IN ADDITION TO THE RESULTS JUST POSTED ABOVE ID LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT EVERYONE EXCEPT BIGCHEESE PROMOTIONS HAVE REPLIED TO SAY THERE STILL GONNA BE INVOLVED . THIS EFFECTS ANTONIO DI BAGGIO AND ALBERT IVEY , BOTH IN THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION , BIG CHEESE HAS UNTIL THE TOURNAMENTS ARE ALL COMPLETE TO CONFIRM THEY ARE STILL INVOLVED OTHERWISE THEY WILL JUST BECOME COMPUTER CONTROLLED FIGHTERS , ILL PM BIG CHEESE TOO .

Dappa gave it a good go, just wasnt good enough at world level. He still wants the the british title and he is willing to fight anyone to get the lonsdale belt around hes waist.

Sorry guys the representatives of BigCheese promotions have been taking in the bright lights of vegas for the last week so not been able to get on.

Back and raring to go with all my fighters. Di Baggio & Ivey my two heavies and the other guy I got hold off just before the break. Cant remember who he is. Some promoter eh??

GAME ON!!

If only Carter could hold a punch better. He was matching the Euro champ but let himself down in getting KO'd. Anyway, only a matter of time before he establishes himself on the domestic scene and hopefully moves up to world level. Millarvie and Valuev are both in the quarters and Carter more than held his own against both of them.

QUATER FINALS OF HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNY

THE BOUTS FROM NOW ON IN THE TOURNY ARE 12 ROUNDS WITH THE FINAL BEING 15 , THE FIRST 12 ROUNDER IS LAMON BREWSTER VS OWEN BECK , BOTH MEN HAVE HAD GOOD RESULTS PREVIOUSLY IN THE COMPETITION SO BOTH WILL BELIEVE THEY CAN WIN IT NOW , THE FIGHT ITSELF THOUGH WAS FAIRLY ONE SIDED , OWEN BECK FOUND HIMSELF ONLY ON THE CANVAS ONCE , IN THE 4TH , BUT JUST DIDNT HAVE THAT EXTRA GEAR TO MAKE BREWSTER WORK AS THE JAMAICAN LOST CONVINCINGLY ON POINTS MAKING BREWSTER THE FIRST MAN TO REACH THE SEMI FINALS .

TONY THOMPSON WON EVERY ROUND AS HE EARNED A SIMPLE WIN AGAINST HIS HUNGARIAN OPPONENT ZOLTAN PETRANYI

CONTOVERSY IN THE 3RD QUATER FINAL , SHUMENOV HAD BEEN KNOCKED DOWN IN THE 8TH FOR WHAT APPEARED TO BE A LOW BLOW BUT WHEN CHAGAEV TRIED THE SAME TACTIC IN ROUND 12 THE REF GAVE A DQ , WHY AN IMMEDIATE DQ ? SURELY THAT MEANT HE SAW THE FIRST ONE , IF SO WHY SCORE IT A KNOCKDOWN , EITHER WAY SHUMENOV IS THE MAN THAT GOES INTO THE SEMIES.

THE GIANT WAS ALMOST SLAYED , VALUEV WAS DOWN TWICE IN THE FIRST ROUND BUT GOT UP AND KNOCKED DOWN MILLARVIE IN ROUND 2 BEFORE KNOCKING HIM OUT IN THE 3RD

LAST 16 FIGHTS TO COME NEXT IN DETAIL LIKE WHEN WE HAD OUR FIGHTERS RESULTS .

LAST 16

THEF FIRST BOUT OF THE LAST 16 ROUND IS ANTONIO TARVER 45-7-2(34) AS HE FACES GIACOBBE FRAGOMENI 41-6-0(13) FOR A PLACE IN THE QUATER FINALS OF THE CRUISERWEIGHT SECTION OF THE TOURNAMENT , SOME PEOPLE ARE EAGER FOR THE HEAVIES TO START BUT ALL THE OTHER WEIGHTS ARE SHEDULED TO RUN FIRST AND OUTSIDE THE HEAVIES TARVER IS ONE OF THE BIGGER ATTRACTIONS , THE AMERICAN THOUGH WAS FOUND ON THE CANVASS AS EARLY AS THE FIRST ROUND , TARVER PICKED UP THOUGH AND HAD A VERY DOMINANT ROUND IN THE 3RD BUT IT WAS THE 8TH THAT SAW GOOD PROGRESS AS HE KNOCKED DOWN HIS OPPONENT TWICE IN THE ROUND AND HE HAD TO HOLD ON TO SURVIVE , THE REF COULDNT HAVE BEEN CRITICISED IF HE HAD STEPPED IN THERE , THE FOLLOWING ROUND THOUGH WAS EQUALLY ONE SIDED AND AGAIN SAW TWO KNOCKDOWNS BUT THIS TIME FRAGOMENI FAILED TO GET UP FROM THE SECOND . TARVER MARCHED INTO THE QUATER FINALS WITH A GOOD KNOCKOUT WIN .

THE NEXT BOUT OF THE ROUND SAW KRAJ 28-5-0(18) HAVE A DIFFICULT MATCH AGAINST THE EXECUTIONER BERNARD HOPKINS 56-8-1(34) , THE BOUT ITSELF THOUGH WAS A CLOSE AFFAIR BUT KRAJ DID SUFFER CUT IN ROUND 1 THAT WAS RE OPENED IN THE 10TH TOO , BUT IT WENT TO SCORECARDS , WHO SCORED IT 95-94 , 96-94 , 95-93 ALL IN FAVOUR OF THE SURPRISE WINNER RUDOLF KRAJ

THE ONE EXPECTED TO BOUT OF THE ROUND IS WLODARCZYK 51-8-1(39) VS CHAD DAWSON 50-1-1(29) , DAWSON THOUGH WASTED NO TIME AS LAUNCHED A BLISTERING ATTACK AT THE PLOE FROM THE OFF AND HAD WLODARCZYK HANGING ON AS THE BELL ENDED THE ROUND , AS THE FIGHT WENT INTO ROUND 6 THOUGH WLODARCZYK HAD GOT BACK INTO THE FIGHT AND IT LOOKED ABOUT LEVEL BUT HE THEN HAD TO PICK HIMSELF UP FROM THE FLOOR WHEN DAWSON DROPPED HIM WITH A SOLID LEFT UPPERCUT , IN RESPONSE THOUGH DAWSON HIMSELF WAS KNOCKED DOWN IN ROUND 7 , AND ALTHOUGH HE GOT UP QUICKLY HE LOOKED A LITTLE GROGGY . THE JUDGES THOUGH WERE EVENTUALLY CALLED INTO ACTION AS IT WENT THE DISTANCE BUT NO ONE COLD PREDICT WHAT WAS GOING TO BE SCORED IT WAS SO CLOSE , 96-92 TO DAWSON AND 94-94 , 94-94 , WHICH WOULD NORMALLY MEAN A MAJORITY DRAW , BUT FOR THE PURPOSES OF TOURNAMENT BOXING WOULD MEAN THAT DAWSON MANAGED TO GT INTO THE QUATER FINALS AS NE OF THE JUDGES FAVOURED HIM , DRAWS ARE QUITE UNHELPFUL IN TOURNAMENTS .

MICHAEL MOORER MANAGED A SPLIT DECISION WIN AGAINST POLISH PAWEL KOLODZIEJ IN A DULL BOUT , NEITHER FIGHTER WANTED TO COMMIT AND RISK DEFEAT BEFORE THEY FACE THE TOP FIGHTERS , AS THE FIGHT WENT ON THEY BECAME MORE AND MORE NEGATIVE TO AN EXTENT THAT ONE FAN SUMMED IT UP AT THE END BY SAYING I WISH THEY COULD HAVE BOTH LOST .

CANTATORE TOOK A SEVERE HAMMERING FROM WAYNE BRAITHWAITE AS THE ITALIAN HIT THE FLOOR 3 TIMES INSIDE THE FIRST ROUND , BRAITHWAITE LOOKED GOOD IN THIS FIGHT AND MAY NOW BE A THREAT TO WIN THE TITLE.

JOHNATHON BANKS LOOKED DEVATATINGLY STRONG VERSUS DALE BROWN , BROWN WENT DOWN IN RD 6 AND DID WELL TO HANG ON AND THEN THE SAME WAS REPEATED IN ROUND 7 , THE REF THOUGH STEPPED IN DURING THE 8TH WHEN YET AGAIN BROWN WAS TAKING A SEVER PUMMELLING .

BILLY JONES GAVE A TREMENDOUSLY BRAVE PERFORMANCE AGAINST WORLD LEVEL OPERATOR JEAN MARC MORMECK , JONES THOUGH SEEMED TO SUFFER A CASE OF BAD JAW ITIS AS HE WENT DOWN 5 TIMES DURING THE FIGHT BUT HAD THE CORAGE TO KEEP COMING BACK AT THE FRENCHMAN RIGHT UP UNTIL THE FINAL KNOCK DOWN IN ROUND 10 IN WHICH HE JUST COULDNT REGAIN HIS FEET , IT WAS ONLY REALLY A STIFF JAB BUT THE TOLL HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM THE OTHER KNOCKDOWNS . JONES WILL BE ABLE TO BOW OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT PROUDLY , HE HAS DONE WELL ENOUGH BUT NOT OVERLY WELL MEANING HE WILL GET ANOTHER CRACK AT THE TITLE NO DOUBT ONE DAY , THE TOP GUYS WILL SEE HIM AS COMPETITIVE BUT NOT GOT THE CHIN . HE MIGHT BE THE TYPE OF FIGHTER THAT NEVER BECOMES A GREAT BUT COULD STILL BECOME A FRANK BRUNO TYPE CHARACTER AMONGST HIS FAITHFUL FANS

ERIC FIELDS UPSET THE ODDS HERE AS HE MARCHED INTO THE TOURNAMENT QUATER FINAL WITH A STUNNING 2ND ROUND KO OF HOTLY FANCIED BJ FLORES , FLORES HAD PREVIOULSY STATED HE AIMED TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT TO BE DECLARED THE TOP CRUISER AND THEN MOVE UP TO HEAVY SO WHAT NEXT FOR HIM NOW .

THE QUATER FINALS

THE FIRST QUATER FINAL ENDED RATHER DISSAPOINTINGLY , WITH TARVER GETTING THE NOD ON CUTS IN ROUND 5

THE NEXT BOUT WAS CHAD DAWSON VERSUS MICHAEL MOORER , DAWSON IS FAVOURITE BY MOOORER CAN DEFINATELY POSE PROBLEMS .
MOORER THOUGH FOUND HIMSELF LOSING THE FIRST 2 ROUNDS AND THEN BEING KNOCKED DOWN IN ROUNDS 4 AND 5 TO PUT HIM WELL BEHIND BUT ENDED UP ON MOST PEOPLES CARDS WINNING EVERYROUND AFTER , BUT IT WASNT ENOUGH AS DAWSON WENT THROUGH TO FACE TARVER IN THE SEMI FINALS , WINNING BY MAJORITY DECISION .

WAYNE BRAITHWAITE HAD TO PICK HIMSELF UP FROM THE CANVAS ON TWO OCCASIONS TO COMEBACK AND WIN VIA A STOPPAGE IN THE 8TH AGAINST JOHNATHAN BANKS

THE FINAL QUATER FINAL WAS MORMECK VS ERIC FIELDS AND THE BOUT FAILED TO PRODUCE A KNOCKDOWN , IT WAS A VERY CLOSE AFFAIR WITH THE TV PANEL SCORING IT A DRAW , WHEN IT CAME TO THE REAL JUDGES IT WAS SCORED A MOJORITY DRAW BUT AS HAS HAPPPENNED PREVIOULSY IN THIS TOURNY THERE MUST BE A WINNER , 2 SCORED IT LEVEL BUT ONE JUDGE SCORED IT 98-92 TO MORMECK , A SCORE THAT STUNNED THE CROWD AS THERE WAS NO WAY IT WAS THAT WIDE , BUT REGARDLESS IT WAS ENOUGH TO PUT MORMECK INTO A SMI FINAL AGAINST BRAITHWAITE .

SEMI FINAL

THE FIRST SEMI WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A CLOSE AFFAIR WITH MAYBE DAWSON AS SLIGHT FAVOURITE , DAWSON THOUGH RACED INTO AN EARLY LEAD CLEARLY WINNING THE FIRST 3 ROUNDS , TARVER FOUGHT BACK THOUGH BY CLEARLY WINNING THE NEXT 4 TO GO IN FRONT BUT THEN DAWSON TURNED ON THE STYLE IN THE 8TH AND FORCED THE REF TO STOP THE FIGHT BY COMPLETEY HAMMERING , VETERAN TARVER . DAWSON IS IN THE FINAL

WHAT A CRACKER OF A FIGHT WE HAD HERE , IT STARTED WITH MORMECK BEING COMPLETELY DOMINANT IN RD 1 , THE REF MUST HAVE CONSIDERED STOPING IT BUT GAVE BRAITHWAITE THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT , GOOD JOB TOO COS IN ROUND 2 FORTUNES WERE REVERSED , MORMECK WAS KNOCKED DOWN ERALY IN THE ROUND AND WAS LEFT HANGING ON FOR THE ROUND AND AGAIN THE REF PROBABLY CONSIDERED STOPPING IT BUT MORMECK WAS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE , BRAITHWAITE APPEARED TO SCRAPE THE 3RD TO0 AND THEN IN 4TH IT WAS A REPEAT OF THE 2ND WITH MORMECK GOING DOWN THEN HANGING ON , ROUND 5 THOUGH SAW MORMECK COME BACK AND DROP ONE ON THE JAW OF BRAITHWAITE TO SEND HIM CRASHING TO THE CANVASS , BRAITHWAITE HUNG ON TILL THE END OF THE ROUND , ROUND 6 WAS THE ROUND IT ENDED THOUGH , IN DEVASTATING FASHION , AS BRAITHWAITE LANDED A HEAVY HOOK ONTO MORMECKS TEMPLE , AND IT WAS OVER , THE REF NEVER BOTHEED TO COUNT , MORMECK WAS OUT COLD . BRAITHWAITE WILL GO ON TO FACE DAWSON IN THE FINAL

THE FINAL

THE FINAL WAS NEVER REALLY A CONTEST IN THE END AS DAWSON WON ALMOST EVERY ROUND AS HE DOMINATED FROM START TO FINISH , MAYBE BRAITHWAITES LAST FIGHT HAD TAKEN ITS TOLL ON THE VETERAN FIGHTER , BUT CHAD DAWSON IS NOW THE UNDISPUTED CRUISERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION

HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT SEMI FINALS

NICOLAY VALUEV VS LAMON BREWSTER

BREWSTER FLEW OUT OF THE BLOCKS HERE LANDING SEVERAL BIG SHOTS BUT VALUEVS CHIN HELD UP WELL AS HE NEVER SEEMED AT ALL HURT , THIS MUST REALLY HAVE HURT BREWSTERS CONFIDENCE AS HE NEVER WON ANOTHER ROUND , VALUEV GOT MORE AND MORE DOMINANT AS THE FIGHT WENT ON AND EVENTUALLY FORCED A STOPPAGE IN THE 11TH , VALUEV WILL TAKE HIS PLACE IN THE FINAL , WHEREAS BREWSTER WILL TAKE PART IN THE BRONZE MEDAL PLAY OFF.


TONY THOMPSON VS BEIBUT SHUMENOV

SHUMENOV GOT OFF TO A SOLID START , WINNING THE FIRST 4 ROUNDS WITH EASE , THOMPSON THEN BEGAN COMING BACK INTO THE FIGHT BUT WAS KNOCKED DOWN IN THE 7TH WHICH MAY HAVE HAPMERED HIM A LITTLE BUT HE KEPT PLUGGING ON AND WAS CERTAINLY COMPETITIVE AND MANAGED TO SCORE A 10TH ROUND KNOCKDOWN BT THAT WAS THE WAKE UP CALL SHUMENOV NEEDED AS HE TURNED ON THE STYLE IN ROUND 11 AND STORMED TO A TKO WIN , ONCE HE STEPPED UP A GEAR HE SHOWED WHAT HE WAS CAPABLE OF AND WILL BE A LIKELY FAVOURITE FOR THE FINAL .


BRONZE PLAY OFF

LAMON BREWSTER WAS LOOKING IN CONTROL AND WAS FOUR ROUNDS TO THE GOOD WHEN HE WAS ABRUPTLY KNOCKED OUT BY TONY THOMPSON IN ROUND 9


THE FINAL

NICOLAY VALUEV VS BEIBUT SHUMENOV -

THE FIGHT ITSELF WAS NEVER GOING TO BE EXPLOSIVE BUT WAS INTRIGUING NONE THE LESS , WHO WAS GOING TO BE CROWNED THE UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP ?
VALUEV MADE THE EARLY OFFENCE COUNT AS HE APPEARED TO BE TAKING A SOLID LEAD ACCORDING TO THE RING SIDE EXPERTS , SHUMENOV MANAGED TO GRAB A ROUND BEFORE VALUEV SEEMED TO AGAIN TAKE CONTROL , THIS PATTERN BASICALLY CONTINUED FOR THE ENTIRE FIGHT WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE SHUMENOV JUST NICKING THE ODD ROUND , SO WHEN THE JUDGES ANNOUNCED THE SCORES IT WAS EXPECTED TO BE A COMFORTABLE WIN FOR THE NEW CHAMP VALUEV ,BUT JUDGE ONE SCORED IT 145-143 IN FAVOUR OF SHUMENOV , ???? NOW THAT WAS A SURPRISE , ON FURTHER INSPECTION HE FOR SOMEREASON GAVE THE FIRST FOUR ROUNDS TO SHUMENOV DESPITE IT SEEMING AS THOUGH VALUEV HAD WON THEM EASY , JUDGE 2 SCORE IT THE SAME BUT IN FAVOUR OF VALUEV AND JUDGE 3 SCORED IT .............. 144-144 ---- A DRAW , AT LEAST HE ONLY GAVE THE FIRST ROUND TO SHUMENOV RATHER THAN THE FIRST 4 BUT THIS WAS REAL CONTROVERSY AND NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS TOURNAMENT IT WAS A FIGHT INVOLVING VALUEV .
RUMOURS OF BRIBERY ETC ARE ABOUND , SOME PEOPLE SAY ITS JUST OF COURSE OBVIOUS THAT A REMATCH SHOULD BE CALLED BUT VALUEV SAYS IT WAS SO MUCH OF AN OBVIUOS RIGGING THAT THERES NO WAY HE WOULD AGREE TO A REMATCH , SHUMENOV THEN COUNTERED THAT HE SHOULD THERFOR JUST BE DECLARED CHAMPION BUT VALUEVS LAWYERS HAVE ARGUED THAT THERES NO WAY THERE COULD BE GUARANTEES OF THE SAME THING NOT HAPPENING , PEOPLE SAID WHY NOT HOLD IT IN A NEUTRAL COUNTRY , VALUEV HIMSELF WANTED THE TOUNAMENT RE STARTED AT THE QUATER FINAL STAGE WITH HIMSELF HAVING A BYE TO THE SEMI FINAL IN PLACE OF SHUMENOV WHO HE WANTED BAND FROM , ENTERING , IT ALL IS GETTING CRAZY AND IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE COMPETITION DESIGNED TO FIND THE MAIN CHAMP . ONE POSSIBLITY IS TO JUST MAKE THIS NEW SUPPOSED SUPER BELT ANOTHER PART OF THE ALPHABET BELTS , ONE THAT THE OTHER BODIES SEEM TO AGREE TO . AT THE MOMENT THOUGH NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TO DO SO THEY HAVE DECIDED TO LET THE GOOD PEOPLE OF BOXREC DISCUSS THE SITUATION TO SEE IF ANYONE COMES UP WITH A GOOD IDEA ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION , IF NOT IT WILL BECOME ALL SILLY AND NO DOUBT JUST ADD ANOTHER BELT TO THE LIST OF ENDLESS BELTS , IT WOULD NO DOUBT BE CONSIDERED A GOOD QUALITY TITLE TO HOLD BUT STILL IT WONT BE CONSIDERED AS UNDISPUTED AS THE VERY FIRST HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT FOR THIS BELT ENDED IN DISPUTE .

Re-match of the final topping the bill of a player controlled prizefighter with the winner getting a shot at the new undisputed champion.

Let the two fight again.
Then we can get back to the usual game.

IF YOU READ CORRECTLY , THE WAY THE STORY GOES THEYRE UNLIKELY TO FIGHT .

Sorry mate, I am not really interested in a game with a big make-believe storyline etc. I will leave that to world of warcraft players. So in the words of Duncan Bannatyne, "I'm out".

Cheers for taking the time to do this

Yeah mate it started really good but then fights didnt go as planned and you started this tournys which is a little bit silly, so i think im out aswell mate.
Thanks for game though it was good while it lasted.

well if all you wanted was a list of results its all pretty pointless then .
so i guess that makes it time to retire the game .

Dont get me wrong, i liked the game the way it use to be. It was good but then we had the break and now the tourny it just dont seem to be getting back to the way it was.
I dont want to sound ungrateful i appreciate what you have done.
I also think that you wasnt that intrested in it anymore.

Yeah,it was good whilst it lasted and i also think that you have lost intrest it now but no harm done,i did enjoy it.

Thanks.
