LeeSkye: That works a bit and may be a trail to go down. If I rate all the staws with a condition number of 4,5, 9 or whatever the same problem exists - you don't see the seemly poorer fighters winning or pushing a better guy to the limit much. I think that if you use a 5 condition for overall 5's and higher and 1,2,3 or 4 on overall 4's and below you get a LITTLE more in the way of seeming upsets being the norm. Using more than a 5 for control on the 5's and higher swings it too much the wrong way. I think for now, I will set all overall 5's and higher at 5 condition and the rest at something less than that; perhaps use a subjective gradient based on the number of upsets or full-lenghth title shot losses that a guy has. I don't know how it will work out, but thanks for an idea that may be worth something
Anyway, here's another one. I really do think that this division is going to require endless tweaking so tweak away and if you get good results post your tweaked versions.
MAWANDA SINEKO
Hometown - East London, South Africa
18(6)-6-2
Sineko drew with fellow countryman Steve Msimanga for the IBO Strawweight title and lost a bid for the South African title to Khulile Makeba. He has yet to be stopped in 26 pro bouts.
