Kirks Championships : Boxing Prediction League : 2018

I see both @CST80 and @OvidsExile have taken this great movie list each year back to the black and white era.
Great job guys, both of your knowledge are impeccable, a real eye opener really and deserve much respect!
I can't wait to see when you guys down to the best silent movies. That is the era I anticipate the most
