Hi GForce,
I was going through your list of fighters and I saw a few fighters that I can't find in my database. To name a few Jesus Salud and Terry Marsh, can you tell me where you picked these guys up?
Thanks in advance.

[GForce]

I created a lot of guys myself. Others I found in various threads here that other guys did. Do a search of names you're looking for to see if guys have been rated by others. I meant to post a lot of mine and probably will at some point. Just got too wrapped up in doing the dynasty thread.

GH

[wanderer]

Thanks GForce. I have looked for a few fighters this way, but I couldn't find them so I will be looking forward to your posting in the future.

Keep up the great work, like reading it.

OK, the February schedule is completed above.

Also, though the brackets have begun, you can enter predictions via the link in my signature for any of the bouts yet to occur. Hopefully people will take part as I think it would be interesting.

Thanks.

[meade95]

Gforce - Great thread / postings. Enjoyable to read. Did you tweak any of the fighers yourself?? (Some fighters, many in the lower weight divisions need to be tweaked some...IMO).

Just curious if you tweaked any (adjusted their ratings where needed).

Look forward to how this all plays out.

[meade95]

I'll take Jeff Fenech to win your Jr. FW division.

And K. Galaxy to win your JBW division.

[Bam Bam]

no tv coverage for the boza edwards/choi fight?

[GForce]

Yeah, basically there are 2 cards on Saturday's, but both wouldn't be PPVs. I guess I just include stuff like that for "feel."

Personally, I dug Boza

Hell, Mayorga is on that card too!

Thanks. You know, I haven't changed many ratings, largely because I didn't want to go through everybody. I know there are some who may need changing, and a lot of them are at the lower classes (that's also where I needed to add the most guys). I'm certainly open to suggestions as to ratings changes.

RESULTS: Card for Friday, Feb. 5 (No TV)

WBA Featherweight: #7 Kevin Kelley vs #10 Manuel Medina (Kelley UD 10: 96-94, 97-93, 100-91; Even fight through the first 5 (though one judge was obviously unanimously for Kelley)...Kelly dominates second half including 8th round knockdown)

WBC Heavyweight: #6 George Chuvalo vs #11 Hasim Rahman (Chuvalo MD5: 39-37, 39-36, 38-38; Odd fight for a few reasons. Chuvalo scored a second round knockdown, yet fight was scored 10-9 on 2 of 3 cards. Fight is also stopped in 5th after accidental butt opens huge gash above Chuvalo's eye. Rahman livid over stoppage)

IBF Cruiserweight: #4 Imamu Mayfield vs #13 Sergio Merani (Mayfield UD 10: 96-92, 96-92, 97-92; Dirty fight, both lost a point during the course of it. Average-paced fight, Merani just had nothing in the tank in the final 4).

IBF Middleweight: #6 Robert Allen vs #11 Alex Ramos (Allen UD 10: 98-93, 97-93, 97-93; Allen set a fast pace Ramos was just not able to keep up with. After a punishing 5th round (27-6, no KD) by Allen, Ramos had nothing left in the tank and Allen cruised the rest of the way.)

IBF Bantamweight: #3 Chul-Ho Kim vs #14 Ruben Sanchez Leon (Kim UD 10: 97-94, 96-93, 98-91; Not much to say...Kim dominates in a relatively dull affair. Leon was never a threat.)

IBF Lightweight: #6 Sean O'Grady vs #11 Aldo Rios (O'Grady KO 9: O'Grady scores 4 knockdowns in fight, last one for good. A dominating performance.)

Thanks. If you checked the rules of the universe at the start of the thread you'll see why the WBO is weaker. But my guess from that crop is that after 5 fights Scypion should be above .500, which would enable him to sign with one of the big 3.

Funny on Minter...my older brother, who got me into boxing in the 80s, said Minter would be his sleeper in that tourney also.

If Hagler and Monzon win and make it through their obligatory defenses, they will have the option of fighting each other to unify. Would certainly be a fun one.

Middleweight and Welterweight are probably my favorite classes in this thing. Just LOADS of talent.
