[kevo]

Dariusz M accepts his title shot

RJJ offers a shot to Carl Froch

[armageto]

Jirov will take on Antonio Tarver

Calzaghe would like a shot at the belt against Steve Collins. If no dice there, he'd like to take on Sven Ottke. If nothing there, sign up Graciano Rocchigiani.

[gilgamesh]

Dariusz M accepts his title shot

RJJ offers a shot to Carl Froch

No thanks, Froch is gonna go forward with his bout against Fidel Castro Smith, we have a plan for the next 3 weeks and it doesn't involve Roy Jones Jr. any step of the way.

[kevo]

Well, after that shameless duck, Roy offers a shot to either Ward or Calzaghe.

[gilgamesh]

You can call it a Shameless duck if you choose, but I have a plan. A plan that will take my man Froch right back to the top. It has to be done when he's ready though not just anytime the chance comes along.

[Techno89]

Carlos DeLeon accpets his title shot

Sven Ottke will fight Graciano Rocchigiani

[Crease]

Steve Cunningham has really shown himself to be the nemesis of Johnny Nelson. They'll go again. Fight three is on.

[Crease]

Andre Ward calls out champ Steve Collins.

Collins has respect for the former WBA Champion.
But he declines his offer because he is a "blood n' thunder" kinda guy (as evidenced by his last 2 fights against Froch & Benn) - Steve prefers middle-of-the-ring barnstormers were both men go at it like rabid wolverines.
Unfortunately, your American hit-and-not-get-hit style does not appeal to him at this present moment.

Steve thanks for your interest and we may come calling sometime in the near future, but not this week.

[Crease]

Calzaghe would like a shot at the belt against Steve Collins.

Steve has encountered the original IBF Champion before and that bout didn't work out well for him.

However, we do recognize that you gave us a World Title shot back in Week 9, and we will repay that debt (even know we think it's a foolhardy decision) - we are men of honour and we don't break our word.

Collins vs Calzaghe II is on.

Andre would have given Collins more thunder than he'd know what to do with... literally. But anyone willing to take on Calzaghe can't meaningfully be accused of ducking anyone else, so good luck.

Well, after that shameless duck, Roy offers a shot to either Ward or Calzaghe.

Accepted. The first fight was surprisingly (and honestly, probably unrealistically) exciting. Sign it up.

[kevo]

Yeah, RJJ has been an unusually exciting fighter this season. Love to see the stats on KDs in his fights.

Looking forward to another cracker!

[Fist of Legend]

RJJ has been an unusually exciting fighter this season. Love to see the stats on KDs in his fights.

Roy has scored 18 Knockdowns(5 in round 10 is the highest) and has been down 8 times himself. Nigel Been is the only other super middleweight who has more KD's with 22 for and 10 against.

Frankie Liles has been down 12 times and has scored only 3 knockdowns against his opponents. Thomas Hearns has tasted the canvas one time more than Liles making him the leader of the category with 13

Sven Ottke has never been down.

Eubank hasn't scored a knockdown and hasn't been down yet.

That'll change soon. Froch wants revenge

Best of luck sir. Stranger things have happened in the Sim and Collins pulled one out the fire last fight.

no problem Kevo


so moving forward, my guys will fight cpu's(Tosrten May and Markus Beyer), GBP's guys are booked in series with Dale Brown and Victor Cordoba so that just leaves BoxBully, Tomasino and Steve Doc that need to confirm matchups.

I will give them a couple days to set something up and in the mean time I will run the other fights.

Collins vs Calzaghe II is on.

Nothing like locking Liles out of a title whilst he transcends them both.

Ah well, GBP is used to crass, gross, bias, unfair, and unlawful treatment. Since that's that he himself dishes out to every opponent that steps in the ring with him. He should probably expect no less from corrupt officials.


Baek In Chul will face the fury of Liles in the wake of this snubbing.

Dominguez wants a shot at the WTF and once denied that will face Wamba Anaclet

Dominguez wants a shot at the WTF

The WTF Title Match is mine as the title was vacant this week, and Huck being ranked 11 got the shot against #12 ranked Al Cole.
