Union Cane's Prediction League

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week Eleven Results

1. Vitali Klitschko v. Tomasz Adamek (12)	Vitali Klitschko TKO 10 (LKO)
2. Yuriorkis Gamboa v. Daniel Ponce de Leon (12)	Yuriorkis Gamboa TD 8 (LKO)
3. Paul McCloskey v. Breidis Prescott (12)	Paul McCloskey UD
4. Juan Carlos Salgado v. Argenis Mendez (12)	Juan Carlos Salgado UD
~~5. Oliver McCall v. Bert Cooper (10)~~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week Eleven Review

Tomasz Adamek is a two-weight world champion, and therefore clearly no mug, but he was no match for Vitali Klitschko. Simply too small to compete, Adamek did well to last as long as he did but was never going to beat the bigger man.

Paul McCloskey should change his name to McLucky, after a terrible start he somehow managed to turn things round (helped no doubt by the home crowd cheering every punch he threw, let alone landed) and get a controversial decision against Breidis Prescott.

Some very high scores this week, even without the McCall / Cooper result, ~~which is not in yet.~~ which is now a voided fight.

When will I learn not to use fights from these back-water third-world countries?

'Predictor of the Week' is a tricky one this week, with Mind the windows Tino., alma, licence_007 and Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn all getting all four fights spot on and amassing 16 points each. As it's impossible to split them, this week's award goes to Michaels, Sean, who, despite all the points on offer, still only managed a paltry 3 points. Took some doing that, well done Sean.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scoring and Rules

For any newcomers and the forgetful, scoring and rules as follows :

Predict the winner - 1 point

- Predict the method (KO*/Pts) - 1 point

- - Predict Early / Late (for KO) or Unanimous / Split / Majority (for Pts) - 1 point

Get all three above correct - 1 bonus point

10 points will be awarded for correctly predicting a draw.

*TKO, DQ, TD or Retirement all count as KO

I will list fights 1 - 5, this list will be definitive, when predicting please list fights in the same order.

Any entries that are subsequently amended will be void.

If a fight is cancelled, or if a fighter drops out and is replaced, that fight is then void.

I think that just about covers it, any questions feel free to ask.

TOO LONG

by **Union Cane** Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:27 am

I aim to have results published (also with an updated league table, a feature that not all prediction leagues have) by 10:00am on the Monday. This is, in fact, less than one and a half days from the end of the fights, so earlier claims that it took two days are clearly hogwash. As mentioned earlier in the week, if this is not acceptable please amuse yourself throughout Sunday by watching the scrolly thing at the top there.

by Rowley Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:29 am

No Alma it is just plain wrong, having to wait a day and half for the results of a competition that carries no prize whatsoever is unacceptable. I have informed the mods, think Union can expect to be finding himself a new forum pretty soon.

by Mind the windows Tino. Wed 13 Jul 2011, 9:29 am

No need to get so cross Union. I would hate for you to end up like the other prediction league creator.

Why are you not doing the Gavin and Bellew fights?

If I had my way I would, but coxy said I was only allowed to do 5 fights per week.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Thu 14 Jul 2011, 4:15 pm

He gave me grief about that as well. I just put on every decent fight I found but some hadn't heard of a lot of my picks, especially the lower weight fights that took place in Asia and Mexico.

by **Union Cane** Thu 14 Jul 2011, 4:22 pm

That's what he was moaning about. In week one I originally had these fights :

6. Jorge Paez Jr v. Jesus Gurrola (10)
7. Katia Gutierrez v. Ana Arrazola (10)
8. Hernan Marquez v. Edrin Dapudong (12)
9. Maxim Smirnov v. Khabib Allakherdiev ( 8 )
10. Fariz Kazimov v. Dmitry Mikhaylenko (12)

...but nobody had heard of them apparently.

Not a problem for me Union. I have come around to the merits of your thread after a slow start, only to see it hijacked by PBF.

Shameful stuff, you must feel deeply violated.

Serves you right for actually having a life though.

Jeff, putting 3 exclamation marks is almost, and I stress almost, as annoying as L*L and the rest. You're better than that.

One will do fine!

by Rowley Mon 18 Jul 2011, 9:32 am

You are right Tino but am well happy with my place, am really trying to maintain an aloof air of indifference but is proving a little beyond me. On the back of how much grief Truss gave me for my Rhodes prediction (deserved I might add) being the bigger man is far from easy.

I think it warrants a (nother) ban!

I personally like seeing my name up in the champions league places on Monday morning.

It's like a father christmas impersonator delivering presents on 23rd December thus ruining many childrens christmas. It's just not on.
