First topic message reminder :

Union Cane's Prediction Cup 2

union - Union Cane's Prediction Cup 2 - Winner - The Galveston Giant - Page 5 Ucpl_l12

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!

I could have sworn you were previously 6'1, as that is the same as me.

But as you've been 29 for six years, I don't suppose an extra inch matters much.

To be honest it's 6ft 1.75, i was last measured properly when 18 (was a smidge over 6'1) and having been measured a few months back for a new driver i was the aforementioned height.

by **oxring** Thu 15 Dec 2011, 5:06 pm

Man has skills Union.

Rowley Khan - get over to the "controversial fights" thread and argue with azania. That'll cheer you up no end.

by Knowsit17 Thu 15 Dec 2011, 5:18 pm

Close one GG, Union couldn't afford to dole out any delays this time for fear that rowley might burst into flames. But no harm done.

by sodhat Thu 15 Dec 2011, 5:50 pm

I'm late!

If they are still accepted, and judging by my opponents likely tactics I will take everyone on the left by UD.

If not, know your victory is sullied rowley!

p.s. Just think we could have Tyson vs Marciano.....

by AlexHuckerby Fri 16 Dec 2011, 4:37 pm

Truss and Onetwo have to scrap it out and we bet on it? It's a gimme isn't it...

Truss smashed the guy off his head on acid to pieces but I think he's starting to look slightly past it, but as we all know, you can never disregard a great, whereas Onetwo has been trained to kill and is currently in the top ten most dangerous men on the planet so it's a real pick 'em.

by Rowley Fri 16 Dec 2011, 4:39 pm

All depends on how much Truss has been working on his spinning back fist defence/counter, if he can neutralise this I give the beefster a real chance in this one.
