**** Kirk's ESB Championships 2011 ****

Id like to change my pick to Montiel by TKO if not too late please. Thanks Kirk.

 

First suggestion, providing it hasn't/doesn't get called off

Feb 26
Stephen Foster v Ermano Fegatilli, Bolton Arena, (European super-featherweight).

Should be a very good fight.

 

Ok for next month i've seen some of these banded around already (now that i've piped up it looks a lot quieter than it was this month :-()

March 12

Burns vs laryea
Jennings vs mcmillan
(Also appleby is slated to fight that night vs the warrior tba)

March 19th

Magee vs bute
Casey vs rigondeaux.

It's a shame I didn't mention it sooner because this month has seen some top matches, notably crolla vs watson. Great fight try to watch it if possible. Tonight is a very good card also!

 

Also forgot to mention

Same night as martinez

Lee vs mcewan. Should be exciting.

 

We should also pick every single world title fight. Dunno why the Zaveck fight wasn't on the list.

 

we should also pick every european tittle fight

 

I know there has to be a sense of realism with fight choices. Between 20-30 a month is probably the maximum fight list we could maintain.

They shouldn't all be title fights imo, I like the mix of crossroad fights and domestic fights in there.

It basically comes down to what tackle and kirk hinted at earlier, if you like a fight, suggest it and it might get put up.

As well as the zavek fight did I also note a lack of vasquez and soto in title fights on the list? Both scheduled to defend their belts in the coming weeks. Vasquez defends vs the guy who knocked out kim in 1 round and soto is having an easy match in preparation for the big antillon rematch.

Pirog is also due to defend soon.

I think it's important to maintain a nice quantity of fight to prevent us getting overwhelmed. 20-30 a month is perfect. I know the other league does that in a week but I couldn't keep up with that tbh.

 

I'm sure we can come to terms. Altogether there are about 7 to 15 world title fights a month so there's plenty of room for others, I say do not exclude a low division or out of radar title fight just to have a meaningless televised undercard bout instead. At the end, I say pick the best 25 quality matches per month +- 5 depending on the schedule and division and location should not matter, but IMO the lists were very solid this year, plus does it really matter HOW I win the championship? No.

 

Imo it shouldnt matter how big the list is. There should be as many fights on there as there's MEANINGFUL fights.

I believe this is the list for March so far.

Looking goood. A good amount of people changing their picks to Montiel by KO. The curse will strike you!!!

:rofl:rofl:roflpleeeaasseenut:nut

 

Hmmmmm very an extent tackle I suppose you're right when the list is done at the start.

What makes it messy is the changes in schedule. Having a big list at the start is ok, I couldn't handle many big lists each week.
