    I can live with this. Thanks again for doing this tournament! I know it took a lot of time and effort and I for one appreciated it and enjoyed these threads.

    Question for all that participated. Is there any fighters in the tournament that you would have picked over Conteh? I honestly would favor prime Tarver and Dawson against Conteh. Conteh's strength was that jab from an orthodox stance and that strength would be somewhat neutralized against those two who were excellent at taking that punch away from an opponent. I could see Maske giving him problems as well with his tricky style.

    Yes well done Matt, huge effort mate. I too can live with the result and quite comfortably at that.
