Back in the daze the Trunzo boys would customize 2 fighter's cards ( yes, those dark and dank manual days) to reflect how they felt they would do against each other. They usually repeated the warning several times: This Is To Be Used For This Match Only! It was a lot of fun and a real treat.

This came up for me when I matched a prime Larry Holmes up against a prime Joe Frazier. The TB key to this matchup, which favors Larry, is in his B/S rating. His CFs are 11/12. Frazier, built from the ground up by Durham to hunt down and destroy boxers (Ali), is a 13/10. Pitting them against each other gives Holmes a puncher's advantage against Frazier- something I find a little tough to live with.

The B/S dual CF is a wonderful tool in TB. This is one of those rare times when I may override it for a This Match Only moment. Larry, unless desperate and going for the "win by a knockout" late in the bout, may have to fight Joe as a boxer.
