Haven't done much with the African universe the last month or so because of the 80s LW ratings I've been doing. I figure another two-three weeks and I'll be playing again, instead of rating and pic hunting.

I'm personally impressed by the rating and pic hunting. You've certainly been busy since I've been down here. I'm going to be well over 15,000 fighters by the time I finish the last six months of threads. Thanks.

... If any of you guys have photos of Africa/Middle East fighters not rated, or know of someone I've overlooked, post it or PM me and I'll be glad to rate him to add to our respective Africa universes. Share the photo in the corresponding string above, please. Thanks in advance.

Good work Mark. It's fun to relive the eighties and the careers of these obscure fighters from Africa all over again with TBCB. The amazing thing is you probably have only scratched the surface with this project.

Didn't mean to prove you right, but I did. Went to BR to see if I could pad my Africa region in the lightweight universe I created for the 1980s, and came up with way more than I bargained for. Nearly all of the following fit there, though there are a few other bonus general Africans thrown in. The following should be indication there are plenty more to rank ... starting with Akwei "The Razor" Addo, Bossou Aziza, Alain Bamba, Lofti Ben Sayel and Mustapha Bouzid.

vistaman44 · 07-29-2007, 09:06 AM

Here are Elijah Cele, Jean Claude "Van Damm," Samuel Colomban, Jimmy Cruz and Elias Diraditsile.

vistaman44 · 07-29-2007, 09:08 AM

... including Brahim Drif, Taoufik El Mabrouck, Victor Fata, Ganiyu Giwa and Abram "Xoli" Gumede.

vistaman44 · 07-29-2007, 09:11 AM

This group includes Jerome "Green Cobra" Gumede, Habib Hammami, Gerald Isaacs, Aaron Kabi and Peter Konyegwachie.

vistaman44 · 07-29-2007, 09:13 AM

... these five: Lulamile Manqina, Freddy Mason, Adrian Massalando, Andrew Mathiya and Lamek Tex Mbao.

vistaman44 · 07-29-2007, 09:17 AM
