Can't go for a trilogy right now. Besides, Wolgast is 0-2 versus Wilson thus far, so we will pass this week. Thank you though. Instead, Wolgast will take on Arturo Gatti and Armstrong will take on Joe Brown.

California Jackie Wilson offers Pedro Carrasco the final of their trilogy for the title.

If he passes will offer the shot to Hilmer Kenty.

I'm going to match the guys up now.

All of the above fights are signed... I've been told by Fat Git that he wants to uSe Week 20 as a rest period for his fighters, so they have been taken out of contention.

And the final three are:

Barney Ross has shown no interest in fighting Joe Gans, so he will be matched up with Bob Montgomery. Joe Gans will test himself against the ranked Willie Joyce.

Wow, Frilly crapping it has left me with a rubbish bout. I'd have rather had a choice in the matter since I made my call out clear as a bell. I wanted a highly ranked fight or a marking time one...

It's not so bad, Joe Gans is still ranked 10th and with another victory (that you would expect) this week, it enables him to maintain his ranking and challenge again next week.

You've got Ross fighting two guys on pg 1. Is the first one really Gans?

Great save in spotting that. Ross has agreed to fight Whitaker, so that leaves Gans with Montgomery.

POINT OF ORDER....

I thought "setting out a week" was not permissible.

Otherwise Sweet Pea would have been "sitting it out" from the time he became champion. lol

No seriously....I do think that this was stipulated as not an option at the seasons beginning...so CPU's may be mandatory for the Fat Git's boys?

Sounds good to me!

Exciting weeks ahead, should be some good reads in there.
