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.

Sergio Gabriel Martinez LKO

I was going to go for Barker but for the fact I would like to get a nice tally of points this weekend ive gone for the sensible option....

Though in saying that I wouldnt mind the upset as Ive just been down to Coral and stuck £40 on a RND 7-10 KO/TKO for Barker at 66/1!!

Hey Union can I change my Marquez, Nishioka entry from a Nishioka late ko to a Marquez late ko?

Sorry I'm so late, Union! Slipped my mind, here are my takes on the week two fights.

Martinez, Late KO
Cunningham, UD
Nishioka, UD
Rees, UD

Hhhhmmm, as you can tell I'm not in a place where I can watch the boxing tonight - looks as if I was too late! Just take my Nishioka and Martinez predictions in that case, Union. Honestly had no idea any fights had started / finished when I posted, lesson learned for next week!

DOn't worry your Rees and Cunningham ones were wrong anyway! the exact same as mine GGRRR!!! Nishioka needs to knock out Marquez to pick me up again.

Nishioka will do well to knock out Vazquez he's fighting Marquez.

D'oh!!

Last week I downloaded an excellent DVD copy of the 4 Marquez vs Vasquez fights. Watched them the other night they were excellent apart from the 4th but they were shot to bits at the time.

Awesome fights complete modern classics! You just didn't know which way it was going to go next.

I lost £30 on they fights. Picked the wrong winner all 3 times.

Thats some seriously bad luck! I rarely bet on fights that I feel are complete 50 - 50s

1. Sergio Gabriel Martinez Late KO

3. Toshiaki Nishioka Late KO
4. Gavin Rees UD
5. Jonathan Oquiendo UD

Damn, I got all the right winners but messed up the KO's and UD's. Nevermind. Should keep me in the top 4

The fights were just awful for me this week 5 points... Grr...

I got 9.

4 for Martinez late KO

4 for Nishioka UD

1 for Rees



Should have got 4 for Cunninghm as well but he got shafted!

I thought Rees was a draw? I should have got 4 for Cunningham but also was shafted. I picked Nishioka late!! GR! If not then I got 1 point for Rees, unsure about that Rees win what happened? I can't stand watching him fight.

Rees was a draw according to boxrec (I was also checking my progress), so I think that's a big fat 0 all around...

Sorry I forgot that was a draw for some reason I thought they went to the scorecards.

I got 8 then. Think most got shafted on Cunningham. Any one who picked Hernandez should get 0 points.

Haha, I'd agree with that policy, I had him by UD but would have at least gotten a point for a stoppage!

Cunningham - Hernandez was such an annoying fight...

Have to disagree Kev, as I correctly predicted a Hernandez SD I'm due 4 points. Also Martinez LKO and A Nishioka win means I got 9 points.

prettyboykev wrote: Any one who picked Hernandez should get 0 points.

That's just bitter!! I need all the help I can get, so I'll take the point I earned from this!

Haha I knew some one would disagree!

All joking aside that was a horrible way for someone to lose a title.

This thread should be made a sticky.

Results are in!

Out of the relegation zone, come on

Sweet! Champions League Spot!

Oh dear Union

Championship here I come

Shouldn't you be predictor of the week union?

Did well to get a point.

I was taken in by Trussman's Barker / Honeyghan comparison...
