Rating fighters is, and has always been, my favorite aspect of the game. About the only time I run an actual fight is if I'm playtesting my ratings. I have all kinds of great ideas about constructing a game universe but I always tell myself that I need to rate a few hundred more fighters first. As I've stated before, my main goal at present is to resurrect all of the fighters that were in some version or other of the game in the past but no longer appear. I'm a little over half done with achieving that goal. Then I can allow myself to get sidetracked and start rating other fighters full time. Future projects include 1) More Mexicans 2) Get those pesky Europeans done like I promised 3) Rate every amateur boxer who appeared in the Olympics 4) Make up templates for fighters whose overall ratings are between 1 and 8 or 9 (any higher than that and you're dealing with unique individuals who are essentially untemplatable)--I hope to have 100 for each overall rating number, and 5) continue rating any fighter I just happen to feel like rating that day.

Really looking forward to these, John

While perusing the Junior Lightweights I ran across Jose Luis Cruz in the 2004 file. Looking at boxrec it didn't make any sense that he was listed as a Jr. Lightweight as this was significantly below his weight range. There was another Jose Luis Cruz different from the one already in the game but he too was above the Junior Lightweight weight range. I discovered a Jose Leonardo Cruz within the weight range but his most significant accomplishments were as a lightweight. So I decided that the listing was a mistake but I rated the new Jose Luis Cruz and Jose Leonardo Cruz anyway so here they are.

Last night's Friday Night Fights featured three fighters, Vivian Harris, Deontay Wilder and Andrae Carthron which have already been rated either by me or the TBCB3 DB Team. These five here have not.

I discovered Johnny (Jimmi) Bredahl listed in the 1995 file as a Junior Lightweight. This way above his weight range. He was rarely above 118 lbs. I instead changed his weight classification from this file to Junior Featherweight.

John Dewey · 08-17-2009, 11:25 PM

I confused Johnny Bredahl with his brother Jimmi. Totally disregard the previous rating and look for Jimmi Bredahl's file in the Junior Lightweight thread. Sorry about that.

Hey John, you done anything on Karo Murat yet @ SMW? He's 19-0 (12 KO's) I'm just asking because I saw he's moving up to LHW next.

I had sent a list to John with a whole bunch of Euro fighters to rate and Karo was on it. He had some nice wins as a SMW. I would love to see him fight Campillo again because that fight was very close and IMO a controversial decision was handed down.

Would love to see John's take on him.

John Dewey · 08-21-2009, 08:28 AM

I'll deal with him this weekend but, as I've said before, my focus is to get the old Title Bout fighters done that no longer appear in the game.

No problem. The work you have done there is appreciated and whenever you can get to those is fine with me.
