I'm going to try to do one prediction a night (or more if we get a certain date in the near future). I was thinking of writing a blog but figured we can use this space more effectively. So with our first match up....Cheez the DKE vs SSJoker…please respond with your own predictions as well.

Cheez the DKE (5'10 239lbs) vs SSJoker (6'7 245lbs)

We're going old school without any sparring help to judge what kind of fighter each manager has created. It looks like Cheez has made one of his classic meatball sluggers, smash to the body then go for the brutal KO late. SSJoker has made a finesse dancer from the looks of things...with the even 75APs, this will make a tough fight for Cheez's fighter. It all depends on how much strength SSJoker's fighter has to thwart Cheez's onslaught late in the fight.

SSJoker will take the early rounds, gain a sizable lead with some key resting rounds in the middle. I feel that SSJoker will just have enough to KO Cheez's guy in the 11th round once the all-out comes around. This will be a brutal fight though and a must see attraction.

Odds
SSJoker 60%
Cheez 40%

53rd Street Gym (5'8 213lbs) vs Game Admin (6'0 292lbs)

Wow...53rd Street Gym has an interesting slugger. From the looks of things, he looks to be a well balanced slugger, speedster, or most likely an agile slugger. Preparing for this fight would be tough. On the other hand Game Admin is a monster that should have a huge advantage in this fight...but on the other hand, will Game Admin even have a fight plan? If he even puts up a basic FP like a
4h/8!/8
if warnings >= 1 then 4h/9/7

I would say that 53rd is dead meat. I just think 53rd will scout this fight to death and with all the pressure that I've put on him by being my favorite to win it all, and he just might if he has a speedster! I have 100% faith with 53rd with pulling out an easy decision win. Don't let me down 53rd.

No pressure

Odds
53rd 100%
Game Admin 0%

I agree..Joker has been around a while, He is no Newbie.
He has been active lately and building up some good
fighters.
Cheez is a Legend from way back but I think his ring rust
might show a bit.

Also agree on the 53rd fight. Normally this would be a
tough match-up giving the size of the fighters but I think
ADMIN is there for a filler..I could be wrong though..LOL

Hope you didn't put up your house to cover your bet on me Monster.

The optics of me being in a tournament are awkward as fuck, but I need to participate in order to test. If I win even 1 fight there's gonna be a lot of talk so here's the deal.

My FP throughout the tournament will be

4b/8/8 (clinch)
if opp=hurt then 4h/8/8 (allout)

Do what you will with that.

I can appreciate your position and because of that I will leave my fight plan unchanged from what I saved a few days ago.

Bold Bill (5'6 240lbs) vs Stykey (5'2 201lbs)

So the battle of the Beast of the East. On one hand, we have a legend in Bold Bill that was dominant at the turn of the century. Now we have the juggernaut of sluggers in Stykey, who has seem to be giving ZWIP a run for his money. I always love my mega gyms. Now onto our matchup..

Stykey….5'2 201lbs?? Is this done by mistake? A 5'2 fighter? Maybe it's a strategy that I'm unaware at the heavyweight division. Maybe make a small slugger and just put a ton of speed/strength to counter all the "assumed" dancers that seem to flood CIT tournaments. It's good to think outside the box but he is facing a 5'6 240 cannonball slugger. He is going to have dance his little tootsies off with giving up 40lbs in weight. I'm still hard to say what the true odds will be without any proper sparring. I have to say that Bold Bill ends up sending Stykey's guy into the morgue with a mid round KO, let's say round 6.

Odds
Bold Bill 90%
Stykey 10%
