Though I think we should work a few weeks out in advance at least, if that's OK. I'll get on fightnews and make some suggestions
What on earth is going on? There's about 2 months worth of fights on one night then nearly nothing :: Nov 12 Pac-JMM Nov 26 Aydin-Ion (rematch)?? Last one seems hardly worth doing. <table align="center"><tbody><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td class="c"> </td><td align="right"> </td><td class="rsc"> </td><td> </td><td class="c"> </td></tr></tbody></table>
Kessler-Steiglitz was scrapped a long time ago. Kessler pulled out due to injury I'll come up with some more entries for the rest of the month. Just wanted to get these in for this week at least, since it's already mid-week.
Some considerations for the rest of the month: November 11: Austin Trout v. Frank LoPorto - 12 rds for Trouts 154 lb. title (SHOWTIME) November 12: Manny Pacquiao v. Juan Manuel Marquez - 12 rds, 144 lb catchweight for Pac's welterweight title (HBO PPV) Mike Alvarado v. Breidis Prescott - 10 rds, 140 lb (HBO PPV) Tim Bradley v. Joel Casamayor - 12 rds, 140 lb. (HBO PPV) Luis Cruz v. Juan Carlos Burgos - 12 rds, 130 lb (HBO PPV) Tyson Fury v. Neven Pajkic - 12 rds, heavyweight November 18: Antonio Pitalua v. Cosme Rivera - 12 rds, welterweight rematch (Telemundo) November 19: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr v. Peter Manfredo - 12 rds for JCC's middleweight belt (HBO) Frans Botha v. Michael Grant - 12 rds, heavyweight (just for laughs) November 23: Thomas Oosthuizen v. Francisco Sierra - 12 rds, super middleweight November 25: Anthony Crolla v. Willie Limond - 12 rds, 140 lb. (Boxnation?) Silvio Branco v. Giacobe Fragemoni - 12 rds, cruiserweight November 26: Adrien Broner v. Vicente Rodriguez - 12 rds for vacant 130 lb. belt (HBO) Saul Alvarez v. Kermit Cintron - 12 rds for Alvarez' 154 lb title (HBO) Selcuk Aydin v. Jo Jo Dan - 12 rds rematch for Aydin's welterweight belt November 30: Krysztof Wlodarczyk v. Danny Green - 12 rds for Wlodarczyk's cruiserweight title Chris John v. Stanyslav Merdov - 12 rds for John's featherweight belt
Chavez-Manfredo & Alvarez-Cintron are all that seem worth doing to me. I doubt most people have seen enough of the guys in any of the other fights to make an informed pick (i know I havent anyway)

Kind of lost track of where we're at for this month. Hut*Hut, if I'm reading previous posts correctly, the only remaining fights being picked for this month are: 11/12 - Pacquiao-Marquez III (tho not sure why Bradley-Casamayor isn't included?) 11/19 - Chavez Jr-Manfredo 11/26 - Alvarez-Cintron
I think so, to be honest. Which specific one's would you add on, mate? Any ones you especially think warrant adding? I'll warrant the scores today, by the way/
I think Bradley-Casa should be added, just for the sake of having at least one more fight. Just feels a little thin heading into December. I understand passing on the rest. Not fair to others if a lot of the names aren't immediately recognizable. But for that, stick with the ones where both sides are well-known (in boxing circles anyway)
Price has pulled out of his next bout with McDermott. Fight now taking place in January. I like Price, ya know.
Cool, lets add the Bradley fight then. It's a terrible match up but he is a borderline p4pers so yeah, it probably warrants inclusion.:Thumbs:
Price is the epitome of the SGJ...the Statuesque Glass Jaw. Insane physique. No jaw. I like him too, his right hand is a fucking bomb....if it lands clean, its kip time.
For the love of god, start this thing over and declare a winner as the points stand now. Many of us got lost in the confusion, and I would like to participate again but have missed far too many now. When is the next one starting?
