    Guess the fight from the picture. Test your expertise for bragging rights. My official images will be posted each day (if there's participation). Some may be considered easy, some may be hardcore gobsmackersonsofguns. It will be random. Champs will be chosen for the week, month and year if all goes well and the thread doesn't die a quick death.

    Rules:

    1. Unless otherwise noted, 1-3 official images per day will be posted (barring I don't kick the bucket or something).

    2. Posters get one guess per image. If more than one is guessed, anything after their first will be ignored. :twisted:

    3. If the week, month or year ends on a tie...the tie must be broken for the champion to be declared!. :fire (Special guess-off for the leaders to determine a champion)

    4. If a fight should go un-guessed until the following day (24hours), it will become worth two points instead of one, being available in the original post until the end of the month, if it stays in bitter un-guessitude that long.

    For some bonus points, Roberto Castanon from Spain.
    And Castanon appeared to win the 1st Round.

    Sorry man. That shits in my wheelhouse. I'm usually befuddled by these questions pertaining to Harry Greb's one armed, banjo playing second cousin ;-)

    You busted me Il Duce. I meant the Roberto Castanon from Kentucky. I think he was trained by Darren Van Horn's dad. He sometimes fought as Chris Calvin out of Tennessee :D.

    Nice Bujia. I had Canzoneri but wasn't getting Berg in any reasonable amount of time.
