Greb will face Eric Crumble this week.

Out of curiosity, will Greb be the #1 contender for the WBA title if he wins this week?

If i can't find Eric in the inventory, I promise to deliver a fighter with that delectable "0" Not in undefeated, but as in ratings....which by the way go from 0 to 13.

Ahh, Well we will take that in Week 12...as we see your overtrained fighter zapped the lights out of OT Conn

Assuming that Greb rightfully gets his shot at the WBA title next week, does Spinks still want to vacate the WBO title?

Happy to take on Stipe Dews.

Maybe keep spinks even if he stinks......I heard he ran when he thought he was going to have to face Rosenbloom but that ship sailed....he's going to have to face an overtrained opponent if he can find a managed fighter to face him. And that sort of evens things up for the shy fella.

As I said above, The WBO is happy for Spinks to have a non-title fight this week.

Hopefully Kevo will check in with you on that.

Either over train every fighter this week or none of them.
Except the Moore/Charles fight. Both guys should come on normal. If Charles wins a close one, Moore can put it on the training. Even then out, let the best man win, and move on from the week 10 incident.

There is no perfect solution. No matter what decision was made, someone was going to be displeased... It was an oddity, hopefully never to be repeated all we can do is move forward with renewed vigour and hope for the future.

Moore ended up beating Charles anyhow. After their 3 fight trilogy this season, there isn't much doubt who is the better fighter to me.

In the future we will not be changing the laws of physics and all that is holy to placate a manager. Our shared attempt at being the perfect pair of commissioners will be much like leather......it is the flaws that make leather valuable above it's perfect cousin "vinyl". So if we make an error, it will be treated as if a referee or a judge has made an error. We will not punish the entire universe for my or Crease's failings. Though we will attempt to be helpful. and when a manager has a legit issue....which I believe in this case gigamesh did have.....there will be on rare occasion...a "no contest" ruling issued either by one of the three major belts, the WBO or the IBO. so fights in the future may incur wins, losses, draws and "NC"'s . There is no true fix for an "NC" other than what the major stakeholders will agree to. And Sadly there is no way to factor these "NCs" into the point collections.

This was a critical error in a big fight and crease made a decision. We'll need a sense of humor and a bit of forgiveness as we move forward.

It's not the first mistake, and not likely the last....one of Max fights was run twice...and i believe A Sam Langford fight was run twice.....but we did not make everyone suffer to fix the issue. IN Max's case he was held back for a week. In Sam's case he just went forward. And I still don't know for sure how this happened. We are shooting for perfection, but hopefully we can achieve excellence. The true degree of perfection is the achievement of a "good time".

That is the final word on human errors for this season. I'll post this as a stand alone thread as well. The software is unforgiving and can not be persuaded to act as if a fight did not take place. Same in life....thus "NC's" inevitably will happen in the future if such an error happens again.

Also..I think conditioning checks, which have always been a random part of the game will return NEXT SEASON. It's the default for a reason, and poorer fighters have them more often than the better ones. Maybe Ezz was known for being an "eager engager"? lol

Thanks for the info...coming up! He's just Levinsky now...GBP owns the "Battling" name. lol

We know BoxBuzz had something to do with that scandal last week, and we'd like to give his fighters a beating to show him how we feel about it.

If he chooses to turn us down (which he will. That's what cowards do). We'll beat up one of his victims better than he ever did.

Then Fitz will take on Battling Levinsky instead.

That being said, We'd prefer a Buzz managed opponent.

GBP is a conglomerate of talent and skill that observes high standards. At some point we will consider your request.....however currently we are standing quite high.

I'll run the OT Hopkins vs Hill fight....and the OT Spinks vs ???? once Kevo names an opponent. Not sure why anyone would imagine that Rosenbloom was Spinks opponent. Rosenbloom and Bivens are currently slappin' and stompin Johnson's. As was widely advertised.

I don't mind waiting on Kevo to make a Spinks selection for opponent. Other options could be for the WBO head to issue a challenger for Spinks, or just give him an easy opponent for this week.

At the top of page 2, Kevo agreed to your challenge...

Jimmy the "Battler" Bivens is interested...IF it's not too late. HE's been training like a madman. Who would he face?

Just missed it. The fight has been set, Langford vs Conn.

Langford is happy to face Bivens in week 12.

We could not agree to his "proviso". We don't like Proviso's.......not that we have ever seen one...or know what one looks like.



Spinks will need to fight twice, if he want's to be nice. And I don't think he was stripped of the WBO....it's a scandal, but there is no governing body to intervene in this matter. WBO has always had a bit of an odor....thus the "BO" asspect.
