Strawweights
Ok, I am taking back my words - I am going to bore you with this afterall.
I created a file for Basez, perhaps my ratings suck, but that's not the point.
With Basez set as I think he should be including a condition rating of 5 and Rachman with the "6" that his stock file has, Rachman wins 99% of the bouts and generally, Basez only wins when Rachman is stopped on cuts.
If I drop Basez to a condition of 1 and leave Rachman as is, but now Basez will generaly win one decision and one stoppage other than from cuts per 100 bouts.
I have to move Rachman up to a "12" condition rating to get anything that looks good. At that setting, Basez will win 3-5 decisions per 100 bouts. I can live with that, but I can't accept what that might do to Rachman over a career.
So, for now, my stance with these straws is going to be to do a straight rating for everyone and put all the fighters who are a 6 overall and lower at a "1" condition rating. All 7 overall fighters and above will get a 5 to 7 condition. This may screw everything up over the long haul, but that's what tweaking is for.
Thanks for the great idea LeeSkye, it may prove out to not really work all that well, but then again it might be just the ticket. A fun run either way though.
For anyone that gives a rip about fighters that weigh 105 pounds in full dress after dinner, here is Basez' file.
CONN
La Ode Zaenudin Basez (fought as "Julio de la Basez" earlier in his career)
Hometown - Surabaya, Indonesia
4(1)-10-3
Basez has had a lackluster journeyman's career with one large exception; he absolutely has Muhammad Rachman's number. In his pro debut, Basez lost to Rachman on points in an undercard six rounder. 3 1/2 months later the two faced off in a 6 rounder again and fought to a draw. Fast forward 2 1/2 years, Rachman has established himself as a force within the stawweight division. Basez, on the other hand, has been less than stunning, fighting only 3 times with one win and a KO loss. The two go at it again with the Indonesian title on the line and Basez pulls out a 12 round decision win! Basez never approached this kind of quality fight in the years since that 1997 bout. In fact he only scored two more victories. One was against a fellow journeyman, the other was a controversial technical decision in the fifth round of a scheduled ten rounder with Ernesto Rubillar.
