Re: HW mythic tourny 2
Good list... 
My cuedos to the "The Aliens"... 
10 rounders
Turkey Thompson Vs Cleveland Williams:
I'd say Williams on points, a more talented boxer than Thompson in my opinion...
Elmer Ray (195lbs) Vs Donovan Ruddock (221lbs)
If Ray could survive the big weight difference, I think he could pull off a points victory.
Earnie Shavers (210lbs) Vs Ingemmar Johannson (200lbs)
Good fight!!! In the past I wuld have said Johannson, but a few months ago I started getting into Shavers and watching his fights (all that I could find) and so, I'd think that Sahvers would probably win by a late KO or stoppage (round 8 or 9)...
Bruce Woodcock (195lbs) Vs Max Schmelling (190lbs)
Schmeling is a more talented boxer... Schmeling ref stoppage round 10.
Tommy Morrison (225lbs) Vs Mac Foster (211lbs)
I think Morrisons style would be made for Foster... Morrison, KO round 6.
Max Baer (206lbs) Vs Ron Lyle (220lbs)
GOOD FIGHT! Baar was always good at fighting bigger men... But if Lyle can beat the likes of Shavers, I think he could beat Baer... But, I'd put id own to 50-50... I'm gonna pick Baer on this occasion...
George Godfrey (233lbs) Vs David Tua (227lbs)
I think Tua, (on his best day) would be too strong for the resilient Godfrey... Tua wins by tko...
Gerry Cooney (225lbs) Vs Luis Firpo (216lbs)
I think Firpo is an under-rated boxer... And if he could stand up to Dempsey, I think he'd have a reasonable chance at beating Cooney...

Williams SD
Ruddock KO3 Slugfest that sees Razor win mainly because of weight advantage
Shavers KO5 He would put his hands on Johansson at some point in the 1st half of the fight and I don't think Ingemar would survive it.
Schmeling UD
Foster KO4
Lyle SD on one of his best nights
Tua DQ Tua catches Godfrey cold in the 1st. Godfrey gets up but initiates what would later become Trinidad's trademark. After 8 low blows, Godfrey is disqualified.
Cooney KO 8 but could go the other way around
Could have some good matchups in the next round

Lyle is hit hard by Baer's overhand right and elects to box behind his
stiff jab. Lyle seemingly running short of breath after tasting Baers

by the fight being just ten rounds.

Williams looked to land the left hook early in the fight, it manages to
slam home and against Ruddock's gloves. Ruddock tries to play counter
fighter, but leaves himself open on several occasions leading up to round
4. Loading up with his lead uppercut Ruddock finds himself being picked
off by Williams. As round 5 gets under way, Ruddock works behind a
jab and slowly finds a home for his right hand. Both guys go toe to toe,
Ruddock hitting the canvas first. Round six gets under way with Williams
going down twice, once from a left uppecut, right cross and thirty seconds
later after a right hand crashes into him. Unable to recover the Ref stops the
fight.
Ruddock TKO 7.
Bruce Woodcock Vs Earnie Shavers.
Woodcock comes out hard and fast from the opening seconds, almost

twitch.

up like a yo yo. But the Ref has seen enough.

Both fighters are cautious for the first two rounds, working behind single
jabs and hooks, trying to establish a rythm. Cooney starts to slam the

manages to land hard and telling shots into Tua who absorbs them doing
his best to land that one good shot. Round five starts with Tua landing

across his chest and side of the face as he blasts away at Tua.

News just in....
Donovan Ruddock Vs Earnie Shavers
After a slow start Ruddock works behind his jab and looks to land
the 'smash'. Shavers goes to the body well and finds the uppercut
landing well. It is in round 9 that Shavers lands a vicious right hand
that puts Ruddock down for the count.
Shavers KO 9.
David Tua vs Ron Lyle.
For most of the night Lyle fights as the boxer, banging away and then
tying Tua up, working from the outside and frustrating the stocky
Tua. The Tuaman loading up on hooks and a heavy jab manages to land
but his frequency is just a bit under that off Lyles.
The fight picks up around the 5th round, with both men going at it hard,
a double left hook tearing skin above Lyle's right eye becomes a point of
concern for his corner.
It is in the 9th that the blood is coming out to much, that the ref has to
stop the fight, awarding the victory to Tua.

Re: HW mythic tourny 2
Tua clobbers the perennially over-estimated Shavers, IMO. The first left hook Tua lands turns Shavers' suspect jaw to putty. Tua, on the other hand, could probably absorb at least a few big shots from Shavers' monster right, & once he lands in retaliation...
Re: HW mythic tourny 2
Earnie Shavers vs David Tua
Both men start the fight steady and cautious. Shavers is able to
send his heavy right hand home. A back and forth war, that see's
an even footing between both men. Shavers bombs home several
hard shots in the third, putting Tua onto the back foot.
By the seventh the fight has slowed up, and with a mamouth left
hook cleanly landing on Shavers jaw, sending him to the canvas.
He is counted out leaving Tua standing the victor of the tournament.
