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.

i'm not sure if these fights have started but if they have then disregard them.

Cheers

The Karl Place fight didn't take place... dammit!

Well done Union. Small gripe here though. I think Genius of PBF should get predictor of the week award. It was a good performance from compelling and rich but the award hasn't always gone to the highest scorer (see Michaels for getting 3 points in season one) and PBF managed to go from the drop zone to mid-table in one week. I have a feeling that our resident fantasist would actually take some genuine pride in it as well.

Wonder if jeff will offer his congratulations to me for avoiding the drop?

Thanks for seeing this through Union. And congratulations to Eyetoldyouso. Biggest surprise for me is me staying in the Premier should you choose to continue!!

dont you dare take it away from me union, its my first one and about bloody time to. place did fight aswell and got a UD like i predicted shame it wasnt the same oppenent or else it would have been 4 out of 4 spot on.

bout the only good thing thats happened to me after this weekend (united fan), i'll take fourth after the start i made. cheers for the hard work union

He won't change it c&r, he never does. Your award will be safe. It was a great performance and congratulations to you, I was merely trying to help PBF out, he takes it ever so seriously and it would be one of his proudest ever nights.

It is stated in YOUR rules that the first selections are final so my out burst on Friday is irrelevant. I trust you'll amend the table in time.

Too many witnesses saw that you had pulled out, Sean, so Union has every right to respect your wishes from Friday. Perhaps a "I was a little rash on Friday. Could you re-instate me, please" type of approach might actually give you a better chance at success.

Union doesn't apply common sense to this league so his rules must be adhered to at all times.

Enjoy the Championship

24th!!! Well i would just like everyone to know that i broke my back, its spinal, i was doing my sit ups, 2500 a day with my 20 pound weight when i couldnt move anymore and also i was winning the 2nd round by a country mile before this

No mas, don't you hate it when that happens!!

bhb001 wrote:Enjoy the Championship

I shall if Union persists with this incompetence.

I don't know if I'm disappointed for finishing second or pleased that I didn't get relegated.

bhb001 wrote:No mas, don't you hate it when that happens!!

It is an inconvenience, so i think due to my bravery and warrior like will to continue i should be granted 20 extra points and promotion to the premier league

I think we should rename knowsit as "Greg Norman"..... Seemingly in control coming down the stretch only to drop a brick and bottle it.

I wonder how Rowley will take the news that Tino has avoided relegation...

Gladly Tina, am actually happy you did it, gives us chance to lock horns again next season.

That's very gracious of you jeffrey, thanks.

Union

I reckon for next season you should have at least two backup fights just incase one becomes void. Think one fight has been void every week bar one

Mind the windows Tino. wrote:That's very gracious of you jeffrey, thanks.

Not a problem Tina, my ticket related good mood is still holding up.

Union, surely you go on a countback of:

Number of predictor of the weeks
Highest weekly points score

If that doesn't seperate them go by number of spot on predictions.......

and if that doesnt work then, theres only one way to find out ........FIGHT!!

What drama indeed Union.

Must admit there is a hell of a lot of guess work here in my predictions for these fights, good ol' Boxrec....

2. Ryuji Hara, Points, UD
3. Li Wen Yang. KO, Late
4. Ryuji Fujii, KO, Late

Woo! I was numero unobserved in the Championship! Now its time to school you fools in the Premiership!

Good season boys, don't think I'll do as well next time though.

Good work Union.

Thanks Union for running this
It has come as a complete surprise to win this prestigious event and want to thank my manager, agent, sponsors, mother, dog blah blah blah blah
I am prepared to consider offers for my lucky coin.

Congratulations on both your victory and showing an ability to win such a thing with grace and humility, a refreshing change.

Nothing uglier than a sore loser.

Will I get a runners up medal or something Union? I expect no cost to be spared to commemorate my glorious season.

P.S. Well done Eyetoldyouso

Michaels, you have nothing to moan about. You got the Hopkins fight wrong, deal with it. Do let us all know what the championship feels like, please.

jeff, you really are in a good mood today. Congratulating me, congratulating the winners. It's a refreshing change.

Makes me feel a bit uneasy though.

Like my wife. I worry when she is nice, as she is bottling up trouble for later on!!

I fear you are right bhb. I am expecting the backlash any day soon, as we don't normally like each other.

That's a strange stance coming from the slug who was in 100% agreement with me on Friday. I'd hazard a guess it will be very similar to the premiership but will let you know..

With the biggest fight of the coming weekend being 45 year old Howard "The Battersea Bomber" Eastman fighting for the vacant Guyanese middleweight title, it seems that the boxing gods are telling me to take a break.

Season 3 will begin next week.

I just tend to judge how the argument is stacked up and then change sides whomever is winning it.

You really don't have to be so rude to me though.
