Fictional Career Replays
After spending most of my down time preparing Sugar Ray Robinson's career replay and my latest task a slow burner I wanted something a bit easier going, that would be bit more jovial when the previous gets weary.
I'll have a fictional lead, put them in a particular place in history and try to weave them along the way to somewhere.

How it'll Work
* Going to substitute my fictional guys into cards that took place, resisting creating each boxer on card as that'll take away speed and leisure element to this. * Will generate boxers ratings through the RFG and then set auto-aging relevant to era. Hopefully that's all there is to this.

Mack's debut comes in his hometown against fellow Brooklynite Henry Schacter, currently undefeated with a record of 5-0-1.
1930-04-26 Ridgewood Grove, Brooklyn, New York, USA Freddie Huber vs. Artie DeLuca Guido Conti vs. Francisco Sosa Eddie Burl vs. Teddy Seidman Sid Silas vs. Sammy Delson Herman Riegel vs. Billy Rapp Henry Schacter vs. Louie Mack Petey Hayes vs. Danny Essen Report follows -- Schacter, previously undefeated, met a bona fide featherweight in Mack, a 17-year-old native of Brooklyn. Mack was sharp with his punches which he threw from many angles, yet it was Schacter that landed the heavier blows when he was able to get off. An entertaining affair where newcomer Mack got the decision by a majority.

Mack's second fight comes along quick as he tries to earn a wage. Three days later he steps into the ring to face Andy Raymond, a 0-2 fighter.
1930-04-29 Broadway Arena, Brooklyn, New York, USA Eric Lawson vs. Edward Hultgren Al Cohen vs. Jimmy Shea Freddie Andersen vs. Sammy Russo Carmine Zicaro vs. Johnny Guida Maxie Ziegler vs. Charley Gordon Lew Franklin vs. Beezy Thomas Louie Mack vs. Andy Raymond Allie Wolff vs. George Deschner Report follows -- In a bloody affair Louie Mack and Andy Raymond fought tooth-and-nail for four frantic rounds. Raymond had Mack's number in the first as he had him bleeding from the mouth, trapped against the ropes as he landed one big blow after another rendering his man out on his feet, but couldn't put him down. Mack returned the favour in the third as he opened up a deep cut on Raymond's eyelid. The referee over-eager looked likely to stop the fight, but plenty of persuasion over-wise from the knowledgeable crowd changed his mind. Raymond effectively blind in one eye went wild as he swung the punches at Mack, who kept the distance and worked the outside. Two judges scored it for Mack, one for Raymond.

After giving the cut inside his mouth a week or so to heal up, Mack got another fight at the Grove.
This time out the only slot was against a lightweight with a record 3-3, whose got a 11-12 pound advantage. 1930-05-10 Ridgewood Grove, Brooklyn, New York, USA Henry Goldberg vs. Gummy Snyder Mike Sankowitz vs. Jack Robinson Joe Siclari vs. Walter Burns Enzo Fiermonte vs. Guido Conti Charley Gordon vs. Lou Pampalone Petey Hayes vs. Jimmy McFarland Benny Flax vs. Eddie Forster Louie Mack vs. Maxie Farber Report follows -- The fists went flying as little Louie Mack tried his best to outgun the heavier Maxie Farber last night. Both fought hard all the way but Farber's strength told as each time they got into it blow-for-blow Mack had to back off first. Mack was able to out scrap Farber for enough of the three minutes in the third to claim at least one round in the crowd-pleasing affair. Judges scored action 3-1 in favour of Farber.

Somewhat of a rest up for Mack before his next outing.
Back among the 126-pounders Mack takes on a 1-3 local. 1930-05-23 106th Infantry Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, New York, USA Larry Marinucci vs. Tommy Jordan Matty Guida vs. Danny Shugrue Tony DeLio vs. Louie Mack Eddie Benson vs. George Giacchino Ralph Barbara vs. Mark Maxwell Report follows -- In a real snoozer Mack and a pudgy DeLio fought at a pedestrian pace. Neither seemed to warrant victory but two judges gave Mack it 3-1, enough for the split.
