[armageto]

Managed fighters wise, not sure who is among us after the last few weeks. My guys are still here:

Sugar Ray Robinson is interested in a title shot from Ketchel. No need to respond asap, since you're a new champ and probably want to look over options. If no title shot happens, would like to face a top 15 guy.

Roberto Duran has to defend his 154 pound strap. If anyone from 16-4 is interested, please let me know.

Freddie Steele is debating on options.

[armageto]

Since Ketchel won the main belts, he gives up the MGM Grand belt. Mayweather (#16) and McCallum (#17) would be the next two guys in line, if they accept.

[armageto]

I'm assuming, managers we have left that are active:

Armageto
Boxbuzz
gilgamesh
HyacinthusTurnipsee
P4P
Techno89
Crease
Fist of Legend

[gilgamesh]

Tommy Ryan challenges Stanley Ketchel for a title shot as well.

Barring that he'll take on Julio Cesar Vazquez and one up Floyd Mayweather...he'd also take on Mayweather possibly if Buzz is interested, but we wanna hear what the Champ Ketchel has to say first as obviously that's the biggest of all 3 possibilities.
------
Harry Greb has avenged 3 of his 4 losses this season. The only one he hasn't avenged is Archie Moore. We want a 3rd crack at Archie Moore this week! What say you Archie? We'll name a CPU opponent if we must, but Archie's an old time fighting man, I think he'll be game.
------
Nino Benvenuti needs to get himself back together with a steady run of wins. He'll start this week with K.J. Noons

[p4p1]

Leonard is screaming for a title fight.

It's about time Leonard got his shot. He's been asking since he lost his titles for a shot at redemption but has been denied again and again.

Moore Accepts

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Robinson is #1 and Ketchel probably needs a little validation for his claim at greatness so that's the fight we are going to take.

But also, just to make things a little more interesting, we have decided to vacate the WBC TITLE for everyone else to fight over. Seems a fair compromise to me.

Willing to listen to offers for Holman and Tommy Hearns.

Thanks for the shot sir. First fight was pretty good, as I expect this one to be.

With the WBC Title being vacated, I guess we'll just do it by ranking order. Harry Greb vs. Ray Leonard should be available for the belt, if both accept?

[armageto]

Freddie Steele will take on Dmitry Pirog


If anybody is interested in the 154 strap, rated 16-40, Duran is listening to offers.

Oh what cruel irony...a belt is vacated, Greb's name gets called, and he's already lined up for a fight. Moore was a man enough to accept my challenge, wouldn't be the honorable thing to back out on him now, and though we may be outlandish sometimes let it never be said that the BrainTrust lacks Honor.

I'm afraid you'll have to give the shot to whoever's next in line. Greb will fight Moore.

Greb wants the REAL Title anyway. Not some paper vacated title.

[armageto]

Ray Leonard vs Mickey Walker is next up for the WBC Title.

[Fist of Legend]

Mickey accepts the WBC title shot vs Leonard, its a loss he'd like to avenge anyway.

McCallum on the other hand has already beaten Mayweather and wants to hopefully fight someone higher in the rankings.

Since Ketchel is gonna be fighting Ray Robinson, and the other 2 fights I'd mentioned for Tommy were less interesting options. I'd entertain the idea of Tommy Ryan vs McCallum is you're interested. Those two haven't crossed paths yet this season.

[p4p1]

Leonard accepts his shot.

[gilgamesh]

Tommy Ryan will go through with his fight with Julio Cesar Vazquez since my other 2 offers have gone ignored.

[Crease]

If anybody is interested in the 154 strap, rated 16-40, Duran is listening to offers.

Julian Jackson (rated 23rd) is interested in fighting Roberto.
They fought way back in week 13, Jackson won by Majority Decision - here is your chance to avenge that blemish.

[Crease]

In homage to the great Jake LaMotta who left us recently, his sim doppelganger will fight for the CPU Championship this week.

[Crease]

I'm assuming, managers we have left that are active:
Armageto
Boxbuzz
gilgamesh
HyacinthusTurnipsee
P4P
Techno89
Crease
Fist of Legend

Yea sadly enough, we are down to eight of us who stay actively involved in the Sim.

[Crease]

I hereby drop Nonpareil Jack Dempsey and recruit Marvin Hagler to my stable.

[Crease]

Although Marvin has now signed a contract with Don Krease Promotions, he will defend his CPU belt against Jake LaMotta this week & regardless of the result, he will not be defending it from next week onward.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Holman is willing to take an MGM Title fight against either of BoxBuzz' guys or anyone else. Likely to give him another light week otherwise.

I'll start Hearns off by getting stable revenge against Pernell Whitaker this week unless someone has an interesting offer.

[Crease]

It's a go for the Jackson/Duran rematch.

Fight sanctioned and signed.

This works for Mayweather
