It seemed right, with the Johnson fight ending on a cut, to offer it to your camp. Plus a few fights between the two with not the clearest of outcomes.NazNaci1 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2024, 13:11Tunney accepts, Geto.

It's probably his last shot to win any type of gold, plus Foster gets a chance to avenge a loss. I'm even rooting for Gibbons.....![]()
Loughran will offer the first shot at his two belts to Gene Tunney. Both could use a big win before Super Six voting, plus Loughran just beat his stablemate Johnson, albeit on cuts in a razor close fight at the time of stoppage.
If either of those two should pass on the fights, we'll offer to our second options.

Does Moorer want to tussle with Greb?

Ezzard Charles will offer a title shot to any worthy opponent who wants it, If there's nobody left, he'd like to avenge his loss to Jurgen Braehmer from earlier in the season.
Fitzsimmons will take on anybody that's not booked already, and if nobody wants it, he'll take on Carl Augustine.

Langford will take on Fitz if that is OK with you.gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Jun 2024, 01:14 Ezzard Charles will offer a title shot to any worthy opponent who wants it, If there's nobody left, he'd like to avenge his loss to Jurgen Braehmer from earlier in the season.

I was thinking of throwing Greb or Langford in with Ezzard this week but both those guys are likely to be in the super six and will give Charles the beating off a lifetime then.

Langford vs Fitz sounds like a great bout.

And yes I think Greb vs Charles may as well be saved for the Super Six.

Re: LHW SEASON WEEK 25 MATCHUPS
RJJ and BHop will look to avenge two CPU losses earlier in the campaign with a rematch double header this week, against Mike McCallum & Virgil Hill respectively.

Re: LHW SEASON WEEK 25 MATCHUPS
Is nobody up to challenge Charles this week?!?
Re: LHW SEASON WEEK 25 MATCHUPS
I would, normally, throw Johnson into this...but with Tunney unlikely to make the cut for the Super Six, tossing Johnson into a dangerous fight like this now could potentially, eliminate him too, which would be a shame as he has, for the most part, outdone Gene, which has surprised me.
Johnson will take on Mehdi Sahnoune.
Re: LHW SEASON WEEK 25 MATCHUPS
IMO only the top 5 ranked guys at the moment are almost locks for the super six, from 6-8 it is a pickem IMO. Tunney having the titles now has probably solidified his case and like Langford has overcome a disastrous start to the season with a very strong run of good wins and few losses.NazNaci1 wrote: ↑06 Jun 2024, 16:09I would, normally, throw Johnson into this...but with Tunney unlikely to make the cut for the Super Six, tossing Johnson into a dangerous fight like this now could potentially, eliminate him too, which would be a shame as he has, for the most part, outdone Gene, which has surprised me.

Re: LHW SEASON WEEK 25 MATCHUPS
With Charles locked into the Super Six, Murphy’s law says that Conn will win and the lineal title will not be involved in the final tournament

Re: LHW SEASON WEEK 25 MATCHUPS
Oh dear....I ran this fight.....I didnt' notice the fine print. Hmm....maybe Spinks and Rosenbloom can vie for further glory in 26.....though we have appealed to the WBO for consideration in what we feel is a very odd set of circumstances worthy of deliberation.
