Re: If you want to see your final fight....post request here....
A decent opening season, marred a little in the last week with Liston frozen out of a title shot, even WBU, yet Moore and Norton somehow fight each other twice in consective weeks for that belt and ignore my requests.....but apart from that not too bad.
Missed out on a title (3 shots, 3 losses), some good wins, avenged pretty much all my losses for Liston. Moore was poor for me and Sharkey was decent.
Are you going to post Sharkey - Tunney III, Mr Buzz?

Re: If you want to see your final fight....post request here....
That's not true. Norton beat Moore for the WBU Title in Week 39 and defended it against Young Stribling in Week 40. Techno gave me the title shot so I decided to return the favour.bengulnaci1 wrote:A decent opening season, marred a little in the last week with Liston frozen out of a title shot, even WBU, yet Moore and Norton somehow fight each other twice in consective weeks for that belt

.....and RUN from the man who crushed Tiger Jack Fox this week.
I'll post addtional fights this evening if I get time.
Re: If you want to see your final fight....post request here....
Moore gave Norton a shot when he did not warrant one and again in Week 41, Moore did not warrant a shot either. Liston beat Tyson amongst others and requested a shot from Norton, only to be ignored. That was my point. He called out the winner of Norton and Moore in week 39 and again was looking for a shot in week 41. It doesnt matter now, I guess, Liston went on to drub Tyson and Jackson.....Crease wrote:That's not true.

Re: If you want to see your final fight....post request here....
I agree with you that Norton did not deserve the title shot in Week 39, but I was offered and I took it - and in Week 41 I decided to return the favour that is all.bengulnaci1 wrote:Moore gave Norton a shot when he did not warrant one and again in Week 41, Moore did not warrant a shot either.
That's fair enough, but when you said:bengulnaci1 wrote:Liston beat Tyson amongst others and requested a shot from Norton, only to be ignored. That was my point.
bengulnaci1 wrote:yet Moore and Norton somehow fight each other twice in consective weeks for that belt and ignore my requests
That is not true - and I just had to call you out on that one.
Mate, your argument doesn't have a leg to stand on. While it's true that Norton didn't face Liston - he did face a higher-ranked fighter in Young Stribling (who incidentally is still ranked higher than Liston).bengulnaci1 wrote:He called out the winner of Norton and Moore in week 39 and again was looking for a shot in week 41.
Re: If you want to see your final fight....post request here....
Its done now. Week 41 should have seen Norton - Liston, not Moore. Seeing as I am new to this, can I ask 'returning favours' in title shots, is this allowed? In future, can I do something similiar. Just after some clarity.
Re: If you want to see your final fight....post request here....
Well that's your opinion and your entitled to it. Yet Archie was a higher-ranked fighter than Liston. Rankings don't matter much in terms of the WBU Title, but that is definitely something to bare in mind.bengulnaci1 wrote:Its done now. Week 41 should have seen Norton - Liston, not Moore.
"returning favours" is something you'll find which is quite common in the Sim. Certain Managers are alligned together Kevo and Jbacca - and there is a group called "The Alliance".bengulnaci1 wrote:Seeing as I am new to this, can I ask 'returning favours' in title shots, is this allowed?

Saying that, I am not alligned to anybody as I prefer to stay independent. But Moore deserved that return fight... I asked Deadendgeneration to give me a shot and he refused. and I asked someone else, (though I can't think of who it is off of the top of my head).
Re: If you want to see your final fight....post request here....
GBP was once part of "The Defiance".
To be part of an Alliance has been officialy determined to be "gay".
Not there there's anything wrong with that.
