 Memo From The Desk of Dakota Thibodeaux:
I wanted to start letting you guys know who is considered Top Ten in each division. Work has made that a bit tough but I did manage to scramble together the current Top 10 HWs that are in title contention. This is just a rough draft that will be edited to include hyperlinks, avatars, belts and etc.
265: Top Ten Contenders
1 - Island Boy -- 3-1 (3-0 Org Record) -- After losing his first fight in which he should've won, Island Boy said he aint taking no more losses cause he's an island boy who's GOT to make it. He has rattled off three org wins in a row and secured his place in the title fight for 2/5. Hopefully someone on this list can secure a spot with him.
2 - Adam Cole -- 2-0 -- Adam is #2 Contender for good reason, he has the fanbase and style as well as finishes that keep the crowd alit during his fights. He will be fighting Blackwell on 1/28 to for sure secure his shot.
3 - Obi Ojo -- 2-0 -- The one eyed bandit, Cyclops Ojo is a behemoth, he is 2-0 and has been pretty deadly standing. He's fighting a lesser newcomer Macmahon 1/29 for chance at title shot and will be chomping at the bit should he win for his chance at Gold.
4 - Tonio Conti -- 3-0 (2-0 Org Record) -- Fights John 'Fucking' Dory 2/2 for chance at title shot, Conti hasn't lost and doesn't seem to plan on doing so, he's become a bit a favorite of mine at this point, so this is a bittersweet matchup for me come 2/2.
5 - Calvin Green -- 2-0 -- Fights the newcomer and mouthy Thomas Isle for his chance at title shot, a win secures him a Title shot and a L would give Thomas much needed ammo on why he deserves a spot on this list.
6 - Clemente Abreu -- 2-0 -- New on the scene and has two events under his belt here at TR; he fights Ghasem Zahari in an attempt to clinch at a title shot.
7 - Ray Pest -- 2-0 -- At first glance, most write off Ray Pest. I know I did, but he has showed up and shown out in both his bouts here at TR. He is just one win away from title berth and is booked against the powerhouse Deontay Wilder 1/28.
8 +2 (NR) Mark Midget 3-0 (2-0 Org Record) -- Beat Bobby Farva to earn his spot as a HW contender for title and is now 2-0 and one W away from his shot.
9 - Ghasem Zahari -- 2-1 (2-0) Zahari has only won since joining TR putting that first lost behind him. He is slated to fight Clemente Abreu on 2/2; this effectively decides who punches their ticket into the title fight line.
10 - John Dory -- 2-1 -- The man down under is the only fighter with a loss to secure a position in the the current Top 10. He's only lost to #8 Bobby Farva and looks to throw his name in the title fight competition by knocking off #4 Tonio Conti.
People Worth Noting:
NR -2 (8) Bobby Farva -- 2-1 -- He lost yesterday dropping him out of contention for the belt to Mark Midget. Hopefully he bounces back and gets back on track. He's sporting a fairly gruesome cut that's gonna keep him outta the action for at two months (in game time) so we may not seem him back in action until deep into our February cards.
NR --Thomas Isle 3-0 (0-0 Org Record) -- Thomas is a guy who is stepping up after winning his first three QFCs, but if you all know me...that doesn't mean a fucking thing to me cause my rogues earn shots from performance within the org not outside of it.
NR -- Darby Allin -- 2-1 -- After initially taking a loss to John Dory, he has bounced back with 2 Ws and only needs one more to get into the title talk.
NR -- Tony Luciano -- 2-1 -- He recently bounced back with W via KO of Marko Oberland after losing to the aforementioned Allin, but I think he will definitely be throwing his name into the title contender plate here soon if he can string some more wins along.
NR -- Tempest Frank -- 2-0 -- Tempest signed on with us recently after going 2-0 in the QFC circuit. Time will only tell if he pans out and will have a successful career here as Johan Costa started out 5-0 in the QFC circuit before getting his ass beat by a fighter with a losing record and ultimately falling out with his management and getting sent on his way.
