*~* Shake's G-O-A-T Welterweight Tournament *~* SAVE MY FIGHTER ROUND

Ted "Kid" Lewis (2)

Jack Britton (2)
Emile Griffith (2)
Felix Trinidad (2)
Oscar de la Hoya (2)

--------------

Two out of these seven fighters will make it into the Best Welterweight of All-Time tournament.

How this works:

You get to 'save' one fighter every round by posting his name. When you save a fighter, that fighter can no longer be eliminated in this round. Once six fighters have been saved, the seventh will be eliminated and we will start a new round with the remaining six fighters.

When there are four fighters left, it will take two votes to 'save' a fighter, and when there are only three left, it will take three. For now, save your favorite fighter out of these seven.

Poster #2:

Poster #3:

Blue has been eliminated! Because no-one saved poor ol' Blue, Blue is left behind. The next round will now start with Red, Yellow and Black.

[Shake]

If someone has been saved in this round, there is no need to save them again.

I'm thinking I should have done a straight-up voting topic. :D
