Union Cane's Prediction League - Season 2

Champion : Eyetoldyouso

Week Five Results

1. Nonito Donaire v. Omar Andres Navarez (12)	Nonito Donaire UD
2. Marco Huck v. Rogelio Omar Rossi (12)	Marco Huck KO6 (EKO)
3. Jason Booth v. Scott Quigg (12)	Scott Quigg RTD7 (LKO)
~~4. Alexander Ustinov v. Danny Williams (12)~~	Void
~~5. Karl Place v. Carl Johanneson (8)~~	Void

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

Week Five Review

The Fights

Only three fights this week, Karl Place's opponent dropped out late on, adding to Danny Williams' withdrawal earlier in the week. In the fights that did happen, Jason Booth learned the lesson that you can't go on for ever, the younger Scott Quigg really did a job on him and his career looks to be over, certainly at super bantamweight. It comes to us all eventually. In the other fights, Donaire earned a shut-out 3 x 120-108 unanimous decision, confirming his lofty P4P ranking, and Marco Huck KO'ed his opponent in 6.

The Premiership

A fantastic week for compelling and rich, who managed to get all three fights spot on, earning himself 12 points, a big jump up the table to finish in 4th place, and of course a Predictor of the Week award.

It was the same old story for Knowsit17, the Prediction League's perennial choker once again failing to hold on to a lead when it matters, a measly 4 points drops him to a 3rd place finish. Second place went to sodhat, a case of ever the bridesmaid never the bride for our Prediction Cup runner-up.

Top of the tree though is Eyetoldyouso, our new champion claiming his title with an impressive 10 point haul. I am sure you will all join me in congratulating our new champ.

It's not all happiness and joy though, as alma, Michaels, ian_jamsie, JJJohnson and, believe it or not, Union Cane have all been relegated from the Premiership.

The Championship

School Project becomes the first Championship Champion, a nine point haul this week propelling him to the top. Dass, Jdandfries and 88Chris05 will all join him in next season's Premiership, however there is drama surrounding the fifth promotion place, with 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude tied on 29 points. They can't be separated by the Highest Weekly Score criteria, both having high-scores of 9 points, so a play-off will be required. Details below...

*Update*

The Play-Offs couldn't separate 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude, so given the exceptional circumstances, I have decided that Season 3's Premiership will have 21 places, they are both promoted.

Scoring and Rules

I will list fights 1 - 5, this list will be definitive, when predicting please list fights in the same order.

Predict the winner - 1 point

- Predict the method (KO*/Pts) - 1 point

- - Predict 'Early' or 'Late' (for KO) / 'Unanimous' or 'Majority/Split' (for Pts) - 1 point

Get all three above correct - 1 bonus point

Correctly predicting a draw (be it majority or even technical) will score you 10 points

Any entries that are subsequently amended will be void.

If a fight is cancelled, postponed, or if a fighter drops out and is replaced, that fight is then void.

Each season will be five weeks long.

There will be promotion and relegation between the two divisions, with the top five in the Championship replacing the bottom five in the Premiership at the end of each season.

If at the end of the season players are level on points, the player with the highest individual weekly score will take the higher placing.

Nobody is automatically entered into the Championship, anyone can enter, simply post your predictions to take part, using the format detailed below. You can enter at any point in the season, after all, 5 draws is 50 points which could win promotion in one week.

If the official result of a fight is changed within one week of the fight having taken place, the new result will be applied. After one week, the result as given will stand.

Union Cane's decision is final.

Example Entry - Please use this format :

1. Paulie Maglinaggi - KO Early
2. Edwin Valero - Pts UD
3. Calvin Brock - KO Late
4. Jessie Vargas - Pts M/SD
5. Nigel Benn v. Chris Eubank - Draw

I think that just about covers it, any questions feel free to ask.

Union, why am I in the relegation zone already? Please arrange them alphabetically, and if I'm still there, turn it upside down.

Many thanks, Michaels.

by coxy0001 Mon 19 Sep 2011, 11:19 am

Season 2...?

Already?

Do we not get a winter break?!?!?!?!

by **Union Cane** Mon 19 Sep 2011, 11:21 am

I was considering a break but then saw that Sprott is fighting Dimitrenko. I could not deny you all the opportunity to predict the outcome of that potential FOTY contender.

by **88Chris05** Mon 19 Sep 2011, 11:23 am

Union, after being angry with myself for never getting involved last season, count me in. It's a shame I'll be starting off in the Championship - look out you Premiership boys, I'll be seeing you in a few weeks! (Kiss of death).

Cheers.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Mon 19 Sep 2011, 11:27 am

Guess am I the Championship?

When did Edwin Valero win on Pts? Bad Example!

Alexander Dimitrenko KO Late
Gary Buckland Pts UD
Rendall Munroe Pts UD

Raul Martinez Pts UD

by coxy0001 Mon 19 Sep 2011, 11:30 am

Alexander Dimitrenko EKO
Gary Sykes UD
Rendall Munroe UD
Kaizer Mabuza UD
Raul Martinez UD

by coxy0001 Mon 19 Sep 2011, 11:37 am

The above predictions feel hollow, i'm too spent from a long season to give it my all.

Providing i don't have any busy weeks/get banned in the next 5 weeks i'm sure i'll win anyway...

by **88Chris05** Mon 19 Sep 2011, 11:38 am

Alexander Dimitrenko, KO late
Gary Buckland, Unanimous Decision
Rendall Munroe, Unanimous Decision
Kaizer Mabuza, Split Decision

No can do I'm afraid, Champ.

It's a mandatory defence, if you get no points you'll finish bottom, and then be but a distant memory in Season 3.

Ok I will have to show coxy up again I am afraid but after Season 2 have a break for a while.

Dont worry Genius you can have all the rest you need after this season because once Im into the big time, ill be taking the crown & wont be letting it go! That goes for all of you...watch out because im coming & in the words of Audley Harrison..it's my destiny!!

And as for you Paperbag Puncher less of the scrubbers please...I hear much like in football the Championship is the better league, well it will be for 5 the weeks im around then im off to join the riches of the Premiership!

P.S. Im thinking this works similiar to boxing in that I will now be automatically handed a shot at the major title due to the fact ive trash talked?!

Good scorecards on the first Martinez v Guerrero fight. 2 in favour of Martinez scoring it 115-113. 'Woman' Judge had it 117-111 for Guerrero. He obviously had the nicer legs......

There's still plenty of room in the Championship if anyone else fancies a go.

by sodhat Tue 20 Sep 2011, 11:41 am

You're going to need leagues 1, 2 and the Blue Square premier at this rate Union.

Once that's in place, be prepared for my collapse through the divisions a'la Leeds.

by **Union Cane** Tue 20 Sep 2011, 11:44 am

I did consider it but it could get far too complicated.

An infinite number of places in the Championship seems the best way forward.
