    Yoko Gushiken (12) vs. Susumu Hanagata (13) [Flyweights]
    Naoya Inoue (15) vs. Ike Weir (17) [Bantamweights]

    Willie Toweel (17) vs. Rustam Nugaev (20) [Lightweights]

    FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS:
    Richie Sandoval (4) vs. Charles LeDoux (6) [Bantamweights, 12 rounds]

    Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (4) vs. Murray Sutherland (6) [Light-Heavyweights, 12 rounds]
    Rocky Marciano (Champion) vs. Pierre Coetzer (8) [Heavyweights, 15 round title defense]

    Couldn't believe we got a 1 vs. 2 random matchup in the first round, triggering an immediate mandatory title defense. Marciano should be heavyweight champion for quite a while, if he doesn't draw Klitschko; not much competition in the top 10, and the rating system will ensure that it will be a while before there's movement between groups (once it starts, there should be a steady flow).

      Re: Transcontinental Boxing Federation

      TDF Rating System:

      1. Draws. In the event of a draw, the lower rated fighter will gain points, and the higher rated fighter will lose points, according to the following scale, summarized as follows: 1 point for every 25 points rating difference, up to a maximum of 16. Rounded to the nearest 25:

      Rating difference Point change (for both boxers)
      0-12 No change
      13-37 (closer to 25 than anything else) 1
      38-62 2
      63-87 3
      88-112 4
      113-137 5
      138-162 6
      163-187 7
      188-212 8
      213-237 9
      238-262 10
      263-287 11
      288-312 12
      313-337 13
      338-362 14
      363-387 15
      388+ 16

      Example: Boxer A, rated 1725, fights a draw with Boxer B, rated 1615. The difference between their ratings is 110 points; Boxer A loses, and Boxer B gains, 4 points; their new ratings are 1721 and 1619, respectively.



      2. Decisive results: Fighters of equal rating will gain or lose 16 points for a decisive result. For each 25 points (difference rounded to the nearest 25), they will gain or lose one point more or less than 16, depending on whether the higher rated fighter wins (decrease award; this was expected) or loses.

      Example: Fighter A, rated 1700, beats Fighter B, rated 1650. The rating difference is 2 factors of 25 away from equality, and the higher rated fighter won. The higher rated fighter gains 14 points (16-2), and the lower rated fighter loses 14 points (16-2).

      Example: Same fight as above, but Fighter B wins. This is an unexpectedly good result for B, and an unexpectedly bad result for A. Fighter B gains 18 points (16+2) and Fighter A loses 18 points (16+2).

      If the fighters in the above example had been rated 1690 and 1634, the awards (and penalties) would be the same – the rating difference of 56 is closer to 50 than it is to 75.

      The maximum gain or loss for a decisive result is 32 points, which would occur when the rating differential is at least 388 points (closer to 400 than 375) and the lower-rated fighter wins.

      3. Stability factor:

      The awards (and penalties) of fighters rated from 2200 and higher will be reduced by 1/4. Example: Fighter A is rated 2050, and wins against Fighter B, rated 1950. The base adjustment would be 12 points (16 – 4, as the rating differential is “four 25s” (100 points)). B’s new rating is 1938, but A’s new rating is 2059 – his 12 point gain is reduced by 25% (or we could say, he only gets 75% of the credit for the win).




      4. Tomato Cans:

      A win over a TC gets a boxer 1 rating point, a loss costs the boxer 30 rating points, and a draw costs the boxer 15 rating points.

        Re: Transcontinental Boxing Federation

        One thing that's nice about the rating system is that after a while, it reflects current ability and finds an equilibrium, regardless of the starting point. Give two guys any two reasonably close ratings, and after a relatively short while (regardless of who starts out higher rated), if one guy consistently beats the other 3 times out of 4, he's going to have a rating 200 points higher. If you do the math above, you'll see why this is the case - at a 200 point differential, the higher rated guy will win 8 three times and lose 24 once, maintaining the balance (the lower guy will lose 8 three times and win 24 once). If the difference started with the better fighter rated, say, 125 points lower than his opponent, then an initial win would get him 21 (and the worse-but-higher-rated fighter would lose 21), so 42 out of those 125 points in the gap would be erased right away; it won't take the better fighter longer to catch up and establish his equilibrium point at 200 points above the other guy.

          Re: Transcontinental Boxing Federation

          MONDAY NIGHT FIGHTS results:


          (Flyweights) -

          Ivan Calderon w8 (unan) Alberto Jimenez
          Calderon jumped out to a quick start, winning the first three rounds, then held his own as Jimenez attempted to mount a comeback. No knockdowns; the only damage Calderon suffered was a bloody nose in the final round. 78-75 77-76 78-75

          Julio Cesar Martinez w8 (split) Hiroyuki Ebihara
          Martinez eked out a razor-thin decision by the narrowest margin. Martinez started strong, winning the first two rounds and starting to swell the left eye of Ebihara. Ebihara came back a bit after that, and the fight was in Martinez's favor but completely up for grabs over the last two rounds. All three judges scored both of those rounds even, and Martinez had hung on. 77-78 78-77 78-77


          (Bantamweights) -

          Owen Moran w8 (unan) Alberto Davila
          Davila gets pounded and cut early and is never a threat, but earns a moral victory of sorts in sweeping the last round in this one-sided bout. Solid win for Moran. 78-72 79-71 78-72


          Julian Solis w8 (unan) Rodolfo Martinez
          Martinez is kicking himself in the aftermath of a fight he had in his hands. He got the best of the action, but lost a point in the second due to a head butt, then still leading in the 8th and final round, suffered a flash knockdown. The gifted points were enough for Solis to squeak it out. 77-73 76-75 76-75


          Alfonso Zamora KO1 Troy Fletcher
          Zamora wastes no time earning a Tomato Can Fight, blasting out the overmatched Fletcher at 2:03 of the opening stanza.


          (Featherweights) -

          George Dixon w8 (maj) Azumah Nelson
          This back and forth clash between two masters would have been a draw after 7. Nelson started the 8th round strong, but Dixon came back to steal it in the last 40 seconds. Good fight between two guys who will be moving out of the bottom tier before too long, but the unfortunate draw means it will take Nelson a bit longer now. 77-77 78-74 77-76

          Pat Cowdell w8 (unan) Juan Manuel Lopez
          Lopez wins the opening two rounds, but after that Cowdell puts on a clinic and is never really threatened. Lopez runs out of gas and takes a 5-count in the sixth to seal the deal. 79-73 77-75 78-74

          Clarence Adams w8 (unan) Pete Zivic
          Zivic takes the opening round on 2 out of 3 cards, and that's pretty much his highlight. He picks up a bloody nose in the 5th and loses a fairly clear decision. 78-74 77-75 78-74


          (Lightweights) -

          Howard Davis Jr. w8 (split) Denis Shafikov
          The winner of the 1976 Olympics' Most Outstanding Boxer award does just enough to slick his way past a game Shafikov. 75-77 77-76 78-74

          Phillip N'dou w8 (unan) Lionel Johnson
          An uneventful and fairly one-sided fight sees N'dou start his campaign off with a solid decision victory.
          77-75 79-73 77-75

            Re: Transcontinental Boxing Federation

            TUESDAY NIGHT FIGHTS (all 8-rounders):

            (Welterweights) -

            King Tut w8(split) Adolfo Viruet
            King Tut takes a split decision that was only noteworthy for the scoring: 80-73 77-76 76-77

            Jose Luis Lopez KO 8 Mark Breland
            The card got more interesting when Lopez and Breland took the ring. Only one of the first seven rounds was scored unanimously, and though Breland trailed after 7, a 10-9 final stanza would have given him a draw, and a 10-8 round would have given him the win. Instead, he walked into a combination and was counted out at 1:05. Scores at time of stoppage: 65-68 67-66 69-64


            Roberto Duran TKO 7 Errol Spence
            It went from good to better as Duran and Spence went at it. A potential robbery was averted - after four rounds, HBO commentator Al Bernstein had Duran up, 40-36, but allowed as to how it could be as tight as 38-38, and that seemed accurate - two one-sided Duran rounds, and two close rounds. Although one ringside judge agreed with Al's 40-36 card, the other two both favored SPENCE 39-37. When Spence took the 5th on all cards, it looked like Duran was going to get the short end of the stick. Instead, Duran dropped Spence for a 2-count in the 6th to take a 10-8 round and narrow the gap, then unleased furious combinations early in the 7th, stunning Spence and inducing the referee to call a halt to the proceedings over the protests of Spence, still somehow leading on two cards. Scores at time of stoppage:
            54-59, 57-56, 57-56


            (Middleweights) -

            Stanley Ketchel KO 3 Carl "Bobo" Olson
            A game Bobo Olson took the fight right to Ketchel to capture the first round, and hung tough despite losing the second. The Michigan Assassin, though, was just awaiting his opportunity, and it came early in the 3rd. A 3-punch combo dropped Bobo, and he couldn't beat the count, being counted out at 1:11

            Teddy Yarosz w8(unan) Charles "Kid" McCoy
            Nothing exciting in this one, but Yarosz did enough to capture the verdict on all cards. 67-66 68-65 69-65


            (Light-Heavyweights) -

            Artur Beterbiev w8 (unan) Mike Quarry
            It looked like a quick night for Beterbiev, who dropped Quarry for a 5-count in the first, but the game Irishman remained on his feet the rest of the way for a moral victory, if nothing else. 79-72 77-74 79-72

            Michael Spinks w8 (unan) Merqui Sosa
            The Rocky Balboa award of the night goes to Merqui Sosa, who was dropped for a 2-count in the third and a 9-count in the fifth, suffered a cut left cheek (later reopened) and a gash over his right eye, but still managed to hear the final bell. Spinks's performance was so dominant that he was allowed to bypass the typical one-month rest period following an 8-rounder. 79-71 78-72 79-71


            (Heavyweights) -

            Ken Norton w8(unan) Axel Schultz
            Norton counterpunches his way to victory in a clinchy snoozefest and in the process vaults past two very big names in the TBF February ratings. 79-74 77-76 78-75

            Max Schmeling w8(split) Joe Mesi
            Yet another one with questionable judging. Max Schmeling learns a lesson on why you don't want to leave it up to the judges if possible. Fortunately, only one of them was *completely* out to lunch, so Max escapes. 75-77 77-75 80-72

              Re: Transcontinental Boxing Federation

              WEDNESDAY NIGHT FIGHTS (All 10-rounders):

              Yoko Gushiken w10 (unan) Susumu Hanagata [Flyweights]
              One of my favorite lower weight class guys from back in the day puts on a clinic against the gritty Hanagata. Hanagata goes down for 6 inside the first 30 seconds, gets his eye swollen in round 2, stunned in round 7, and dropped for 5-counts in both round 9 and round 10...but still finishes on his feet.
              100-89 97-91 98-90


              Naoya Inoue TKO 5 Ike Weir [Bantamweights]
              "Monster" Inoue breaks Weir's ribs in the first round, but Weir refuses to quick, and drops Inoue for 4 in the second round. Weir lasted a couple more rounds, but in the 5th, Inoue stunned Weir with a jab and followed it up with a ferocious combination and the referee stepped in at the 1:38 mark. All cards 38-37; two for Weir and one for Inoue.


              Jayson Velez KO 9 Angel Chacon [Featherweights]
              Great, great fight. They trade rounds early, Velez's left eye starts swelling in the third, and Chacon's right eyes does the same in the 6th. Still up for grabs through 8, with one judge favoring Chacon by a point, and the other two favoring Velez by one and two points. Both guys exhausted, but Velez finds something extra in round 9, dropping Chacon first for a 6-count, then for the full 10.


              Willie Toweel w10 (unan) Rustam Nugaev [Lightweights]
              Nugaev comes out gangbusters and drops Toweel twice in the first, for 8, then for 1. Toweel gets up, survives, and overcomes the deficit on the judges' cards: 95-94 96-93 95-94


              Hilmer Kenty w10 (unan) Jimmy Goodrich [Lightweights]
              A snoozefest that had the crowd wishing they'd left after Toweel-Nugaev. Kenty prevails in an embarrassment to the Kronk Gym. 96-94 97-93 97-94

                Re: Transcontinental Boxing Federation

                THURSDAY NIGHT FIGHTS (All 10-rounders):

                Kid Azteca TKO 5 Marcos Maidana [Welterweights]
                Maidana fairly unrecognizable in this one. He takes the first round, then gets systematically outworked. Azteca suffers a cut on his left eye in the 4th, but otherwise consistently piles on points, stuns Maidana early on in the 5th and continues to pile it on, and the referee steps in at 1:17.

                Dick Tiger w10 (split) Sumbu Kalambay
                Tremendous action fight between two guys looking to break into the top 10. Tiger drops Kalambay midway through the second round, and Kalambay barely beats the count at 9. They go toe-toe for vicious extended periods in the third, and Kalambay emerges with a swollen eye. Tiger gasses in the fifth, and Kalambay attempts to mount a comeback, swelling Tiger's eye in return. Kalambay's right eyes swells shut in the 8th, but he persists. Trailing on all cards, he drops Tiger early in the final stanza, but Tiger arises at the count of four, survives the round, and hopes his early lead has given him enough of a cushion to survive the 10-8 round. It has, barely. 95-93 95-93 94-95


                Anthony Witherspoon w10 (unan) Freddie Swindell [Light-Heavyweights]
                Good competitive fight through 5, then Witherspoon asserts himself over the second half as Swindell tires a bit more. Witherspoon is stunned in the first 30 seconds, but survives and drops Swindell for a 2-count in the third. Swindell's eyes swells in the 5th and may have contributed to his decline. Witherspoon takes the last five rounds by 1, 2, and 3 points en route to the unanimous decision.
                97-94 97-93 96-93


                Rudi Koopmans KO6 Freddie Mills [Light-Heavyweights]
                Mills gets far the best of the early rounds, and leads after four, by three points on two of the cards. Koopmans hangs in there, wins the 5th, and drops Mills early in the 6th. Mills doesn't get up, and we're abruptly done. Time of stoppage: 0:23


                Andrew Golota w10 (unan) Mel Turnbow [Heavyweights]
                Every good boxing simmer knows the next best thing to a Tomato Can fight is a Turnbow fight. Golota drops Mel in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds, and doesn't even have to hit him low. Can't put him away, though. 98-90 99-89 98-90


                Abe Simon w10 Frank Childs [Heavyweights]
                Simon suffers a cut under his right eye, but Childs suffers knockdowns in the 1st and 6th rounds. No surprises on the scorecards. 97-91 95-93 98-90

                  Re: Transcontinental Boxing Federation

                  FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS:

                  Charles Ledoux TKO 7 Richie Sandoval [Bantamweights, 12 rounds]
                  The ol' "rare even TKO" but Sandoval was getting the worst of it, trailing by 4 on two cards after the sixth round. With a swollen eye and taking heavy damage every round, Sandoval is saved from further punishment at the 1:24 mark when his corner throws in the towel. The knockout vaults Ledoux to the #1 contender spot.

                  Marco Antonio Barrera KO 10 Clemente Sanchez [Featherweights, 12 rounds]
                  Not going to see too many beatings this bad. Sanchez was too game for his own good. Barrera stuns Sanchez in the 1st, decks him for a 2-count in the second, cuts him, swells his eye, stuns him against in the 10th, and finally puts him down for the full 10 count at 2:35. Punchstat numbers show Barrera with a 56-19 advantage over the first three rounds, and a 67-5 edge over the last three. Scores at time of stoppage: 89-80 89-79 90-80. Barrera's performance is so dominant that he's given a pass on the TBF's mandatory rest period, but he doesn't draw a fight in February anyway. Instead he'll sit on his #1 ranking and hope that Willie Pep decides to give him a shot when he defends the title in March. Fans are on email waiting lists for tickets should that fight be announced.


                  Battling Nelson KO4 Sean O'Grady [Lightweights, 12 rounds]
                  Nelson controls the first round, dominates the third, and his heard in a clinch to mutter, "You ain't in Oklahoma no more, kid." A vicious right hand puts O'Grady down for the 10-count at 2:34.


                  Frankie Genaro w12 (unan) Venice Borkhorsor [Flyweights, 12 rounds]
                  With a guaranteed May title fight on the line, Genaro and Borkhorsor didn't leave anything on the table, but the former Olympian just had too much for the Thai power puncher. Genaro didn't emerge unscathed, with his eye swollen and his nose bloodied, but he kept his feet despite being stunned in the 6th. The normally light-hitting Genaro managed to stun Borkhorsor a couple of times in return, but mostly he practiced the art of hitting and not being hit. 117-112 118-112 119-110


                  Miguel Canto w15 (unan) Julio Cesar Miranda [Flyweights, 15 round title defense]
                  Not to be outdone, Miguel Canto came off the canvas to defend his title in the TBF's first ever title fight. Canto almost had an early night, dropping Miranda for a 9-count in the opening stanza, but Miranda got up, opened a gash over Canto's left eye that the referee took a hard look at, stunned him in the 7th, and dropped him for a 6-count in the 10th. Miranda went down later in the 10th, but it was ruled a slip. But Miranda's successes were sporadic, and Canto finished strong when Miranda tired in the championship rounds. Canto and Borkhorsor will go at it in May. 146-139 144-140 146-139.

                    Juan Manuel Marquez jumped past the inactive Jose Napoles in the 147-pound rankings with a devastating TKO over Ricardo Mayorga. Marquez dropped him twice for 2-counts in the first round, following up the second with a blistering attack that convinced the referee that he'd seen enough. Time of stoppage: 1:56 of the first round...NOT the shortest fight of the night.

                    In a shocker, The Executioner take the first round, storming out with a combination and bloodying Carter's nose. Carters gets the pep talk to end all pep talks on his stool between rounds, charges across the ring with a downstairs-upstairs combination that culminates with a shot on the chin that drops Hopkins, and he can't get up. A 799-1 shot! (Carter power 5, B-Hop KD 2, B-hop KO 1: (5/20)(2/20)(1/20) = 10/8000.

                    Mustafa stalked Sutherland a bit in the first few rounds, piling up a slight points lead and trying to figure him out. In the 5th round, he did, dropping him for a 3-count, and following up with a combination that had the referee stepping in to save Sutherland.


                    Rocky Marciano KO 1 Pierre Coetzer [Heavyweights, 15 round title defense]
                    It takes 19 seconds for Marciano to drop Coetzer for a 7-count, and another 22 seconds to drop him for 10. The Rock swarms, and it's all over in 41 seconds. NEXT!

                        Nice work, gents. I just realized that you two have Stanley Ketchel active in the TBF. He and Jack Johnson are probably the two fighters that I'm looking forward to adding to the UBF most.

                            Had a lot of fun with the Benn and Marciano, well at least a couple of rolls of the dice before Coetzer went down.
