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.

Oh sorry.

Just found their World Rankings page...

Excellent.

by **Union Cane** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:46 am

I've emailed their Press Officer as well now, hopefully that will yield fruit.

by Scottrf Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:47 am

In French?

by **Union Cane** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 11:51 am

No, in English. I think it is just Claude that speaks French, what with him being from DR Congo.

The UBO has offices in Germany, USA, Tanzania and New Caledonia, so I'm presuming they have English speakers amongst them.

Just got the following reply from the UBO Press Office :

"Dear Sir.

Unfortunately this fight was cancelled at the last minute. I am sorry if it messed up your league, but as you know these things happen.

Fantastic stuff.

by Rowley Mon 08 Aug 2011, 1:01 pm

Quality Union, not for my pitiful showing this week but excellent you got a response

by Super D Boon Mon 08 Aug 2011, 1:14 pm

I'm bottom of the league but the only way is up!

by Mind the windows Tino. Mon 08 Aug 2011, 1:16 pm

BABY, for you and me now.

by Super D Boon Mon 08 Aug 2011, 1:19 pm

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! won't be long yeah yeah baby!

by Knowsit17 Mon 08 Aug 2011, 4:04 pm

Another table-topping week. And even if it is destined to be lost I can at least take comfort from the fact that six weeks and bad luck on my behalf were required to whittle it all the way down. Of course if it were not for the Lukusa fight being cancelled I could have reclaimed an 11-point deficit

by **Union Cane** Mon 08 Aug 2011, 4:44 pm

I'll be the first to predict then shall I?

You're lucky Towser is not still around, looks like he may have had a point all along about the slipshod way you run this competition.

by Rowley Tue 09 Aug 2011, 1:24 pm

Just struck me the unforseen circumstances may be something bad, feel a bit bad about my post now, hope it is nothing serious Union.
