Re: Unified Boxing Federation (Glory Days Boxing)

Holy cow you've got some great bouts coming up!
Can't name all of them but DLH-Williams, Fury-Ali, Douglas-AJ.
Love the Joe Glass character too.

One question, is there a WW version of Sugar Ray Robinson?
Wondering what his ratings are at WW compared to MW.

BTW, thanks for the shout out.
Love that you're doing this universe.
It's better than real life boxing, lol

Keep up the great work!

Thank you, my friend. None of this would be happening without the initial encouragement that you gave to me to do this as a Dynasty. If not for that, I would probably still just be doing a HW-only federation and I know I wouldn't be as motivated as I have been.

I have to step away from time to time to avoid burning out but I always come back strong and keep going. You are a huge part of that. I enjoy giving updates to those who enjoy following this.

Joe Glass, yes. A tip of the hat to Mike Tyson's Punch Out by AZYankee as is another Tomato Can - Bull Baldino (Bald Bull).

There is, indeed, a WW card for Ray Robinson. On his WW card, he has more Power, a better Killer Instinct and a slightly better defense.

Speaking of the handful of fighters with cards in multiple weight classes, to this point my thought is that I will only allow fighters to move up a class and not down.

So, for example, since Robinson originally entered the UBF as a MW if I later randomly select him as a replacement for a retired WW I will ignore it and select another WW.

However, if I had originally selected him as a WW, he could be drawn as a MW and move up.

This is subject to change. A couple examples of potential exceptions would be if I was running out of WWs and had plenty of MWs, I may allow Robinson to move down. Another example would be that if Robinson retired as a MW I may allow him to make a comeback as a WW. It's not exactly the most realistic thing to do but let's have fun!

Re: Unified Boxing Federation (Glory Days Boxing)

Very kind words. Ive really enjoyed this universe you've created.
Love checking in and seeing what's going on.
But glad you're taking breaks. It's supposed to be fun, not something to get stressed over.
And part of that fun is doing things that wouldn't happen IRL, like SRR coming back as a WW. I'd love to see that though!

Thanks again for all the work you put into this. It's been great.
I'll enjoy reading your updates for as long as you have fun running the universe.

Re: Unified Boxing Federation (Glory Days Boxing)

Just curious if you are keeping records for the tomato cans?

I'm not but the data is all here (and on paper, lol). It wouldn't be a huge undertaking to compile the data.

If you need it, let me know.

Re: Unified Boxing Federation (Glory Days Boxing)

I just wanted to stop in here and drop a word about why it's been over a month with no fights.

When we had the winter storm in Texas, like thousands of others, I had a pipe burst in my attic that caused quite a bit of damage to my house.

Since then, it's been a bit of a mess. Contractors, insurance adjusters and the like. The drywall and painting got done about 10 days ago and I'm currently having a contiguous portion of tile replaced that covers my kitchen, breakfast area, a hallway and a bathroom.

The combination of water and cold (or just bad luck) caused some tiles to buckle necessitating their demolition and replacement. The demo was done yesterday and the installation will be done in 2 to 3 days.

Once that's complete, the carpet in my living room is going to be replaced (next week) and things will get back to normal.

Understandably, living in a house that is a construction zone is a major PITA. Constantly shuffling furniture etc from one room to another and, at times, living out of boxes is no fun but it'll be done soon.

The good news, I suppose, is that being confined to my bedroom for days at a time has given me the chance to attack some other projects that I've had on the back burner.

Anyhow, I haven't left the UBF to rot and I'll be back at it in the next few weeks when things return to normal. Thanks for your patience!

I appreciate the concern very much but truthfully it's just been an inconvenience and a hassle. Things could be much worse so I'm not sweating it.

The UBF will return, have no fear! [emoji846]
