! Especially with the close 2nd half! That was like letting the clock run out in a close NFL game!

Those Undesputed Champions are TOUGH.

Tommy Burns must have waltzed into a KO bomb?

It was worth the wait in a close one

Sorry for the slow week 3 fellas. Just too many irons in the fire for me around the holidays.

Nice win J-J
Yeah Burns being floored in the first round must be the fluke of the year. If memory serves correct that was Nicholsons first win. Your BW's held their own against the strength of my team so you deserved it.

I think I found a real dud in this Rocky Gattelari of course Jimmy Doyle hasnt exactly held is own either. Beginners have a real tough go of it Ive noticed.

Anyone that does their own dynasties have you noticed beginners tend to stuggle more against more advanced fighers in 2.5? I havent really played enough to find out for myself.

I noticed in version 2.0 that certain all time greats don't perform well at all as beginners. It seems very hard to produce accurate results, especially with knockout artists. It's something I've noticed, too, in my own universes. I usually start simming my fighters in pre-prime. Rocky Marciano doesn't get all of those early round KO's when I sim him from "Beginner."

Heavy Leather Promotions 16-15-1 (10) = 50.5
Undisputed Champions 15-16-1 (10) = 47

Congrats JJ on a very hard fought win,yet another close matchup. I tell ya,if the early goings are any indication,outside of the top 2-3 teams everyone seems really bunched together talent wise. I have a feeling we are going to see some strange things happen in the standings this season...just a hunch.

[Jersey-Jim]

I was thinking the same thing. A lot of these match-ups are ending in victories that allow for very little error. Depending upon which way the scales tip, you can have a great season or end up looking like a bunch of journeymen.

Damn, how did my guys beat the Villebillies? Didn't expect that at all, especially after the buttwhoopin' we took in week two.

[Mad Bomber]

MJ, welcome to the Big Smoke (Toronto) if you remember from the first season I was a very gracious host, and I would like to invite you and your team over for a night on the town after the match.

Your team is located geographically closer to Toronto than anyone else in the league, so there is no reason to hurry back. Also I hope I can hold your team under 70 points. LOL

Nice win for Tommy, but a very rough outing for Shane and the Kangaroos.
