[Crease]

So, The Two Tommys successfully defend their titles for another week alongside Mr Charles... And Michael Spinks in the only new World Champ this week.

Bob Fitzsimmons wins the inaugural Prizefighter for this season.

Good week I'd say.

[Crease]

The eagle-eyed viwers amongst you will notice that Tommy Burns and Jack Root have fought TWICE this week - in Prizefighter and outside of it.

This is my fault for not taking their fights out of the Macthup list, as such neither Burns nor Root will fight in Week 11 - to even things up.

[BigJuicyHog]

Great, I didnt authorize a fight with Spinks for my title.

[armageto]

Great, I didnt authorize a fight with Spinks for my title.

I think Spinks was the only fighter left who was eligible for Patterson to fight.

[Crease]

Great, I didnt authorize a fight with Spinks for my title.

I think Spinks was the only fighter left who was eligible for Patterson to fight.

Indeed. And that is the peril of Managing a World Champion - Managers can't just think:
"I'll keep quiet and I won't have to defend my title"...
Because that type of attitidue won't be permitted.

The Sim learns from it's mistakes and each new season we are bringing it on that bit more. For instance, the above example applied when BoxBuzz was Marciano's Manager back in the Heavyweight season and he only defended a World Title twice in 5 weeks - citing the excuse:
"I couldn't get a fight, it's not my fault".

Bearing that in mind, the Managers of the World Champions are encouraged to select a contender to defend against as soon as possible... The longer you leave it, the less choice you'll have on your options.

[BigJuicyHog]

Patterson will defend his title against Bivins.

Well, I did put this in the thread when Bivins was matched against a computer fighter, so I did name my challenger. You just failed at reading comprehension

[BoxBuzz]

Patterson took an accidental loss? Mike Spinks should be forced into a rematch under such cloudy circumstances.

Crease, did you do something incomprehensible?

[kevo]

Spinx is happy to rematch Patterson (should he still be champ in week 13).

[BigJuicyHog]

Spinx is happy to rematch Patterson (should he still be champ in week 13).

[BoxBuzz]

The blatant bullying of the fine management teams here at BRS is an abomination.
My schedule is full until September, at that time I do intend to speak to Crease about his errant manner.

Let's just hit the nail on the head here Mr Hog.

You named a challenger who had already signed a fight against another opponent.
(While there is an reasonable argument to be made that a World Title shot should take presidence over a fight with a CPU opponent in this case it was Glencoffe Johnson).

The fact remains that you named a fighter who was NOT available.

The sim is an ever-changing flow of barging and jousting throughout the Matchup threads week-after-week.

You were specifically told who the available title contenders (and that info was kept updated by me) and yet you didn't call anyone else out, so you were left with the only remaining elligible contender to face.

All that is hardly my fault, sir.

[Crease]

What is so unreasonable about expecting a World Champion to defend his title?

[BoxBuzz]

It is bad form to assume upon a champion and his entourage.

[Crease]

It is bad form to assume upon a champion and his entourage.

On that point I would agree. But it's even worse form if a Champion's Manager fails to call out any other of his elligible opponents.
