To fill the gap between now and Season 4 of the UCPL which starts in January, I am going to run another "Prediction Cup" knockout tournament.

You can get a taste of the fun that lies ahead by looking back at the original UCPL Cup Event by clicking here

The Entrants Make themselves known:

Round 1:

First up, Round 1.

The draw has been made, and is thus :

AlexHuckerby	18	vs	4	Il Gialloblu
Adam D	19	vs	0	John Bloody Wayne
coxy0001	12	vs	5	spencerclarke
Mind the windows Tino.	15	vs	0	md_fan
ermietrude	0	vs	9	tomfinneywalksonwater
alma	12	vs	13	The genius of PBF
The Galveston Giant	28	vs	22	Knowsit17
owen10ozzy	14	vs	0	ian_jamsie
Unbeatable Georgey Groves	10	vs	11	tommyhearnsprodigalson
88Chris05	0	vs	8	JB_Jimbop
Soldier_Of_Fortune	8	vs	7	ShahenshahG
bellchees	20	vs	11	djlovesyou
sodhat	15	vs	12	JDizzle
rowley	15	vs	13	oxring
jamesedwardcox	12	vs	0	Dass
DavidBlunkettsuppercut	12	vs	0	Steffan

The fights for Round 1 take place on the evening of Wednesday 14th December, and to that end I will require your predictions by 17:00 this evening.

Apologies for the rushed nature of this competition, I started it without realising that I finish work on the 21st and won't be able to run the competition after that. What a plum.

Anyway, fights for Round 1 are as follows :

1. Lee Selby v. John Simpson (12) Lee Selby W TKO5 (EKO)
2. Steve O'Meara v. Nathan Weise (10) Steve O'Meara W TKO1 (EKO)
3. Rey Perez v. Prell Tupas (10) Ray Perez W TD
4. Dizon Cag-ong v. Eric Rapada (10) Dizon Cag-ong W SD
5. Balweg Bangoyan v. Leonardo Doronio (10) Balweg Bangoyan W UD
6. Dino Lelis v. Salvador Layson (8) Dino Lelis W TKO1 (EKO)
7. Ernesto Saulong v. Daryl Amonico (8) Ernesto Saulong W TKO2 (EKO)
8. Ricky Sabia v. Rex Tito (8) Ricky Sabia W KO2 (EKO)
9. Alphoe Dagayloan v. Mark Joseph Costa (6) Draw
10. Ariel Curiba v. Angelito Merin (6) Angelito Merin W SD

This is just a bit of festive fun by the way and should be treated as such.

People moaning that it's not fair because they haven't heard of Balweg Bangoyan should get a sense of perspective and lighten up a bit.

Round 1 results above, it is time for...

Round 2:

ROUND 3:

SEMI FINALS:

So, we have our finalists, it's congratulations to jamesedwardcox and The Galveston Giant, some mighty impressive predicting there.

UCPL Cup 2 - The Final

The Galveston Giant

12

vs

9

jamesedwardcox

The venue for The Final this year is the Holiday Inn, Birmingham.

Spoiler:

With a bit more planning we could have arranged to have the 606v2 Boxing Christmas Party there, nice central location and all that, but it's probably a bit late to organise anything now.

1. Max Maxwell v. Rocky Chakir Max Maxwell W PTS
2. Callum Cooper v. Mark McKray Void
3. John Connelly v. Liam Griffiths Void
4. Craig Cunningham v. Duncan Cottier Craig Cunningham W PTS

5. Callum Cooper v. Liam Giffiths Callum Cooper W PTS

A veritable plethora of alliteration there.

To see the card, click here.

I will need our finalists predictions in by 17:00 tomorrow (20/12/2011).

Get predicting, and good luck!

The Results

Two of the fights didn't happen, but one fighter from each of those fights met in what turned out to be the decider, I amalgamated our guys predictions and the man who came out on top was The Galveston Giant.

Congratulations to the new UCP Cup Winner, and Merry Christmas to you all!

For every fight starting with an odd number, can I have the fighter on the right winning by EKO.

What about fight 10?

10 is an even number but starts with a 1 which is an odd number.

It's not bad luck your opponent got more points than you, that is how it works.

by Knowsit17 Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:47 am

It must sicken you that Solier_Of_Fortune has gone through with only 8 points...

Now it does, cheers for drawing my attention to that particular aspect as if I didn't have enough dolloped on my plate Shocked

Eh? Predicting is all about luck, especially yesterday's card. My predictions were second most accurate out of anybody's, only even with 1/31 odds in my favour I drew the week's highest scorer, the only guy to get higher than me.

Now I know how Tyson Gay feels.

Knowsit, if you'd gone through you'd only have choked at the semi finals stage like you do in the latter stages of the UCPL!!

And Tina, prepare to be my biatch.

You think you're unlucky I played someone who got 13 points despite not making valid predictions.

by bellchees Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:05 pm

Can't believe Knowsit17 got knocked out with the 2nd best score out of everyone.

1. Ricardo Williams Jr UD
2. Danny McDermott SD
3. Santander Salgado EKO
4. Haskell Rhodes EKO
5. Thomas Baldwin UD
6. Ian James v. Tevin Farmer DRAW
7. Danny Terrill v. Daniel Crabtree DRAW
8. Ramon Santos EKO
9. Carlos Torres LKO
10. Ryan Lopez EKO

by Knowsit17 Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:10 pm

coxy, if you'd been drawn against me you'd have been thumped, a 10-point stuffing as our scores for this week indicate. You may have maintained your 0 for now but give it time and you'll be exposed just as every luck-driven bum eventually is.

by Knowsit17 Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:14 pm

At least you won.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:15 pm

Don't worry, Knowsit, I will expose the sackless cretin in the next round.

And Union, I am classing 10 as an even number, although I assume you're just been awkward anyway.

by The Galveston Giant Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:15 pm

Sorry Knowsit i nailed a draw this week. Funny enough i was put out the first round of the last cup with the second highest score.

by Knowsit17 Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:33 pm

I got the same draw as you GG, it's in certain other fights that you bested me. Can hardly complain with anything but ill luck as I said. Fair play, 28 is a tremendous score and good luck in the next round thumbsup

by The genius of PBF Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:39 pm

Knocked out the defending champion...Coxy and Knowsit only great predictors win things...Maybe Union can give you both the wooden spoon award.

by tommyhearnsprodigalson Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:40 pm

Whoops missed one

Ryan Lopez EKO

by AlexHuckerby Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:41 pm

I must defend our honor, I must defeat Adam D!

If you don't i'd suggest never coming back.

You're representing the mere mortals against the evil admins, don't let us down. I expect you to do 5 hours of research and not just guess.

Win and you'll be a hero to us all, lose and you may as well never come back.

by The Galveston Giant Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:46 pm

Extremely unlucky mate, 22 points was a great score, as you say if you'd have been up against anyone else you'd be through.

It must sicken you that Solier_Of_Fortune has gone through with only 8 points...

Luck of the draw though, I'm afraid!

Haha very lucky indeed

Post your predictions for round 1 now Chris, am sure Union will still accept them, fairly easy going attitude to such things as the rules this time round.
