GCB RING RAP - ISSUE # 14 (10-30-1901)

Welcome back fight fans. Our “Chase For the Championships” continues on. Tonight, our fighters entered the ring one more time in hopes of moving into a ranking position that will ensure them an invitation to our first ever, GCB Title matches. Again when our year ends, we will post our final rankings. The #1 and #2 Ranked fighters will be invited to fight for the GCB World Title. Something that they have been chasing for two years.

Once those two contenders are decided, then the same rankings will tell us who will fight for our three Regional Titles. Just a reminder, all of our Main Event fighters (in game ratings of 5 and up) are divided into three regions geographically. Their home country determines what region they belong to. They are either in the Western Continental Region, the Central Continental Region or the Eastern Continental Region. A fighter will face fighters from all regions throughout his career, but he can only fight for the Regional Title in which his country belongs.

After the World Title Contenders are decided, the two top contenders belonging to the Western Continental Region will face each other for the Western Continental Title and so on for each Region. After we post our “Official GCB World Rankings,” which include all fighter, we will post our “Official Top Five Regional Rankings” for each Region.

This is truly a “Chase For The Championships!” Believe it or not tonight all of our top twenty contenders entered the ring in different venues around the world and not one of them lost a bout! However, there was one that finished his match in a Draw. We cannot help but wonder how this will effect his Ranking. #9 “Cool” Clarence Adams could not defeat club circuit fighter, Faruq Saleem, who enter the bout with a 2-2 record.

After the fight, Adams was asked if he was disappointed in his performance. “That is the dumbest question I have ever been asked,” said Adams. “Here I am ranked in the top ten and possibly in line for a title shot and I can’t even get passed this guy!”

Saleem was told about Adam’s comments and Saleem responded, “ ‘This guy’ smacked him around tonight. What has he got to say about that?”

While there were really no big upsets tonight, there is one fighter that we want to bring to every ones attention. His name is Denny “DW” Williams. DW comes to us from the UK and fight fans, this man is on fire!

Williams made his debut on 1-1-1900 just like most of our other fighters and honestly, he got off on the wrong foot. He lost an eight round Majority Decision to trail horse Steve Boom. We have seen this sort of thing happen before and really curtail a bright future, but D.W. decided not to take that loss laying down.

Since his opening career loss, Williams has won ten fights in a row and is moving up the ladder in the GCB. He was interviewed tonight after his eight round Unanimous Decision win over Walter Acosta. These were some of his comments.

“I don’t know if I should be ranked in the top or not. All I do is come out and fight one fight at a time. When I lost my first fight, I went home and told my wife and kids that my career was over. They didn’t argue or even try to convince me to hang in there. They just told me to pray about it and then make my decision. That’s what I did. I prayed for two weeks and never discussed it with anyone.

I made no plans to continue. I made no plans to quit. I basically made no plans. All I knew was that I could not keep spending money, that we did not have, to pursue this dream of being a professional boxer. It cost a lot to rent ring time in the Gym where I am from.

So, I just kept praying and then one day I got a phone call from George (trainer) and he told me that the Gym was available for Saturday night. I told him to give the spot to someone else because I didn’t think that I could afford it.

Then George asked me if I had been praying about boxing and I told him that I had. George said, ‘Kid, I think your prayers have been answered. The owner of the Gym has given you permission to train for free!’

All I could do was tell him that I would see him Saturday. The rest has been one fight at a time. I know that I don’t ’deserve’ to be ranked too high, but stranger things have happened.”

Well fight fans, we have one more night of action before we post our final Rankings of the year and find out who will be fighting for the three coveted titles of the GCB! So, until then, keep your hands up and keep moving! Good Night.
