Week Twelve Review

Dirty, cheap shot or opportunistic flash of brilliance?

Ultimately it matters not, the record books show KO4 and Mayweather moves one win away from emulating the great Joe Calzaghe.

Elsewhere there was more great entertainment from Tyson Fury, mixed fortunes for the Smith brothers and a controversial Vegas undercard, but the fight we are all interested in is the battle for the inaugural Union Cane's Prediction League title between coxy0001 and The genius of PBF.

The gauntlet was laid down by coxy0001 with an impressive haul of 12 points, however it wasn't quite enough, the boasts and bravado sounding decidedly hollow now.

Gentlemen, your Champion...

The genius of PBF

You are in luck, the new one starts next week. If this one ever finishes.

Seems to have gone off at a tangent.

What would the captain say...

Nice one Mr Cane

Inimical

adjective
1. adverse in tendency or effect; unfavorable; harmful: a climate inimical to health.
2. unfriendly; hostile: a cold, inimical gaze.

Here is an example of it being used in an everyday context :

"What is wanted—whether this is admitted or not—is nothing less than a fundamental remolding, indeed weakening and abolition of the individual: one never tires of enumerating and indicting all that is evil and inimical, prodigal, costly, extravagant in the form individual existence has assumed hitherto, one hopes to manage more cheaply, more safely, more equitably, more uniformly if there exist only large bodies and their members."
-Friedrich Nietzsche

At the risk of sounding like an oblivious idiot as usual, what is going on? I saw the first thread was locked and gather that Windy has or is leaving (I didn't get any PM). Is the league still open, is v2 closing or what? Someone expel the darkness I am in please...

Windy and rowley have left and might never return.

The good news is, Sean Michaels is staying......

The first thread locked because it got too big, there was nothing sinister there.

Windy left due to reasons, but action has been taken and we think (hope) he'll be coming back shortly.

Rowley has popped out for a stroll on Ilkley Moor (bah' t'at) and everyone has assumed that he's left in support of Windy, but he just fancied a bit of air.

The league is still open, and 606v2 is not closing.

They also put a man on the moon, and the Titanic sank.

My bad, I just saw Hobo's announcement. I really should up my visits of the boxing boads. A very unfortunate loss of an objective, fair and unaggressive contributer if he's gone for good, hoping that's not the case. That goes to rowley too.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu Sep 15, 2011 4:27 pm

Anyway, I am off home now. Not to return for a week. Glad the day passed without incident anyway. If rowley and Windy come back to the boards in my absence, tell them both I love them and miss them greatly.

Union/Sean, feel free to take on the role of Hornet fact supplier if you feel the urge. No-one else seemed to care.

Have a great week one and all.

General Tito.

One last wasp fact for the day?

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu Sep 15, 2011 4:57 pm

Go on then. By public demand (Sean):

Hornets are wasps of the genus Vespa, closely related to (and resembling) yellowjackets. There are about 20 hornet species. Most live in tropical Asia, but the insects are also found in Europe, Africa, and North America, where the European hornet was introduced by humans.

Peace out mofo's.

I think he said that he was withdrawing his predictions in protest to the £2.50 registration fee being charged by primetime.

Still a slim chance as only 1 point behind.

Do I have Champion Emeritus status, being the 1st and current defending champion? Very Happy

I'll certainly be joining next season. I want that belt around my waist. It looks AMAZING.

Good work Union gutted I missed the final champions league place on highest weekly score, however as they are the rules I will observe them with good grace.

by Daz Mon Sep 19, 2011 9:17 am

Thanks Union mate! Not a bad result. Happy with 6th. Although I was hoping to topple rowley. Next time!
