LHW SEASON WEEK 25 MATCHUPS:

[Deadendgeneration]

JDC how about a stable war? You choose the fights.

[HomicideHenry]

Well it's obvious to me that Spinks is running from Gibbons.

And it appears that Ezz is as well.

Not to mention Bivens.

It's sad to see.

cowards...

all.

How are we running when we were more or less drafted to face off with others this week in title matches?

[BoxBuzz]

Your happy you were drafted....thus being able to remain quiet....going with the flow....

You should be demanding to fight the best....

Thing is, the four best men are fighting it out for the titles. In the end, the winner will wind up facing you for the undisputed title.

If people "do the right thing" then yes.

The man ranked number 4(and has been a consistent fixture in the top 4) strongly disagrees with you.

Indeedm Sam has been a fixture in the top 10 for a very long time now. Let's hope that he gets another crack at a World Titl before this season is out.

PS. And it always helps to keep your record updated so that fellow Managers are better informed of your fighters form.

I think he means the best 4 that aren't tied up in the tourney. I think the season as a whole, Gibbons, Langford, Charles, Loughran, and Spinks are probably the top 5 fighters, up to now.....

[BoxBuzz]

I'll post the current ratings.....sometimes I space on that...going up now.

[Crease]

48 hours gents:

UNMATCHED FIGHTERS
BOXBULLY - EDDIE MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD, JOE KNIGHT
BOXBUZZ - KID NORFOLK
DEADENDGENERATION - BILLY CONN, MATTHEW SAAD MUHAMMAD
DETROITHXC - MICHAEL MOORER
FIST OF LEGEND - JIMMY BIVINS
FRILLA - JOSE TORRES, JACK ROOT
GLITTERMONKEY - ARCHIE MOORE, DARIUSZ MICHALCZEWSKI
HOMICIDEHENRY - JOHNNY FRANKHAM
JDC - PHILADELPHIA JACK O'BRIEN, HAROLD JOHNSON

[Crease]

I think it is also worth noting that Jimmy Bivins has offered a title shot to Dariusz Michalczewski - this fight will go ahead unless Michalczewski's Manager pulls him out.

Jimmy Bivins offers a fight to Dariusz Michalczewski

And should that be settled, the title fights are confirmed for this week.

[HomicideHenry]

Frankham will face off against Battling Bozo

['Frilla]

Torres will fight Root.

[Crease]

Jimmy Bivins offers a fight to Dariusz Michalczewski

You know what? I'm gonna go ahead and undersign this fight now. I can't imagine GM not agreeing to this title shot for two reasons,
1. Michaelczewski has not yet won a World Title this season and
2. He would be doing well to fight for a World Title with his current ranking at 24th.

So this fight is signed - unless Glittermonkey comments that he doesn't want it. I think that is more than fair.

[Crease]

I think he means the best 4 that aren't tied up in the tourney. I think the season as a whole, Gibbons, Langford, Charles, Loughran, and Spinks are probably the top 5 fighters, up to now.....

Interesting point.

I would agree that Tommy Gibbons and Ezzard Charles are in the top two (either way around) and I would also put Michael Spinks and Tommy Loughran up there seeing as they both defend their world titles three times consecutively. And after his recent exploits, you'd probably have Jimmy Bivins up there as well.

The sixth spot is a toughie. There are a few candidates who could be put in there:
Sam Langford has been in the top 10 for quite sometime.
Floyd Patterson is the Original WBO Champ.
Archie Moore has maintained a high ranking (even though his record is not kept updated)
Kid Norfolk has been a 2 time IBO Champ.
Maxie Rosenbloom has been a 2 time IBO Champ.

It's a close one to call.

PS. And ultimately this conversation is a precursor to the Super Six debate which will be coming up within the next 3-4 weeks.

[Crease]

24 hours gentlemen, let's get cracking:

UNMATCHED FIGHTERS
BOXBULLY - EDDIE MUSTAFA MUHAMMAD, JOE KNIGHT
BOXBUZZ - KID NORFOLK
DEADENDGENERATION - BILLY CONN, MATTHEW SAAD MUHAMMAD
GLITTERMONKEY - ARCHIE MOORE
JDC - PHILADELPHIA JACK O'BRIEN, HAROLD JOHNSON

Fortunately Big George has been on holiday to Timbuktu for the past few weeks, so if there's no change, I will match up the remaining eight against each other. (And less work for BoxBuzz).

[BoxBuzz]

Norfolk would like to back hand EMM.

[gilgamesh]

Well it's obvious to me that Spinks is running from Gibbons.

And it appears that Ezz is as well.

Not to mention Bivens.

You realize you were kinda rhyming with the first 3 lines there?

[BoxBuzz]

prose 'r us.

[Crease]

TIME IS UP!!!

Fighters will be macthed be the unanswered callouts - followed by then by the rankings.

[Crease]

Card is complete!
