Couldn't do much with this guy to set him apart from other TC's other than trying to increase his chances of getting dq'd

another Piggy Lid suggestion. Remarkable guy. Not one of his 55 loses by decision. A truly pratfall prone opponent.

Many thanks, much appreciated.
At the start of the nineties Holly's "fight" with Michael Bentt was shown on British TV and I swear he was on his way down before the so-called knockout punch hit him.

From then on until he retired I had a standing bet with a friend. As soon as the week's Boxing News came out we looked for Holly's fights, if he was kayoed in the first he bought me a pint of Guinness, if Holly lasted into the second I got the beer in. I got the better deal.

I love tomato cans but I can't view your attachments. Adobe won't open them. What do I need to do to see your work?

[John Dewey]

I remember James Holly as James Robinson listed in a file for the Comp-U-Sports version of the game called Worst Heavyweights. I've always had a fondness for opponent type fighters. I especially enjoy it when they occasionally rise to the occasion. Remember when Doc Anderson KO'd Mark Gastineau or when Yaqui Menenses almost KO'd Ed (Too Tall) Jones in the latter's pro debut only to be robbed of the decision?

They are tbdx3 files. They will work with the current version of the game but they have to be imported into your database or universe. When I get home from work later this afternoon I can walk you through the process, if you aren't familiar with it and provide screen shots

I remember when that came out. I think they were also available as an extra for the last card version of the game that the Trunzo's produced. Got them at home. Should check to see if I've missed any for the TC pardade and cobble together some files for them.

I would appreciate the help as I am only marginally computer savvy (learning more all the time though). I have all of the trial horses and worst heavyweights transcribed if you need any of that info from me. Some of the ratings need to be adjusted for the current game however. I even have a handful of trial horses from way way back when the Avalon Hill board game just came out. They included, as I remember. a fighter named Baby Leroy. I loved the name and remembered it. The info that came with him had him listed as a Middleweight but research showed that he was really a Lightweight.

Yes. Please send me what you got with instructions please. I had punched literally hundreds of fighters in my game many of which I rated myself plus ones from earlier versions of the game that were no longer present. But, a couple of months ago I got a real bad virus on my PC and it had to be wiped clean. Hundreds of hours of work gone! Luckily I transcribed my work in notebooks so it wasn't irretrievably lost but I never got the energy to redo all that work again.
