Where we're at...

On November 20, 1982, Tony Ayala knocked out Carlos Herrera in the third round to establish himself as the WBA's number one contender to Davey Moore's crown. That bout is expected to happen within the next six months, and is fast developing into a grudge match.
Moore has refered to Ayala as an 'alcoholic' and a 'little fat guy', and has also related a story where he sparred with Ayala in San Remo, Italy, a few years back, and claims to have trapped Ayala in the corner and pounded away for a full minute.
"That liar!" Ayala screamed down the phone when told the story. "I'll kill the b******!"
Davey Moore first defends his WBA strap against Gary Guiden in January at New York's Madison Square Garden. Ayala has signed to fight Leslie Gardner* as a final tune up bout in Totowa on January 26th.

*Bear and Proffesordp kindly posted there ratings of Leslie Gardner on the forum. Unfortunately I'm having problems importing the ratings into the game, so I may have to change the opponent.
