IconManagement Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 My predictions: FINAL - WELTERWEIGHT Maurice Tillet (14-2) Vs Kwasi Kwong (13-0) Tillet started his career strong and made it reasonable far before losing. In truth he should have no even made it that far due to errors in his strategy, which stem from inexperience of his manager. Luckily he is able to take a punch and thus survived that period of time. While on paper it is clear Kwasi Kwong looks like a better skilled fighter it would be wrong to count Tillet out. He has the chin and is quite self confident. This seems to be receipt for success. In this fight obvious problem for Tillet are wrestling skills of his opponent. On paper Kwong should be able to keep the fight standing. It remains to be seen if he really can do this or even chooses to do so. Who knows maybe he wants to showcase his ground skills. Either way if this fight hits the ground Tillet should be able to take it. Balin Trollslayer (13-1) Vs Marko Kerr (10-4) Marko Kerr should not be fighting at this level. It took some serious Slider Fu to drag him out of the pit he dug for himself. Now all of sudden he has a chance to become HW champ of entire Island. His opponent is strange midget straight out of fantasy literature. This entire fight comes down to, which of the two fighters can take GnP punch better. Even as his manager I do not trust Marko to be able to do this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiikeSnow Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Doubt Kwasi Kwong now ? 14-0, knocked out both current champs and the former champ (#1, #2, #4 seeds). What a wild ride for the 18y/o creation. Maybe I’ll retire him young to protect his legacy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TycoonHec Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 @MiikeSnow's prodigy, Kwasi Kwong (14-0) is undoubtedly the best welterweight on the Island! Kwong, who knocked out both Dick Winters and Maurice Tillet to claim victory of the Island Tournament now has some pretty tough decisions ahead of him. Despite him not being a very big 170lber, he managed to out strike each of his opponents and even knocking out 8 of them. The legacy of Kwong is undeniable but Kwongs manager has recently put out that he is toying with the idea of not having Kwong fight again and instead may choose to preserve his legacy. This will certainly cause some anxiousness in the mind of @rjs2442 who has reportedly just extended Kwongs contract. Should Kwong fight again, there are some very interesting matchups we would be interested in seeing for a fighter who who can fight at both Welterweight and Lightweight! We took a poll from our BUZZ community and these were some of the fights that fans were most interested in seeing followed by some quotes from random fans: Santiago Ponziabo 9-3 Santiago "Arge Enemy" Ponziabo (9-3) is undoubtedly one of the best lightweights in the world today. After laying claim to the Islands Lightweight tournament, Ponziabo is an unsigned prospect from manager @stpierrecanada. Questions have been circulating about what is next for the Argentinan but a fight with the Welterweight goat could be certainly in the mix and a classic grappler vs striker is always adored by fans. Quote James2isKing: Nah Man, Ponziabo would get ROOOOOCKED by mah boy son! Kwong all day! Quote ISeeDedPee: Bruh, imagine Ponziabo getting Kwong on the floor. A tippy tappy for Quasi Moto! Ebubekir Siddik 13-3 The Middleweight king who hosts a record 13 wins, with 6 coming by way of knockout is primarily recognized as a ground and pound phenom. Matching Siddik against Kwong could certainly see a bout that generates a ton of interest and, of course, a knockout would eventually come for one of these guys. Siddik is currently unsigned by any organization and is managed by the great @gwad12345! Quote SlidinInYaGurlsDmZ: Um, Siddik would get sidekicked from Kwong. No way he takes those shots. Quote IWreztleBerz: Siddik would take Kwong down easily and maul him. Number one True shit. Noel Diaz 15-1 Islands favorite bad boy, Noel Diaz (15-1) after recently bowing out to a highly controversial loss in the tournament, a lot of people have been anxious to see what is next for the superstar that is Diaz. @Arcalimon fighter who is still signed with Highland would probably welcome the Welterweight champ a journey down to lightweight or probably would not mind going up a fourth division to defeat the Welterweight Goat. Quote NotTycoonHec: Diaz all freaking day. No one wants that smoke son. Quote ElShaddowKnightMage: Diaz is washed up. His morale is tanked and the King would put him to retirement. You agree with any of these matchups? Would you prefer to see Kwong fight someone else? Congrats to the King, Kwasi Kwong on becoming a 20 year old legend! Hopefully we see you again. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after his victory, and asking to be released back to London, Mike Tycoon has left him with no clothing or nutrition and an empty cozad gym.. stranded on the island. EDIT: Looks like the dwarves are stranded on the island too, wanna spar some wrestling in the Cozad? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyel Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I set up wrestling for all PM sessions... the dwarves might as well do something useful before hitting the retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IconManagement Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Since Balin was able to take his opponents down at will I do wonder if this min maxing height thing would mean optimal set up for GnP or submission fighter is to just be a midget. How low in height can you really go? 100 cm? Even less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IconManagement Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 By the way I got too many fighter so I had to sack a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiikeSnow Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I messaged Mike, he's ran the end of Island scripts, so all fighters have been released to the mainland. He did mention the next season won't be for at least a few months, likely 6 months ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpierrecanada Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Santiago Ponziabo “Currently unsigned, & not sure if my manager is allowed to keep me long, but here I am, send me contract.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
