New Non-HW Boxers Rated

[crusadecat]

I wanted to create this guy more for his story than anything else. Read the bio I added . There is tons of stuff on the net , but more about his other career.

here's a boxing pic of mickey .... plus wanted to bump this thread back up see if we can get some more non heavyweights made

[crusadecat]

Wasn't sure if I posted this guy yet. Interesting fellow who went on to become a very respected actor both stage and screen. Not too shabby as a fighter eithier. Canada Lee.

[crusadecat]

Sticking with non hw fighters with an unusual first name and last name of lee, Here is Ah Wing Lee, no relation to Canada though. I'd love to be able to find a picture of Ah Wing. (An interesting side note is that Ah Wing was a common name applied to fighters from the orient. There were several Ah Wing Lee's along the way but this was the most famous and the best of them.

thanks cc, I hoped bumping this up would produce some new non HW fighters

[crusadecat]

I'll try and fish out a few more : )

Ricky Meyers Light Welterweight 1988-1995

An very exciting slugger out of New Jersey who was often on the USA Network back in the early 90s. Ricky owned a record of 20-3-1 12 KOs and ownes a win over Micky Ward in 1991 before Ward hit his stride.

Major Wins:
Livinstone Bramble W10, Roland Cummings WTKO4, Micky Ward W10.

Losses: Zack Padilla L TKO4, Fernando Acero-Sanchez L TKO4, Tony Martin L PTS 8.

Draw: Carl Griffith D10

He should be an exciting edition.

Regilio Tuur Super Featherweight 1989-2002

WBO Super Featherweight Champ from 1994-96
46-4-1 30 KOs

Most known for his one punch KO of Kelcie Banks during the 1988 Olympic Games in Soel South Korea. Retired the champ in 1996 to pursue business in his home country and returned to the ring briefly in 2001-02.

Crusade;
Here's a challenge. In the spirit of the Tony Danza and Mickey Cohen posts, how about one of actor Mickey Rourke. He's got a few professional bouts under his belt ...

IceTea;
Thanks for Tuur. He was on my list of Dutch fighters to rate.

[crusadecat]

I located his record an impressive undefeated but then you look at who he fought and some really shabby fighters. Worse than who Danza fought by far. He would be a -1 I'm thinking.

[IceTea]

I almost thought that I overrated him, but in his prime, he was a quality fighter. He did lose to Calvin Grove early in his carrer, hence the lower rating versus those with boxer styles. Plus, he was a little stiff legged with his front foot which allowed the "movers and shakers" to use movement with success. He had a much better than average punch though.

Looks about right to me, MJ, but haven't had time to do a lot of playtesting, yet. Will use him some this weekend.

I appreciate all your posts. Thanks.

[IceTea]

Cool, I got Ricky Meyers right. I put him in against a slick Jessie James leghi (spelling) and he lost 10 of the 12 rounds but landed a few good shots. I have some others in the works.

Skipper Kelp
Robert Wangila

[vistaman44]

Not familiar with Kelp, but Wangila's another on my list. Did you do either David Pearce or Stewart Lithgo? Thought I had seen those, but not finding them anywhere. Too early for me to be suffering from "senior moments" ... LOL!

[IceTea]

I haven't heard of the two you mentioned. Why don't you rate Wangila and I'll do Kelp and throw in Todd Foster?

Kelp was born in Vietnam and was on Active Duty in the Air Force when he began his boxing carrer. I remeber him in the olypick trials in 88.

[vistaman44]

Will do. Thanks, MJ.

[vistaman44]

Had some time this morning, so went ahead and worked on Wangila. Rating seems a hair high to me, based on in-the-game opponents, but 100-fight results were good in playtesting against Waters and the Smiths.

Robert Wangila
Born in Nairobi, Kenya.
a/k/a Wangila Napunyi.
1988 Olympic welterweight gold medalist for Kenya.
Fought professionally out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Weighed 145-153.
22-5-0, 16 KOs as a pro. (4 losses by TKO and the other by KO)
Beat Martin Quiroz, Buck Smith, Jose Varela, Calvin Meeks, William Hernandez, Verdell Smith, Pedro Aguire and Anthony Martinez.
Lost to William Hernandez, Eric Hernandez, Buck Smith, Troy Waters and David Gonzalez (tkoby9, died of injuries six days later).

A come-at-you slugger who could also fight outside, but preferred not to. Fair defense, but chin was suspect.

Skipper Kelp 24-4-1 15 KOs (Welterweight)

Name: Skipper Kelp
Class: Welterweight
Record: 24-4-1 15 KOs
Country: Born in Vietnam, lives in Vegas (was enlisted in the Airforce when he began boxing) Olympic Trials 1988

Todd Foster 41-4-1 34 KOs Lightweight

Name: Todd Foster
Record: 41-4-1 34 KOs
Class: Lightweight
style: Slugger
Summery: though Todd had 41 wins, he never fought for any type of a title. His opponent quality is weak at best and the two name fighters he stepped with took him out.

Wins: Reggie Strickland W8, Kelcie Banks W10
Losses: Hector Camocho Sr. KO5, Jimmy Paul TKO6, John Lark KO1.
