Title Bout

As for next fights I have a few requests.
Dempsey vs Frazier

Jack Dempsey vs Joe Frazier
Scheduled for 15 rounds.

In a Title Bout DREAM fight between these two hard hitting Heavyweight Champions, Dempsey got things going early as he staggered Frazier with a powerful uppercut in the very first round. Dempsey continued his early success by cutting Frazier on the bridge of the nose and then again staggered Frazier in the 4th, this time with a powerful right cross. A frenzied Dempsey tried to finish off the hurt Frazier, but missed more than he landed and may have punched himself out a bit as in the very next round Smokin Joe came roaring back into the fight dropping Dempsey with a huge left hook for a 5 count at the end of the 5th round. The bell rang as Dempsey got up, saving him from any follow up punches.

The 6th was action packed as Dempsey was all over Frazier with vicious combinations and uppercuts, until Frazier came back by staggering Dempsey with a whistling left hook at the bell to close the round. In the 9th round, Frazier struck again late in the round with a right uppercut and Dempsey was down for the second time in the fight, this time rising at 8, but again, fortunately for him, he heard the bell to save him from further punishment. Dempsey was relentless however and he staggered Joe with a left uppercut of his own in the 10th. Dempsey started showing signs of fatigue in the 11th round and was also warned in this round for rabbit punching.

With Dempsey tiring, Joe Frazier closed the championship rounds strong, cutting Dempsey under the left eye in the 12th, and stunning him with a left hook in the 15th and final round. Frazier won a hard fought, tough majority decision over Jack Dempsey.



Result: Joe Frazier W15 Jack Dempsey
Scores: 144-139 & 144-139 Frazier, and 141-141 Even.

I used to have that game when it first came out and it was a lot of fun. Still remember my first fight playing it and it was Ali stopping Shavers in 12. And poor Mel Turnbow. He was my resident "opponent" if I wanted to play out a fighter's actual career and didn't have cards for some of those lesser opponents he fought. Enter Turnbow's card. Poor guy probably had a record of 10-1000 when I played.

But yeah, that game was a lot of fun (flip, flip, flip). As were all of Avalon Hill's sports games back then.

I demand another re-match,... that fight was too close,.... we wanna see it again, and a very possible scenario, it would be savage and both men fighting to stop from dying as much as for glory, I see the fight ending this way, or by an early to mid round KO to Frazier, a Frazier victory by stoppage is also on the cards, what were the values the cards gave them ???.... I'd like to see a fight at the other end this time or soon,.... in particular, a match between two dynamite punching Flyweights, Jimmy Wilde Vs Benny Lynch............ it'd be great to see next few fights in the different linear divisions plus the fantastic Jr WW's.............................................. ............................................ ............................... I think Benny Leonard vs Ike Williams could be a very close fight too, closer than many people might think,,,,,,, anyway, I'd like to see that fight too........ ............. This is a very cool thread my friend.

Hey fight fan,.... I think SBleeder wants to see LISTON Vs BRUNO,..... don't you ??????

Yes.

Liston vs Bruno is next, then Duran vs Gans

[McGoorty]

For what specifically?

You know, like the card ratings for Chin etc....................... I am also amazed at the detailed fight descriptions,..... How on earth does that happen,... I'm like a kid who can't work out how the sound came out of the radio, after all it wasn't attached to a cord,.... or anything !!!!!!!...

Dempsey and Frazier both rate highly in punching power, Dempsey gets a 9, and Frazier gets a 10, the highest HP (hitting power) possible. As for chins, Demsey's is rated a little better, his KDR1 is rated as a 2, and Frazier's rating is a 3. KDR1 is knock down resistance, the lower your score the better your chin, the less likely you are to be knocked down. Hagler for example gets a 1 for his KDR1. Dempsey has a 2, Frazier a 3. KDR2 is similar to KDR1 but is a rating that is added to the KDR1 when a fighter has been knocked down, so it reflects how much more vulnerable a fighter is after being knocked down, and for the remained of that round. Dempsey gets a 0, the best possible and Frazier gets a 1. KOR is Knockout resistance and both score a 2, with 1 being the best possible. They both have excellent endurance, but the reason Dempsey grew tired in the 11th was due to the fact that he had been knocked down twice in the fight and had another round where enough punches were landed against him to warrant a reduction in his stamina. By the 11th, he began to show signs of fatigue which included reduced hitting effectiveness and accuracy as well as a few other variables. As for defense, the range on that is -6 to +6, with -6 being the best. Dempsey's defense is Even, meaning that nothing is taken away from or added to his opponent's range of landing punched, and Frazier rated a +2 on defense, which means +2 is added to his opponent's range for punches landed.

That all make sense?

Sonny Liston (Prime) vs Frank Bruno (1986)
Scheduled for 15 rounds

This Title Bout fantasy fight was a brutal bloody affair for the short period of time it lasted. Bruno started the fight with a ton of nervous energy and was even having some success against Liston in the first round, until a powerful combination of hard punches from Liston sent Bruno to the canvas towards the end of the round. Bruno was up quickly, but was obviously dazed. The bell rang to end the first round before Liston could pounce on his wounded opponent.

The second round was all Sonny as he battered a still hurt Bruno from pillar to post. A right hook from Liston tore open a bad cut inside Bruno's mouth, and the blood began to flow freely. The referee was taking a close look towards the end of the round and almost jumped in to stop it, when with only seconds left in the round Bruno finally fired back and landed a desperation punch to avoid the stoppage.

Going into the 3rd, Bruno was still showing the effects of Liston's punches to the head and body. Liston could smell the kill at this point and he quickly reopened the cut in Bruno's mouth and then finished Bruno off with a left hook to the temple that dropped Bruno for the second and final time where the referee counted him out at 1:20 of the round.



Result: Sonny Liston KO3 Frank Bruno
Time of KO: 1:20 of round 3.
Score at the time of stoppage: All three judges had it 20-16
