    For me Colins lost just about every round after the first 2-3 and last one where Kalmbay just moved around and close things out.Not that it wasn't a competitive fight though.Collins must have thrown about 3 or 4 times as many punches, but other than some success with his too often neglected jab he was hitting arms and shoulders all fight.

    This is derailing things now though.

    **** Collins.

    Wow. Azumah and Mike ended up quite close together. Surprised you have either over Foster and happy to see Canto over them all.

    In other neews, Perez would've smashed Canto IMO. But I am happy with their placings, although it may well be that Perez has the less recognisable names but the equally stellar run, I'm not sure. He's more diverse in terms of skillset and application whereas Canto must be applauded for being such a variety of stylists with so little tools at his disposal.

    Who d'ya like, essentially.

    EDIT: Wow, looks like lora and myself bleating on about Manuel Ortiz's lack of astounding bantamweight opposition has seen him take a real hammering. He's now below Zarate, who Ortiz outranks on my bantam list.

    What's the reasoning there Mr. McGrain?

    Azumah is definitely a fighter I'd like to watch more of. I watched him get schooled by Whitaker last week. I assume that wasn't damaging to him in the slightest seeing as he took virtually no punishment. Just got outboxed about as conclusively as is possible.

    Can't I just watch Kalambay-McCallum I again? Or Graham I? I still have the Barkley fight to get through actually.

    I want to see him win a bit, Flea. Look how loveable he was in his pomp.

    He, Zarate and Dempsey dropped in tandem for the same reason and ended up neatly stacked together. Looking over Zarate's bantam opposition when I was talking with Addie about him sweetened me on Zarate a bit.

    So you shouldn't feel bad, it was just a descent of dominant one-weight champs that form a certain clutch, more generally. I may flip em yet.

    So it basically had the opposite effect of what I was going for?
