STRAWWEIGHT SENTINEL
Welcome to the Straw Sentinel! Back in the day, the Boxing Game had some active weight division commentaries. I’ve decided to try and start that up again. The Straw Sentinel will focus on the smallest weight division in the game. I’m going to have 4 features-
The Top 5- I will preview the upcoming fights and make predictions on any fight featuring a top 5 fighter.
The Regional Report- I will list all the Regional champions and discuss their title defenses from time to time.
Journeyman Special- I will discuss a fight between two journeyman managers and give those managers some much deserved press.
Hot Prospect- I will follow the division’s best undefeated fighter as they climb the ladder.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE BOUT
World Champ Paul Mason vs. #3 George "TNT" OGrady
Our current champion Paul Mason is very small even for the strawweight division. He weights a whopping 94 pounds dripping wet and is an inch taller than my grandma standing 5 feet 1 inch tall. He’s as agile as your everyday common house fly, beating him is going to take a great fighter with a great fight plan. George “TNT” O’Grady is the challenger to Paul’s crown. TNT must stand for tit and tat because this strawweight doesn’t have much power. Nearly an identical fighter to our champ O’Grady will slapping faster than the air whistles through George Bush’s ears while standing in a hurricane. We’ll see over 2,000 punches in this fight and your guess is as good as mine in predicting a winner. Both are fast and both are managed by Legendary managers. I’m going with the champ…PREDICTION- PAUL MASON
OTHER TOP 5 FIGHTS
#4 Emiel Ratelband vs. #5 Mussie "Bellboy" Dello
In another fight featuring two slapping specialists on the undercard of the main event will be another Eddy Crown vs. Jonp showdown. Dello is a former world champion who has lost four fights in a row. On top of that he’s weight a hefty 114 pounds coming into this fight. He’ll have to take a pretty hefty cut to make the 106 lb limit. He’ll be fighting Emiel Ratelband who is another EC dancing fool. These two fought last week and Ratelband won a Majority Decision. With the increased AP’s from last week’s victory I’m going to have to with Ratelband by a Unanimous Decision. PREDICTION- EMIEL RATELBAND

JOURNEYMEN SPECIAL
Berryman 5-2 (2 KO’s) 3/3 vs. C.W Lindecamp 6-4 (2 KO’s) 2/4
Our Canadian regional champion managed by Brrak is fighting C.W. Lindecamp who happens to be managed by our U.S. East regional champ manager Clindecamp18. Lindecamp’s stable mate The Tiny Cannibal is the current U.S. East regional champ. This fight is not for belt, but for regional pride. U.S. East vs. Canada! Lindecamp has an agility advantage and does well in past fights using the (ring). However, Berryman a balanced fighter beat a Duke of Dorkdom fighter last week and is no pushover. A tough fight to call but the match-up advantage seems to fall toward C.W. PREDICTION- C.W. LINDECAMP
HOT PROSPECT
Angelica Hope Bectel 7-0 (3 KO’s) 7 Rating 7 Status MANAGED BY: The Battlin Bectel
Standing at 5’0 and 105 pounds Angelica Hope Bectel is definitely a HOT PROSPECT. Angelica Hope Bectel should be nicknamed the Duke Terminator because Angelica has won her last six fights vs. Duke of Dorkdom managed fighters. 6 in a row…Duke needs to seek some revenge. Angelica doesn’t have a fight scheduled this coming week so have to wait for her to be in action in the future!
