Old Straweight, Junior Flyweight, Flyweight, Super-Flyweight & Bantamweight threads

[Galaxy]

The problem is there are only two scheduled light-flyweight fights for the rest of the year. We don't want to have two vacancies in a weightclass, we should aim to have a full 10. This weightclass is pretty dead outside of the Top 6, so I think voting in the vacancies is the only way to do it. If the guys are crap, they'll be outta there soon enough.

Fair enough points. I can see where your coming from. But I think in this type of situation, Instead of voting I think the manager in charge should just be allowed to pick. The reasons behind that are cuz it's an obscure division. Not to many people follow it. So they most likely will just pick the name they know or recently heard of. In this case (Due to his recent title fights with Calderon) would be Mayol. A fighter I don't think deserves it considering he has 4 losses and only 3 wins in his last 8 fights. I would round off the top 10 with Ryo Miyazaki at 9 and Adrian Hernandez at 10

Cool, I'm happy for you to pick. I'd seen Hernandez fight twice on Italian cards & wasn't overly impressed, whilst Mayol at least fought relatively even with Calderon over 2 fights, even if I had him losing. Haven't seen Miyazaki so can't comment there.

Hell, I'll change my vote to Miyazaki if needs be, both you & Galaxy have more knowledge of these fighters than I do, so I'll trust in your opinions.

You shouldn't have to change your vote Jaz, I agree with the points you make about Mayol, I just feel that beating a pool member rates higher than Mayol's last fight which was a loss

I agree. I stand behind my critic of Mayol. But there is no need to change your vote

My point is I'm not in an informed enough position. I've only seen 2 of the candidates in action. I know Hernandez KO'd Mayol, but the most recent fights of theirs I've seen I been more impressed my Mayol. But neither really did shit for me. If you've got a link to any footage of Miyazaki, I'd be interested to see it. Man, this is one weak division.

Who should fill the vacant #10 spot at 112?

Note
Omar Salado has not won a fight since being removed from the ratings, so has been left out.

Jesus Jimenez
Jesus Jimenez

Julio Cesar Miranda
Julio Cesar Miranda

[Galaxy]

Miranda's 1st round KO of Ortiz is enough for me

[killersheep]

This vote will be for the #9 spot because Donaire was removed to move up a weight class.

[Galaxy]

With only 1 current pool member (Denver Cuello) I propse that these fighters enter the pool.

Yasutaka Kuroki hasn't lost since 2004

19 year old Luis Alberto Rios crushed Walter Tello (who went the distance with Manuel Vargas) in 4 rounds

Good spotting mate, I missed that one

[Galaxy]

Kuroki & Rios enter the pool by a vote of 3 - 0

[Galaxy]

Julio Cesar Miranda fills the #9 spot by a vote of 6 - 0

[Galaxy]

How far should Joseph Agbeko (currently #4) drop? 0-3 spots?
Joseph Agbeko

Remain rated 4th
1 spot to 5th
2 spots to 6th
3 spots to 7th

[killersheep]

I meant to click remains at fourth, accidently hit drops a spot.

All good, I agree as Mabuza was stopped I feel Agbeko should remain ahead

[Violent Demise]

Mabuzza was stopped. But he was winning going into the 12th round. I would place him ahead of Agbeko

[Nameless]

I would drop him only from one position a lost that includes some debatable events (the headbutt for instance) but nothing more, if he makes a good fight against a significant opponent, he will have the right to climb up again otherwise he might face a significant drop for next time.
