While we are waiting on choc's next fight announcement I thought we should see what ESB members would do if they were manager for choc and his next 3 fights :yep No real rules however lets try to make the fights build to something and make some sort of financial sence.

[url]Zaveck retains IBF welter belt[/url] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+1][/SIZE][/FONT] By Karl Freitag IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck (29-1, 17 KOs) scored a twelfth round TKO over #15 ranked contender Rodolfo Martinez (36-4-1, 13 KOs) on Friday night at the Tivoli Arena in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The much quicker Zaveck was in command from the get-go, strafing the rugged Martinez repeatedly with sharp combinations. The bout was finally waved off by the referee with :40 seconds left in the bout, although Martinez was still game to continue.

A heated twelve-round affair between two well-educated but light-hitting stylists, which was held at Bouzianes backyard ended in a split draw, which well reflects the flow of the contest. Both boxers boxed cautiously, using jab and tight defense and going into the slugfest mode only on occasion. The reigning champion took first two rounds off to adjust himself to the awkward Frenchman. Nongqayi was the better man in rounds three and four. The see-saw process continued in subsequent rounds as well and neither fighter could get the better of another. It looked like Bouziane did exactly enough to get the twelfth and final round but it turned out to be a disappointing mirage both for him and his partisan home crowd. Scores were 114-114, 114-114 and 115-113 for Bouziane. Fightnews scored it 115:114 for the challenger. Both fighters were down once and both times no knockdowns were issued.
we both got this right, you picked KO10, me KO2 so u got a few extra points here [url]Harrison brutally KOs Sprott[/url] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+1][/SIZE][/FONT] By Alexey Sukachev In what will be long remembered as one of the most fascinating endings in the recent history of British boxing, seemingly wasted 2000 Sydney super heavyweight gold medalist Audley A-Force Harrison (27-4, 20 KOs) delivered a monstrous left hand equalizer to knock out bitter rival Michael Sprott (32-15, 17 KOs) cold at 1:05 of the twelfth and final round. The newly-crowned European heavyweight champion Harrison, at 38, was seemingly on the brink of calling it a day, losing to smaller Sprott the majority of rounds and showing little will to deliver anything big, until he turned the whole fight around and avenged his only career kayo loss in a stunning fashion. Sprott, who was just 2-4 since knocking Audley out cold three years ago, dug deep and found one more great fight in him pummeling and pounding Harrison from pillar to post for the entire first half of the contest. Harrison has never been rocked but was visibly unsettled by Sprott continuous aggression and fierce determination. Audley began to mount his comeback in round seven. In round eight, Audley delivered a long series of left uppercuts to rock Michael Sprott. He was the better man also in round nine. Sprott revived himself and got back into action in the tenth stanza but the eleventh was once again in A-Forces favor. Fightnews had it 104-105 for Sprott before the dramatic end in the twelfth with a sudden shot by Harrison. Sprott was given an oxygen in the ring after a bad knockout.
The sad thing is Ash, team Mundine couldn't tell you who he's fighting next now, let alone where to from there! The best approach in trying to anticipate their selections, based on history, is eliminate travel as a possibility first. Then choose a guy very unlikely to offer much opposition. It's preferable also to bring the opposing fighter up a division from their natural weight, just to minimise what little chance there was of a meaningful contest. Oh, and then come in heavy at the weigh-in! Not correct in all cases, but a very useful yardstick approach for the Mundine career thus far.

I for one hope you can win mate and hold the ESB tipping comp Cup high:good Its between you me and francis and we have already won it once so its your turn mate.
Just map out 3 fights that you would have him do and then take a stab at what you think they will do...its not that hard mate
Yes you maybe right...but are you talking about my poor state of health in general or some points of my fights selected?
1. Fight for respect. This is a onesided affair with Choc falling short in the preparation. A terrible loss. 2. Fight for credibility. As with the first opponent, a hard task. Choc fails to consider the additional counter punching ability from short range in the face of genuine value. Another terrible loss. 3. Fight for a legacy. This one's an easy win for Choc. Even though the opponent didn't show up, the bout was still very, very sloppy with Choc backing himself into the corners at ridiculous stages of the rounds and the result being a confusing UD that will be determined by generations in around 25 years time....
