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.

I agree, henceforth why none of the above are having had of happened.

Was that translated from a foreign language mate?

Doesn't read too well does it.

Poor excuse I know but I was multi-tasking, googling Carla Ossa for the fit birds thread at the same time as formulating that riposte.

I will rule with an iron fist Uncle Rowley, I promise.

Going home now, good weekend everyone.

To wind Coxy up, to show everyone that he's second best to you, Champ.

And you mate

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems I'm the only one to have hit a complicated result bang on the head for the Van Heerden fight. Surely deserving of the POTW award??

Doesnt look like anyone has faith in Marquez

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon 26 Sep - 12:56

Marquez is well past it. I just hope he doesn' t take a bad beating because he won't give up. I always hear Carl Froch talking about warriors well Marquez is a warrior just a well worn out one.

I think you should adjust it

1-3 - Early
4-6 - Almost Early
7-9 - Almost Late
10-12 - Late

You like that suggestion, Union?

by **Union Cane** Mon 26 Sep - 13:10

How about...

1-2 : Wow, that really was early.

3-4 : Quite early.

5-6 : More early than late.

7-8 : Late, but not that late, more mid-late really.

9-10 : Late

11- 12 (00:00 - 02:30) : Very late

12 (02:31 - 03:00) : Wow, didn't see that coming.
