GCB RING RAP - ISSUE # 12
Welcome back fight fans. As we enter into the latter part of 1901, I want to explain to everyone just how crucial this time is for us here at GCB. I think that I can sum it up by saying that we are now officially in the “Chase For The Championships!” What I mean is that as this year winds down we will begin to see our match ups come together that will be our first Title Matches in the GCB!
As we said from the beginning, our goal for the first two years was to build a foundation of history for our organization. The plan was to let all of our fighters duke it out in the ring for two years. As they fought, some would move up the Rankings and some would not. Some would begin to pull away from the pack while some floundered. Some would prove to be capable fighters while some would prove to be top contenders! We let their in ring performances speak for themselves and as the year comes to a close, those in ring performances will either make or break their Title dreams.
Our last matches of 1901 are scheduled for December 31. When those last matches are completed, we will then post our 1901 year end World Rankings. These will by far be the most important Rankings so far. These final Rankings will be our guide in helping us choose our top two contenders for each of our titles! That’s right, after two years of matches, where you place in our 1901 year end World Rankings will determine if you will compete for one of our prestigious Titles!
To give you an idea of what we are talking about, let’s use our current Rankings as an example. Now remember, we only have four Titles available in the GCB. One World Title and Three Regional Titles. First we will look at our World Title situation. The way this will work out is that after two complete years of fights, the #1 Ranked fighter will be our #1 Contender for our World Title and our #2 Ranked fighter will be our #2 Contender for our world Title. Those two will fight each other with the winner being crowned the first GCB World Champion!
Some will say, shouldn’t you have a tournament? Our response is that we have two years of fights to determine our “Final Round,” if you will. That’s better than any tournament where a bad night can cost you a shot at the title.
If tonight were our final night and our Rankings were as they are right now (June 1901), This is what we would see:
Rank Name Country Record
1 Joseph Metzger Canada 9-0 (7)
2 Vlad Hinlitch Russia 9-0 (8)
3 Collin Byrd Argentina 9-0 (3)
4 Harold Winston U.K. 9-0 (8)
5 Mo Arrington Poland 9-0 (6)
6 Miguel Torria Mexico 8-0-1 (6)
7 Kelly Carter U.S.A. 9-0 (8)
8 Fillipi Doki Italy 9-0 (7)
9 Lothar Baxtar Germany 9-0
10 Henry Wales U.K. 8-0-1 (3)
11 Clarence Adams U.S.A. 9-0 (4)
12 William Abbot Germany 9-0 (3)
13 Steve Sully U.S.A. 8-0 (3)
14 Luis Gomez Mexico 8-0-1 (4)
15 John Wright U.S.A. 9-0 (7)
16 Claude Klitzer Germany 9-0 (7)
17 David Starr Israel 9-0 (5)
18 Victor Vicov Russia 9-0 (2)
19 Derrion Jeffers U.S.A. 8-0-1 (8)
20 Ollie Maskaevia Germany 9-0 (6)
Joseph Metzger from Canada would face Vlad Hinlitch of Russia for our world Title!
Then we would go to our “Titles” page in the game and see who the top contenders are for each of our three Main Event Regions. The top two contenders in the Western Continental Region will face each other for the Western Continental Title. The two top contenders in our Central Continental Region will face each other for the Central Continental Title and the same for our Eastern Continental top two contenders.
If we used our current Rankings, these would be our Regional Match ups.
1) Collin Byrd from Argentina would face Miguel Torria of Mexico for our Western Continental Title.
2) Harold Winston of the UK would face Mo Arrington of Poland for Our Central Title.
3) Fillipi Doki of Italy would face Victor Vicov of Russia for the Eastern Title.
Of course, if our fighters continue to stay ranked at the top this may be how it works out in six months. But the big question is will it stay the same? In six months a lot can change. Every time our fighters step into the ring, it is really a “Chase For The Championship!” Every bout could make or break their chances at winning the invitation to fight for their Regional or even World Title.
The next six months is going to make household names out of some body. Who will it be? Only time will tell! Well, that’s it for now. Remember to keep your hands up and keep moving!
