Can I just say, I am happily surprised (almost shocked) to have two guys in the super six. Being the 3rd last pick, I wasn't sure what to expect from Greb, who regardless of the results in the tournament has performed above my expectations. After such a shaky start I am against pleasantly surprised with how Langford's season turned out. After the first 5-6 weeks, I was sure I had made a mistake with my pick.

I think Archie and Ezz are the two heavy favourites to go finish 1st and 2nd in the tournament but I'm sure some interesting results will be thrown up.

Round 5: (Week 30)
Archie Moore vs Ezzard Charles - ?
Harry Greb vs Sam Langford - ?
Gene Tunney vs Tommy Loughran - ?

Thank You Crease,
I was going to request to have Greb and Langford fight on the very last week.
Also like seeing Moore v Charles up last in a match that could decide the winner of the tournament.

Are all the SS fights 12 rounders?

If it aint a title squabble it's a 10 rounder....unless it's a lineal it's 15.....unless I make a mistake and go to sleep at the wheel.

Which has been known to happen.

For fights of this Prestige I think even the Non Title fights oughta be 12 rounders, but if nobody else agrees, I'll go along with the flow.

well that mean that every time one your prestigious fighters stepped into the ring....it would need to go an extra 2 rounds. And just who's going to pay for the extra costs, insurance, promotion? We'd have to raise ticket prices!

Fosters will pay the extra costs Buzz.
With an extravagant sponsorship deal, we will petition the super six be renamed to the far more glamorous sounding 'Fosters Super Six'

[BoxBuzz]

Hmmm super six....maybe they should be 6 rounders? It has more panache!

Results:

Round 2: (Week 27)
Harry Greb vs Tommy Loughran - Draw

Mr Greb and Mr Loughran have tied for third place - this can be dealt with two ways:

1. Both men can share the accolade and we will cut the Bronze Medal in half equally for both of them to receive a piece of it... No problem at all.

2. OR - if both men are willing and daring enough - a rematch, 15 rounder to decide matters, but this will only be done if both men agree...

The season was meant to be 30 weeks, let it be 30 weeks. Loughran ended his season on a nice win vs Tunney and is satisfied with what he did in the SS. If it was first, even second, I'd say run a rematch. Third, we are both technical losers anyhow...

I'm good with the shared third. We can get onto what division and when to start the next season.

I say we take the olympics lead and go with shared bronzes.

[armageto]

Sharing is caring, as they say...

Let's plan out the new season after the Charles/Moore fight. Looking forward to hopefully building on this season's success.

[Crease]

Congratulations to both of you then...

[Crease]

And our New King - is King Charles

[gilgamesh]

Ezzard Charles releases the following statement.

"Thanks to all my fans. I just wanna tip my hat to Archie Moore who always made me have to dig deep and find the best within myself, and I wanna say I couldn't have done it without the help of the greatest manager a fighter could ever ask for. Bobby the Brain"

And I just wanna say, it's been my honor to have him in my stable.
