Ali vs Louis (Ali won 1st fight MD12)

Foreman vs Frazier (Foreman won 1st fight by TKO4)
Lewis vs Marciano (Lewis won 1st fight by MD12)

Remember, this is a premier league style event and not a knockout competition. Once all fighters have fought each other twice the tournament is over and the fighter with the most points is the ultimate champion! Fights are 12 rounds, not 15, and fighters use 10 ounce gloves (not that I think that would make a real difference to any of the fights). For those who didn't read the first topic, these are 7 of my top 8 all-time heavies, I rate Tyson 12th from memory, but I found him just too interesting a fighter to leave out. The points system is as such:
KO win = 100 points
TKO win = 100 points
UD win = 90 points
MD win = 75 points
SD win = 60 points
Draw = 50 points
SD loss = 40 points
MD loss = 25 points
UD loss = 10 points
TKO loss = 0 points
KO loss = 0 points

Ali vs Louis (Ali won 1st fight MD12)
Holmes vs Tyson (Holmes won 1st fight by TKO11)
Foreman vs Frazier (Foreman won 1st fight by TKO4)
Lewis vs Marciano (Lewis won 1st fight by MD12)

Louis KO 11 Ali. Louis able to land furious shots in the 11th to drop Ali after chasing him down.

Tyson TKO 9 Holmes, sorry in advance for my pick of Iron Mike here but he has gotten no love. He isnt the greatest fighter on this list but he is better than 1-12.

Foreman KO 3 Fraizer, no need to explain.

Marciano KO 7 Lewis. If Rahamn and Mcall can KO him, than Lewis would fall from Marcianos unrelenting shots.

this is a no nonsense post here, all with KOs!

Ali vs Louis, Louis UD 12. Let's pick the upset in a pick'em.
Holmes vs Tyson - Holmes KO 10. I can't see Tyson bullying a prime Holmes around, and in the later rounds it ought to be all Holmes.
Foreman vs Frazier - Foreman KO5. Big George had Frazier's number
Lewis vs Marciano - Lewis UD 12, Lewis ultracautious and relying on his jab and enormous reach advantage.

Btw, if I understand the scoring system correctly the final rankings seem already determined, EXCEPT that Louis can still catch Ali with a MD and overtake him with a UD.

Ali KO 11 Louis
Holmes WUD 12 Tyson
Foreman KO 5 Frazier
Lewis KO 2 Marciano

Ali SD 12 over Louis....Did he earn it? Or did he "influence the judges" with his antics? The controversy rages. The old school is not impressed.

Holmes UD over Tyson Holmes takes Tyson to school after being in trouble in the early rounds

Foreman over Frazier TKO 5 Why? cuz thats what happened twice who am I to mess with reality?


Lewis SD over Marciano, This time Lewis treats the Rock like he is the Tuaman and gets away with it but just barely.

(Hey I gotta let the Rock lose once in a while in the theoreticals, cuz it's the only place the guy CAN lose.)

bump

One day to go until the tournament is over!
