The Z's come along to take on my mighty W's in the tournament grand finale. It's a tough one to score, a real pick em match to crown the undisputed ABC champions and we're moving on without anyone scoring it?

HW - Wills Vs Frazier
LHW - Ward vs Ezzard
MW - Walker vs Monzon
WW - Whittaker vs Zivic
LW - Williams vs Ortiz

Myself and Cutman scabbers are exempt from scoring our own teams.

Sorry about that...

Ok Im having another go at this. It's really tough though - so many close to call.

Right - I'm actualyl going Wills to beat Frazier - It's crazy but I I think Wills has the pure boxing ability to get a decision - Wills Pts15
Ward vs Ezzard - I'm going Charles - hes the greatest lt heavy ever and Ward still hard to rank Charles Pts15
Monzon would beat Walker I reckon - on pts again
Whittaker would outpoint zivic no problem

So its 2-2 going into the Williams vs Ortiz match. I could easily score this a draw - could see either man winning but I'm going for the chilling power of Ike to tip the scales in his favour - another decision.

For the me the Willy Wonkers are the champs!!!!

I've always been a Willy Wonka fan, so it's easy to tip my hat in defeat.

Thank you cfang, for scoring!

Just one question: would the results have been different if the Z-TRAIN had
Tony Canzoneri fighting for them at Lightweight instead of Carlos Ortiz?

I'm personally questioning the decision to allow fighter whose name doesn't START with Z

I thought dispensation was only given for X's.
I reckon you should have been made to scour the rankings, as I did for U.

Then the final result would have been an undiputed win for the W's :TU:

To be honest Cfang wasn't unbiased, he chose the team name and agreed with the selection of 4 of 5 of my picks for W.
Technically he should have been exempt from scoring too.


I'm taking this far too seriosuly now, aren't I? :stop:

Let's do it all again at the lighter weights!

Also, this time, in addition to the team name, please designate
a team captain. When your team captain wins, he gets 2x points.

ACES FIVE

Super Feather -- Alexis Arguello
Feather -- Abe Attell
Bantam -- Paulie Ayala
Fly -- Yuri Arbachakov (CAPTAIN)
Light Fly -- Jorge Arce

Lol true I was a trifle unbiased. then again, my big soft spot was for Team C. They really punched above their weight for a while until the L's came along.

Wills was plodding compared to Frazier. No way he outboxes him.

Rules.

1. First results are final.

Wills wins dude, you're opinion is invalid (the fact that you happened to argue against my fighter had no bearing on me posting this!)

It doesn't matter now but the Z team shouldn't have been allowed to have Monzon and Frazier anyway - X was allowed the leeway as you really couldn't make a team with that letter without anything other than obscure Spaniards. You can make a team with Z that's better than E, I, U or V at least with Tony Zale, Fritzie Zivic and Orlando Zulueta plus two also-rans.
