Nice work on the rankings BEAST!

Yes, lets have featured fights be worth 2 points :good

As for underdog picks being worth more, im gonna say no for now but maybe Ill change it in the future. Right now I dont want to influence anyones picks more then they already are in terms of who they are truly picking, and I think getting extra points for underdogs would make more people choose the underdog then normally would, which in turn would result in less accurate numbers on who really thought who was going to win for a featured fight. One of the reasons I like featured fights is to see the feelings of fightfans on how certain fights were gonna go down.

But who knows, maybe Ill change it in the future, for now lets just go with featured fights being worth double points. :thumbsup

 

Hey guys, I was thinking of one last idea for the WBK (the new title)...

Im going to make a suggestion, but if it doesnt sit right, we can easily scrap it and keep it the way we have already decided on, lets think of this as the last idea, and if it doesnt feel right we can go ahead as planned with the WBK.


Right now we have a yearly title..... which is the League Champion. Only one poster gets crowned a year for that.

And we have a semi weekly title.... the peoples championship. In theory, that title can change hands every week.

So I was thinking, we could make the WBK a monthly title, instead of another weekly one. It would make it a tad less watered down because there would be less champs, and it would be a new concept that I kinda wanted to do in terms of pitting two posters against eachother.

so heres the idea

--------------------

We would take the rankings that Beast just did, and wheover got the highest points would challenge Beast for the WBK title.

This is how it would go.

Starting this week, until the end of the month (november), I will choose 5 fights and put them on the WBK page.

From now, until the end of the month, the two posters are duking it out against eachother in those 5 picks. (5 for this month, because its already halfway done) a normal month for the WBK title will be 10 fights.

Ok, so, I put the 5 fights on the board, and the two posters have to make their picks on those fights.

Whoever picks those selected fights the best over the course of the month, is crowned the WBK champion for that month.

If the fights picked are a tie, we will then move onto who picked the right fights the most accurate. So whoever picked the closest round if theres a KO (hence the need for a specific KO round).

----------------------------

So, the winner between the two for that month is crowned, and will go down as that months official WBK champion.

His 1st defense will be a voluntary defense against anyone of his choice as long as they accept.

Should he win that, his 2nd defense (also the 2nd month holding the title) will be against the person who had the best record in the previous month (not for the year, but for that specific month)

---------------------------------

Let me know what you guys think. If not, we can keep the every week system. I just think having it this way will be something much different (as it really pits two guys against eachother for an entire month), will be a little less watered down in that its harder to earn the belt, and will also be easier to upkeep as instead of having to pump out rankings for every week you only have to do it every month. ect, ect.

But, its just a suggestion/thinking out loud.... doesnt matter to me either way, both ways are solid.

Just let me know.

 

Yup :thumbsup

If anyone feels like it, put down a little on your thoughts about the fight (broner/demarco) and Ill get it in the featured fight video.... should be up in a couple days.

I like to have afterthoughts because it helps show boxing fans feelings about the fight at the time. Theres a lot of revisionist history that goes down in boxing, its nice to have a time capsule of sorts to see what thoughts and feelings were before and after the fight.

Also, if anyone finds any good fight pictures for the fight, put em in the thread so I can get them in there as well :good

I want to come up in weight and fight the number one guy and the number one guy is DeMarco. It doesn't matter who it was, that's who I would be fighting. I just want to fight the best out there.

--

I'm gonna be me regardless. This is a fight...every fight is serious. Every fight is serious. But DeMarco, he's not a guy who..who's gonna trash talk. He's about business and that's what I like about him. That's how I know he's going to come to fight, he's going to be prepared. So, you know, I'm well prepared. I train so hard every fight. This is definitely one of my biggest fights ever. From here on out it's only going to get bigger. I'm not going to do much talking. He's a nice guy, if I talk too much I' gonna look like the bully.

--
But anyone still can get it. AfriCANs, AmeriCANs, MexiCANs. Anybody still can get it, and he's going to get it.

“It’s time to put on a show. You’re not just coming to a boxing show, you’re coming to the Adrien Broner show. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be entertaining. There’s going to be a lot of smiles. Some might cry, but at the end they’ll laugh about it.”

“A knockout is only a punch away. So you’re always careful. I’m stronger than a lot of people think. On Saturday you’ll see that.”

Adrien Broner met with assembled media prior to embarking on a clean up effort in support of storm relief. He was respectful of WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco saying, “He’s definitely my best opponent so far.” To no surprise “The Problem” remains confident, “(DeMarco) was fighting good guys, but he wasn’t fighting Adrien Broner.”

"Assuming everything goes well it will be good for my career but being honest it isn't the biggest or most important fight of my career. Those fights (the most important) got me to the point where I was able to get this fight. I'm sure that a win will get me even bigger fights.

“With all due respect Broner is Broner and Mayweather is Mayweather.”
