If you keep this going you will drive yourself crazy tonight. You are coming up with some great ideas and I am sure when they are laid out in simpler terms all off the regulars pickers will embrace the idea. We all love boxing and we all love competition and banter so it goes hand in hand that we compete against each other every week. Bring it on!!
Yeah, Han was a kickboxer. I think he's dabbled in some other forms of martial arts as well. Also, fun fact: Han's older sister is a boxer (a really good, top female boxer, BTW) and, I don't know if they still do this, but they used to spar with each other.
SWEET! I just found out my cable lineup does actually include BeIn Sport (the channel that is carrying the Monaco card here in the US tomorrow from 3-7pm EST) :banana
I think there needs to be a mechanism utilized that will tell where a fighter will be ranked after the results are in. This is why I suggested the whole tiers of 5 thing and all that. I haven't seen how the results of each fight will affect the rankings(if u posted it, i missed it). I think subjectivity needs to be removed or people will eventually complain. It also avoids any appearance of impropriety(not accusing you of such, but others might) I do like the idea of having each fighter alternate between fighting higher and lower ranked fighters. I would say make an exception for a fighter if a shot at the title comes up.
****. Thought that big Mexican left hook in the...5th round I think it was, may have changed the tide there. Damn. Good stoppage though. Abie wasn't winning the fight...unless of course there was a robbery, but still winning via robbery isn't worth it. Good stoppage.
Loads. He stuck a gun in a young kid's face over nothing. Why aren't you asking in the FNF thread? :deal
The rankings will be subjective, there are so many situations that I can't predict so I given up the thought of putting some rules on it. I initially thought of rewarding a victory with an jump in ranks by 2 or 3 places but it didn't fit cuz there will be situations like #1 beats #4 and #2 beats #3 so will #1 deserve to keep his spot or #2 will step into it? You cant tell if #2 done enough if you don't know the way of the victory. And if #1 had under performed. I had thought at it a bit actually tried a small simulation with listed fights between ranks and it all come down to your opponent rank and the way of the victory. I will make the rankings and ask for a second or third opinion every time. The rule I came up for that is: ''In building the ranks we will take into consideration equally your opponent ranks as well as the way of victory.'' And about tiers, I don't feel comfortable on putting more limitations, and don't think is solving the who gets to challenge issue, because all must get that chance no matter the rank. I think I got it right with this one: ''You Can't fight more than 3 ranks above yours, the rule doesn't apply to the PPLs or Regular Champion'' and this one, ''One fighter cannot challenge twice in a row. It will be alternative One time he'll challenge the next one he'll accept a challenge''
This is what I got so far. WBK Ranking Rules *You Can't fight more than 3 ranks above yours, the rule doesnt apply to the PPLs or Regular Champion *The lowest 3 ranks that must accept challenges will do so from the unranked. They will be named, to be knows that they are the guys to beat in order to break into Top10 *All challenges are mandatory *One fighter cannot challenge twice in a row. It will be alternative One time he'll challenge the next one he'll accept a challenge *The fights have the same rules as the WBK title fight, the only deference is that they will be 10 rounders. *If you don't place your picks for the first 2 rounds, the opponent will be named winner by TKO. *In building the ranks we will take into consideration equally your opponent ranks as well as the way of victory. *When any confusion of any kind will appear to who shall occupy the better place we will take into consideration your as well as your opponent seasonal rankings that will work as a tie-breaker and be considered as a fighters reputation.
Hahah. Simion vs Bruce Lee .... that's how this fight is presented in Romania. '' From 12 at night Viorel Simion vs Bruce Lee ''.
No need for purses for me. It will already be competitive so no need! Could also be they I am bitter because I lost all mine. Haha!!
