Summary To Date of the Various Levels
Just for the halibut, and because Conn Chris suggested it, I’m going back to summarize a bit how each of the levels went, with the major fighters’ records listed.
Level 1 – true tomato cans
Here’s my favorite set, the true tomato cans :
Levi Forte (10-1 5) – Levi won the championship with a nice run of boxing, climaxed with a 2nd round KO of Pedro Agosto! He just was a solid fighter who beat everyone else in Level 1.
Pedro (Schoolboy) Agosto (ffice:smarttags" />12-4-1 9) – Pedro came in 2nd, and may have the most fights of anyone in this thread. He decimated the ranks of the level 1 guys, going 7-1-1 6. His stoppage percentage was awesome in the Level 1 tourney. While he won enough to advance to the Level 3 matches, his KO power diminished. He made it to the Elite 8 in the Twos tourney.
Eddie Gregg (7-2-2 5) – Eddie went 5-1-1 4, going a long ways, then also advanced in the Level 2 tourney to the Sweet 16s.
Bill Squires (6-2 6) – Bill was a crowd-pleaser . He made it to the Final 4. Every fight was action-packed. He savaged Powell in the Twos tourney.
Charley Powell (5-2 4) – Charley had a surprisingly good record, also making it to the Final 4.
Derek (D-Mos) Amos (6-3-1 2) – This slugger attracted a host of fans, and was always a force. He won a post-tourney elimination event, then lost a narrow MD to Champion Levi Forte !
Soldier lace>Kearnslace> (4-2-3 3) – Soldier went 4-1-2 in his flight. He has been a warrior who never retreats .
Mel Turnbow (4-3 1) – Mighty Mel, perhaps the best Level 1 fighter of all time, has a very solid record . He made it to the Sweet 16 in the original tournament (topping Butterbean along the way) before narrowly losing a SD to Rudi Lubbers. He brought out the crowd for every fight! He lost a close MD to Champion Levi Forte . If the fight had gone 8 rounds instead of 10, Mel would have become the champion! He lost a close MD that many thought should have been a draw to Keith McKnight in the Twos tourney.
Reportedly, many boxers dodged a match with Turnbow, because of his boxing acumen. He was and is the Man!
Butterbean (4-3-1 2) – This portly lad has been the butt of many a joke, deservedly so, eating his way through many buffets . Sal loves him. He won in the Twos tourney.
Danny Wofford (6-7-1 1) – The round mound was 0-2-1 in the original tournament, disappointing Romultiltus. He then lost a SD to George Foreman Makachunga that everyone thought he’d won, and a MD to Jukebox Timebomb ! Rebounding from that dismal beginning, he exceeded all expectations by advancing into the Level 3 tournament . He KOd Dino Dennis in the Twos tourney, He easily outpointed Jose Urtain to make it to the Elite 8 of the Twos tourney. He would have won his next match against Steffen Tangstad if it had gone only 8 rounds. He advanced to the Sweet 16s in the challenge round of the 3s tourney! Next to Mel, he has been the most popular.

John Basil Jackson (3-4) – Jabba the jabber threw almost no other punches, yet was able to frustrate most of his opponents.
These Magnificent 11 were the class of the level 1 fighters.
