A few more divisions

Once I get the title fights updated, I'll get to 1) other significant fights, 2) upcoming fights, and 3) rankings. The program does some ratings based on results, also, so I think I'll do my own top 10 for each division, have the computer do ITS top 10, and then publish an overall top 10 based on some combination of the two.

MIDDLEWEIGHT

Tony Zale TKO4 Sugar Ray Robinson

Zale's lucky day...a left hook opened up a nasty cut over Robinson's right eye in the 2nd round. Robinson had a big 3rd round, and was having a big 4th, but the cut re-opened in each round, and the ref stopped it at the 1:57 mark. Zale moved to 4-0 (3), and defeated some great competition to earn the belt - Robinson, Monzon, Cerdan, and LaMotta. The loss sent Robinson into a bit of a tailspin; it dropped him to 3-1 (1), but he's had two subsequent fights, tallying a decision loss and a draw, putting him at 3-2-1 (1) -- winless in his last 3.

JR MIDDLEWEIGHT

Mike McCallum W15 Tony Ayala, Jr.

The fight was dead even on two cards after the 14th (McCallum was winning easily on the third)...up for grabs, and McCallum grabbed it, taking the 15th round and the fight on all cards, 143-142, 143-142, and 146-139. McCallum also scored a 13-round knockdown, giving him a 10-8 round -- the bout's only knockdown; barring that, we'd have had a draw. McCallum moved to 3-0 (1); Ayala dropped to a bizarre 2-1-3 (1). He won his first fight in the tournament by disqualification; then he had THREE 12-round draws against Maurice Hope before knocking him out in their 4th bout.
