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.

One hour to go, I think saturation point has been reached as this is the first week where there have been no new entrants.

Are you ok to remove me from this competition as I dont play anymore

Cheers

I'd have thought you'd have been trying to get yourself up into the Premier League like your Abertawe boys...

As you don't play any more you'll gently drift down the table and disappear once the season is over.

Havnt had the time recently with a bit of work on and getting uni stuff ready. Plus I been away down Pembroke a fair amount

That's five o'clock then, no more entries will be accepted.

The scramble for Premiership places is hotting up, some at the bottom of the top half haven't predicted, while those near the top of the bottom half have.

good news for me then, especially now hatton has won UD

How many weeks are left? I',m trying to work out if I can finish respectably!

think he said 15 weeks, it can all change in a heart beat, predict 5 draws and thats 50 points

12 Weeks all in

2 draws this week

Lo0ks like the second match didn't take place, which basically leaves 2 scoring matches, unless, of course, someone put all draws, where he will get 20 points this week!!

Which were the draws? All I can see is the Studer fight.

Studer and Guzman.

Results are in...

Union, thanks for the prompt update. Predictions as follows: -

1. Povetkin, KO, Late
2. Helenius, KO, late
3. Oliva, Pts, UD
4. Singawancha, Pts, UD
5. Andrade, KO, Late

I have emailed the WBO (it was a WBO Latino title fight) about the Brazilian bout, should hopefully hear back later this afternoon.

Maybe if you didn't pick such obscure fights this might stop happening......

Two draws when I stopped picking draws every fight?

Union, I would suggest the trout stays at the bottom of the pond this time, no matter how tasty the bait

I'm not biting. He's just grumpy because he can't catch Knowsit, and he knows it.

Only 5 points behind, i'm merely forming my final charge from the pelaton where i shall streak to glory thus confirming me as being the most brilliant poster on here

Dear god, if there was only you Ralphy and Shah on here you'd struggle to make the top three.

No word yet from the WBO.

At least the UBO came back to me.

Just contact Frank Warren direct.

Not sure he's involved in the Latino side of things. No harm in asking though, do you have his email address?

Union, I have a source who happens to be high up in the echelons of the WBO.

They told me that de Oliveira won by second round TKO.

You can thank me later.

Bouncing back as 'undeliverable'

Union, I have told you the result, don't be so bloody rude.

I am merely seeking confirmation of what you have told me, don't be so defensive.

I've submitted a query via frankwarren.tv's 'contact us' facility, so hopefully they will confirm your version of events.

I'm sure Frank will appreciate it and not try to sue you.

Did you call it the Warren Boxing Organisation?

No, I was courteous and respectful. But you would of course expect me to be nothing else.

Not so my friend, 'Predictor of the Week' is entirely subjective, a bit like 'Manager of the Month', it is not automatically awarded to the highest scorer.

Here you go Mr Crane, you gargoyle.

1. Alexander Povetkin v. Ruslan Chagaev: Povetkin UD
2. Robert Helenius v. Siarhei Liakhovich: Helenius LKO
3. Ulises Solis v. Jether Oliva: Solis UD
