Busy weekend, with some boxers and some old school grapplers joining the collection: Joe Stecher, king of the Post Gotch and Pre Strangler eras in the 1910s and 1920s, known for his deadly legscissors. Sorakichi Matsuda, first noted Japanese pro wrestler to compete in the West, was said to have a fearsome headbutt when he unleashed it. Eder Jofre, Brazilian bantam and featherweight who combined speed and power like few others in the lighter weights. Oscar Bonavena, Argentinian heavyweight of the 60s and 70s who fought the best of the time. Ann Wolfe, women's boxing star who was ducked by Laila Ali and trained top level men in the sport later on. Always looking forward to your edits Senator. :) Great job on these!

Hey, longtime lurker here. Really enjoyed the stream last night. I'll try to keep it short, but I want to show some appreciation your work. I never had any interest in fictional edits, but I enjoyed simming your real life edits so much, that I decided to give it a try. Eventually decided I want to start my own e-fed, and started creating edits for the first time(started playing when Returns came out). I'm shooting for early June getting that started. I've been using your real life edits as templates to learn, so apologies in advance if I "steal" from you too much. Thanks for helping me enjoy the game in a new way. Always get a little excited when a new senator edit is uploaded.

I'm always honored if anyone can get any use out of my work like that, and doubly so to have helped fire up your own creative spark. Looking forward to see what you have cooking, in terms of edits and your fed, Gambler. |

Got some boxers in over the weekend:  James "Bonecrusher" Smith, one of Tyson's foes in his quest to unify the Heavyweight title in the late 80s, and a combination punching big man in his own right.  Fighting Harada, Japan's finest pugilist, one of the best ever at Bantamweight, lightning fast aggression.  Frank Slavin, Australian rib breaking body puncher of the 1880s and 1890s. |

As run down as I've been lately, I still managed to get some puncher men up on the Workshop and fill some of the biggest gaps from the 1890s-1900s era as well as setting up a preview for this weekend's HW title bout  Dominic Breazeale, top level current contender who's fighting Deontay Wilder this weekend.  Peter Maher: Heavy handed Irish born boxer who was much better at giving than receiving Gus Ruhlin: Tricky, inconsistent, dangerous foe in his time, could nullify even the best of his time Denver Ed Martin: Long limbed boxer who used his length to great advantage. |

Not too bad of a weekend, as far as Fire Pro goes:  The Junkyard Dog was charisma incarnate at his best.  Andre the Giant, 80s style  Nikolai Volkoff, foreign threat extraordinaire  Naoya Inoue, body snatching power puncher at Bantamweight and one of the P4P best in the world |

Well, I might as well do this now. I've been busy lately in terms of edit making. Very busy. So much so that I'm going to do this in a spoiler, as to avoid slamming a stupid amount of images out there.  Marvelous Marc Mero was an impressive athlete and was a fixture in the midcard scene of the Attitude Era.  Fireman Jim Flynn knocked out Jack Dempsey and challenged for the HW title.  Georges Carpentier also had history with Dempsey, a legit box office attraction, a Frenchman who popularized boxing in his homeland.  Pinklon Thomas, 80s era expert with a jab, lost to Mike Tyson  Gunboat Smith hit hard, and was one of the best of the 1910s.  Miss Elizabeth, classy and beautiful, the essential manager for the Macho Man Randy Savage.  Charley Mitchell, perhaps the toughest opponent that John L. Sullivan beat in his career.  The Three Faces of Foley, all up and ready.  Marco Antonio Barrera, legendary Mexican fighter who could box or brawl equally proficiently.  Erik Morales, eternal rival of Barrera, and just as dangerous.  Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, few fought a more impressive list of opponents in history.  Miguel Cotto, Puerto Rican boxer who was champ across multiple divisions.  Tony "TNT" Tubbs, skilled, fast boxer who couldn't handle Tyson, or stay in shape. |

Got several more 80s Heavyweights up:  Greg Page: Super talented Heavy who had fast, two handed power and Ali-inspired footwork, but just couldn't put it all together for long enough.  Gerry Cooney: Super popular in the early 80s, and carried a vicious left hook, especially to the body. A better view of what I was able to achieve with Cooney's belt pattern:  |

I realized that I was one edit away from my 100th entry in my Heavyweight Boxing collection. And as such, I figured George Godfrey would be a good man for that spot. The problem is, there's two boxers who have gone by that name, both of them worthwhile in their own right. So you know what had to follow...  -The Original George Godfrey, known as Boston George or Old Chocolate was a Canadian born boxer who competed in the 1880s and 1890s and was ducked by Sullivan. -George Godfrey (II) was born in Mobile, Alabama and fought in the 20s and 30s. He was a hard puncher who scared the best of his time, but often had to hold back due to the unwritten rules of the time. |

Ok, another long one, I've been on a bit of a mission this weekend to complete a lot of edits I've been meaning to make for Project Boxing, and I think to a large degree, I succeeded. I'll leave the boxers behind the spoiler and the wrestlers, fictional and real, on the outside here.  Esther Musambi of Nairobi, Kenya joins the Pan African Roster and has a mix of fast kicks and powerful lifting moves.  Wesley Rakoto of Madagascar takes his native martial arts skills and adds Lucha training to the mix.  The one real life wrestler I made, George "The Animal" Steele Now, onto the boxers,  Katie Taylor, unified Lightweight champion from Ireland  Rocky Graziano(above) and Tony Zale, two of the most popular Middleweights of the 1940s  John Ruiz, tough, tactical fighter who became the first Latino champ at HW  Henry Cooper, classy Englishman who gave Ali his first real challenge in the ring  Juan Manuel Marquez, four division champ, fought Pacquiao four times and came out ahead in the last one  Tony Tucker took a prime Tyson to the distance and also fought Lennox Lewis  Sultan Ibragimov, skilled Dagestani boxer with two fisted power, took on Wladimir Klitschko  The Prince, Naseem Hamed, ultra flashy British boxer who dazzled in his entrances and in the ring  Ike Ibeabuchi, Nigerian HW who could have been an all time great, if it weren't for his issues outside of boxing |

Four from the Klitschko era join the roster:   Corrie Sanders- Power punching South African who could have been a pro golfer Lamon Brewster- Tough nosed brawler who could have done more if not for eye issues Ruslan Chagaev- Known as White Tyson for his swarming pressure and dangerous overhand Oleg Maskaev- A glass cannon who punched Hasim Rahman out of the ring for a KO but also lost to lesser foes |

 Hector "Macho" Camacho was a force to be reckoned with in the 80s and 90s, supremely fast, as flashy as any fighter, especially with his ringwear and entrances, and beat both Duran and Leonard in addition to being a media star. |

 Filipino Flyweight boxer Pancho Villa, dominant in the 1920s before dental surgery killed him.  Not a new edit, but a big update for my Tyson Fury based off recent showings  Jimmy Bivins was one of the top fighters at HW and LHW during WW II  Antonio Margarito's career is tarnished with accusations of loaded wrist wraps, but he was a warrior in the ring without them, too --- Some stuff I want to do going forward: -Continue filling out classic wrestling rosters, although that'll remain a piecemeal effort -Make more AAA Lucha Libre edits. These are rather tough, as movesets are harder to piece together and documentation can be a bit iffy on anyone who's not a star, at least in terms of English stuff, but it's by far my favorite current fed -Get back to making MMA fighters -Continue with Project Boxing -In addition to the last point, I'm aiming at an initial roster of twelve ladies for my Womens Boxing collection I already have: Ann Wolfe Laila Ali Cecila Braekhus Katie Taylor Mikaela Mayer And plan to add: Christy Martin Mia St. John Lucia Rijker Valerie Mahfood Holly Holm(boxing version) Clarissa Shields Delfine Persoon |
