As we get into the lower reaches of fighters, this is where the games ratings become really quite inaccurate I feel. Anway here is Bygraves the Jamacan heavy, quite a few ammendments here.

FOUL RATING - Frequently. Degraded 3 steps. Bad start, how do you give him a seldom when the man lost four seperate times to disqualification and was known as a really dirty fighter, Its ratings like these which makes me question if fighters records were given even more than a cursory glance.

FIGHT INSIDE -2. Up one, he was a come foward brawler so upping this.

FIGHT OUTSIDE -1. Down one, as above taking this down as he was not known for his boxing skills.

GO FOR KNOCKOUT -2. Up two, he was quite capable of taing his foes out so im making this an option for him.

CONDITIONING -8. At the end of the day he was a quality journeyman so im making sure he acts like it here by sometimes taking fights on short notice.

INTELLECT 5. Down two. He was not a clever fighter not much subtlety.

CONTROL VS BOXER -7. Up one. He was a journeyman not a tomato can, so bringing him up slightly here.

CONTROL VS SLUGGER -8. Up two, as above but always more effecgtive against his fellow brawlers.

CHIN VS KNOCKDOWN -2. Up one. Actually a pretty solid chin a lot of his stopappages were tkos or straight ko's not much evidence of him going down easily at all.

RESISTANCE TO CUTS -2. Up one. Not much evidence of him being overly a bleeder so bringing this down slightly as a 3 here can be quite extreme.

AGRESSIVNESS -8. Up one. He was a come ahead brawler so should be in this region.

HITTING POWER -6. Up five. This was way out, he stopped over half of his opponents in his victories and a solid six here is a nice number for him, with this at one he does not perform at all how he should he should feel slightly dangerous with slow lumbering punches which could wear you down. There is a bad tendancy in the games ratings to give lower skilled fighters a one hitting power as a matter of course, I hate that every fighter is an individual.

COUNTERPUNCHING -30. Degraded two steps. He was slow and crude however and there is no reason for him to have an equal punching and counterpunching number.

OVERALL RATING -3. Up two. A much better level for him as he will now perform as he should as a quality journeyman travelling the globe taking fights where he can get them and sometimes winning sometimes losing.
