Union Cane's Prediction Cup - The Final Result - Winner : alma

Union Cane's Prediction Cup - Test Event

I'm toying with the idea of running a knockout cup competition alongside the new Premiership / Championship Prediction Leagues, this is just a test event to iron out any potential problems with the stadia and transport network et cetera.

The idea is to use Wednesday Night Fights for the cup competition, this will mean a limited choice and a lot of unheard of fighters, so it might fall flat on its face, but if it doesn't work I'll know not to bother with it when the next season kicks off.

So, I need 16 volunteers for the test event, once we have the 16 I will do the draw and then put the fights up for you to predict.

The Final

alma

versus

sodhat

We are going on a five day trip around the world for The Final, visiting all four corners of the globe.



The fights are as follows :

A - Sunday 4th September - Tanzania
1. Bakari Mohamed v. Ramadhani Shauri (8) - Ramadhani Shauri W PTS
2. Herman Richard v. Sadat Miyeyusho (4)
3. Issa Omari v. Kade Hamis (4) - Draw
4. Joseph Peter v. Mbwana Ally (4)
5. Mwaite Juma v. Franky Purry (4) - Mwaite Juma W PTS
6. Yahya Mkumbukwa v. Shafii Ramadhani (4)

Injury and illness decimated the line up (I should think), and only 3 fights survived, one of which was drawn. Alma scores an impressive 8 points, having predicted both remaining fights would end in decisions, whilst sodhat scores a solitary 1 point for predicting that Shauri would beat Mohamed. That's quite a lead after the first card, has alma got this in the bag already?

B - Monday 5th September - Dominican Republic
7. Vladimir Baez v. Ramon Duran (12)
8. Jean Carlos Prada v. David Toribio (9) - Jean Carlos Prada W TD6 (58-56 / 58-56 / 56-58) SD

10. Teerachai Kratingdaenggym v. Dan Nazareno Jr (12) - Teerachai Kratingdaenggym W UD

Both finalists getting both fights spot on, 8 points each.

alma	17
sodhat	11

D - Wednesday 7th September - Japan
11. Akihiro Kondo v. Masayoshi Kotake (8) - Draw

Nobody picked the draw, scores remain the same going into the big finale...

16. Rolando Giono v. Javier Coronado (8) - Rolando Giono W SD
17. Jenifel Vicente v. Adolfo Ramos (6)
18. Addir Sanchez v. Daniel Mulgrave (6) - Addir Sanchez W UD

Some excellent predicting again in the final card of fights, alma adding 17 points to his score and sodhat adding 15.

There is a line Union....

If only razzaq and Jeff Boycott still contributed......

"Contributed" is pushing it a bit....

Could be a few first round byes at this rate...

I'd be surprised if Lumbering Jack gets the chance to enter. He's just tee'd off on Primetime and that doesn't tend to go down well on here........

The draw has been made, the fights are up, off you go.

I've changed my mind Union, can I play?

Yes because every name on that list is one I am intimately familiar with.

Sorry but I'm not in because I'm concentrating on winning the league rather than the cup competition. I have a lot of catching up to do. The best I could do is send in my second string predictions so better not enter. May need them for the league.

In the words of Arthur Lee - If you want to count me in....COUNT ME OUT!

You can throw my name in the hat if that's OK. Only time will tell if this competition can be as successful as Young Towzer's Prediction or Betting leagues though.

...good luck to you as well Union as my opponent, may the luckiest man win!

This is awesome fun, Union. I am far more comfortable with pure guess work. Your the best.

Cheers mate, they could be just as successful as long as you don't take almost two days to update them. It would just be plain 'wrong' of you to do so...

*You're

The fact that nobody hasn't not heard of none of these 'boxers' is clearly a downside.

Does the 'fun' factor outweigh the 'who?' factor?

If this is a cruddy idea, make sure you tell me.

Grammar Nazi.

And yes, the fun is undeniable in this one, but rest assured, we will all tell you when we get bored. I will start slagging it off the moment I am eliminated.

How many replays can there be? I realise a tie is pretty unlikely, never mind two, but somebody might want to play silly boggers and cut n paste their opponent's predictions. I realise it's an unlikely situation but maybe you could put in the rules something like if two people who are drawn against each other choose exactly the same results for all the fights, whoever got theirs in first gets the nod.

Just a suggestion to cover your back mate, ready for when this goes global.

Good point, I'd thought about that and I reckon that in the event of a replay predictions must be pm'd to me and I will have to receive both sets before putting them up on the thread.

Do I get lumbered with the last entrant?

What's the prize by the way?

Jeffrey Cerna pts
Jetro Pabustan pts
Bobby Concepcion pts
Rennel Flechero EKO
Karlo Maguinto EKO
Nino Valenzuela pts
Macrea Gandiongco EKO

Easy, Easy, Easy!!!

You will if there is one.

First prize is a non-existant "Team Khan" T-shirt.

Do you still need participants Union? I'll be no 12 if you still need?

Sorry mate, number 12 has gone. You can be number 14 though.

Get predicting!
