- The fighters in red have already qualified through to the Second Round, congratulations to all of you...

Notice: If 2 fighters are tied on points, it will de decided by their head-to-head record (their previous fight in the MDT).
If that fight was a draw, then a rematch will be sanctioned before next weeks card to decide who goes through.

What happens if DeJesus beats Ross by decision and Lewis beats Shugrue by decision? There'll be three guys on 5 points.

Three-way ties very rarely occur. But in that unlikely event - it will come down to the judges scorecards for their fights.
Whichever fighter has accumulated the most points from their three fights will go through.

But in this case, the 2 guys with the most points clocked up go through.

[Fist of Legend]

Marquez will fight Williams if he still wants the fight.

[BoxBully]

Camacho wants to settle the draw with Ike Williams or fight with JLC or Ad Wolgast or Pedro Carrasco

24 hour countdown!!!

baron_otto - Ike Williams, Diego Corrales
Boxbully - Hector Camacho
BoxBuzz - Jose Luis Castillo
DaveyMac - California Jackie Wilson
Fat Git - Pedro Carrasco, Beau Jack
Fist of Legend - Juan Manuel Marquez
Jpreisser - Ad Wolgast

Outstanding challenges:

Marquez will fight Williams if he still wants the fight.

Camacho wants to settle the draw with Ike Williams or fight with JLC or Ad Wolgast or Pedro Carrasco

[Jpreisser]

Armstrong versus Ortiz. Should be a good one.

Ad Wolgast will fight Richard Abril, unless a suitable human-backed fighter is available.

[DaveyMac]

Armstrong versus Ortiz. Should be a good one.

Ad Wolgast will fight Richard Abril, unless a suitable human-backed fighter is available.

Wolgast can fight Wilson if he wants to do so.

[BoxBuzz]

JLC will face Kenny Lane

JLC's fists will be in his ears and in his eyes.

Not quite as Paul McCartney wrote about...but close enough.

[DaveyMac]

By the way, isn't Jimmy Goodrich a lock to make it also? Even if he loses to De La Hoya, only one of Canzoneri-McFarland can win.

[Fist of Legend]

card will be ran first thing tomorrow, as I am finally making the full move over to my new place and won't have internet for a couple days after.

if the remaining fighters are not matched by the time i get back I will match them the way I see fit.

Good shout.

[Fist of Legend]

ok, so here's the deal, Wolgast said he was willing to fight a suitable human managed opponent and what could be more suitable than being offered a title shot so i'm going to make that fight. Marquez and Williams will fight, Camacho will take on Carrasco as requested, Corrales and Beau Jack will get high level cpu opponents.
