But remember with the 3 round format anything can happen.

[Lee]

OK we are ready to roll, the tournament fights will be 15 rounds each, which will be the only time the boxers will fight above the three round format (barring another tournament if the title is ever vacated for any reason)

The tournaments will have a brief round by round summary since it is a special event, while the matches will just have the results, money made and a "moment of the match" commentary

Good luck to all the teams

[Lee]

...
....Tommy Gibbons vs Gerry Cooney

Round
1	Slow round with Gibbons jabbing and clutching and Cooney working the body
2	Gibbons is busier and finds a home for the jab again, Cooney is chasing

Semi-Final Matchups

Tommy Gibbons vs John L Sullivan
Corrie Sanders vs John Henry Lewis

Moment of the first round was definitely Sanders demolition of Moore. After that 1st knockdown Archie just never recovered.

[CONN CHRIS]

Cooney just didn't grow up in a tough enough neighborhood.

Congrats to Gibbons.

[McClearyMauler]

That kinda surprises me.

[SAL]

I think The Sniper has a chance at making the finals. Only 3 rounds under his belt......he should be well rested.

[Hanson Bros]

$18 well spent

...
....Tommy Gibbons vs John L Sullivan

Round
1	Sullivan caught Gibbons with a wicked right, then pummeled him into submission

John L Sullivan defeats Tommy Gibbons by 1st round TKO 2:33


...
......Corrie Sanders vs John Henry Lewis

Round
1	Wild 1st round as both men threw haymakers for 3 minutes, too close to call
2	Slow start, but the first punch Sanders landed put Lewis down, where he stayed

Corrie Sanders defeats John Henry Lewis by 2nd round KO 1:08

A shocking pair of results as both ended so suddenly, with Gibbons taking an obscene amount of punishment before it was stopped. We will definitely have a slugfest in the finals!!

Finals Matchup for the Chilton Cup

What kind don't I like

I mix it up, Heineken Light, Sam Adams, Bud Select, Blue Moon and Sea Dog Bluepaw get the most rotation. Sipping a Miller Chill Lime ATM, pretty good actually.

And speaking of celebrating..........We have a Chilton Cup Champion!!

[Lee]

The time has come as John L Sullivan and Corrie Sanders make their way to the ring. The Sniper has fought less than 5 rounds total, but the Boston Strongboy is coming off an impressive blitz of arguably the finest pure Boxer in the WTB.

The Crowd is alive and we are ready!!!

...
......John L Sullivan vs Corrie Sanders

Round 1
The fighters circle each other, measuring, feinting, slowly closing the distance, Sanders fires an overhand right the glances off of Sullivan's forehead. Sullivan ducks and looking at the floor uncorks a wild right of his own that lands flush on Sanders jaw and drops him like a sack of lead. Sanders lies flat on his back, staring vacantly into the ring lights as he is counted out without moving.

The Winner by knockout in 1:22 of the 1st round and new.......
Chilton Cup Champion!!!!!

The Boston Strongboy.......John L Sullivan!!!


And with the conclusion of the tournament, the season begins as Sullivan will be the man match in and match out with the target on his back. And with the regular season fights only lasting 3 rounds.....Anything can happen!!

[McClearyMauler]

Congrats Scoman!

Good Run Sal, Sanders almost shocked the world!

		Moment of the Match

The moment of the match, if you could call it that, has to be something we may never see again in WTB as McCoy and Allen fight 3 rounds so devoid of action, that referee Jay Nady could not see fit to give a single round to either man. This match has to be boxings version of a pitchers duel.
