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.

Really scraping the barrell this week Union, you do know you've got Cayo vs Peterson this Friday? More worthy than the random AJ Banal pointless fight... but anyway, am just timing my assault on the leader once we hit the hills.

by Rowley Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:08 am

1. Jamie Barboza v. Brian Magee (12) Magee late KO
2. Derry Mathews v. Stephen Jennings (10) Matthews PTS
3. Mike Alvorado v. Gabriel Martinez (10) Alvorado PTS
4. A J Banal v. Tyson Cave (12) Banal Late KO
5. Muhammad Rachman v. Pornsawan Porpramook (12) Rachman UD

It's a grim bottom of the barrel scraping affair this week.

going out on a limb to claw some points back

by Knowsit17 Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:36 pm

"Shrinking steadily"? I beg to differ. My sizeable deficit of 12 points ahead shrunk to only 11 this week! Oh the catastrophe, at this rate I can only afford to lose every other round remaining if the gap closes by a point per round... Crying or Very sad

My preds to come later

Damn right Coxy, styles make predictions.

by Knowsit17 Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:28 pm

Fair enough, I'll happily embrace the role of gallant winner for now if it'll encourage the young ruffians to gather and witness a pro at work
