Week Twelve Review

Dirty, cheap shot or opportunistic flash of brilliance?

Ultimately it matters not, the record books show KO4 and Mayweather moves one win away from emulating the great Joe Calzaghe.

Elsewhere there was more great entertainment from Tyson Fury, mixed fortunes for the Smith brothers and a controversial Vegas undercard, but the fight we are all interested in is the battle for the inaugural Union Cane's Prediction League title between coxy0001 and The genius of PBF.

The gauntlet was laid down by coxy0001 with an impressive haul of 12 points, however it wasn't quite enough, the boasts and bravado sounding decidedly hollow now.

Gentlemen, your Champion...

The genius of PBF

You have a fiancee?

Well....... Sort of. We've engaged for a couple of years but (I) don't really have any plans to get married for a few years yet.

Na, it's got to be a kiss. Not on the lips though, I got told off for that.

It's not cheating if you're not married.

Polite kiss on the cheek

No flirting with said best mate though, i'm not officially seeing this girl but she took a vast exception to me have a bit of a flirt with her stupidly hot friend.

Or maybe flirt and when the lass dumps you get with her best mate after a drunken night out? Seems a cracking plan.

Agony aunt coxy out.

Why the delay Sean, you do know it's legal now don't you mate?

So you've been with her at least a couple of years, yet you have never met her best mate?

Ok.

I'd say the hug / kiss combo would have been better, but beware the unwanted erection.

Union Cane wrote:So you've been with her at least a couple of years, yet you have never met her best mate?

About as believable as a coxy story.

No such thing as an unwanted erection - put it to good effect in the disabled toilet. When you get to Rowley/Windys age you'll be envious of such times.

Windy has been yearning for one of those for years.

4 years (or close). It was the quarter final of the Rugby World Cup England V Australia we first properly met. I used to go out with her younger sister in '97 who then went out with my brother.

I saw, just couldn't be bothered to edit.

Just so everyone knows, Coxy made the joke first. He is great.

Last unwanted erection I had was when somebody put scaffolding up at the house next door.

Noisy sods.

As per last week's announcement, 007 has the higher individual weekly score, 16 to your 12.

Sorry mate but them's the rules!

To be fair Eddy you're both wallowing in mid table obscurity, this is akin to arguing over who is the brightest in a special needs class.

well thats just swell, i am fuming- what happened to be the man you need to beat the man? he isnt even on the precitor of the week list, just through on a last minute rule change techincality. if we end equal and he stays above then this entire torument will have been for nothing as it will lose all its credibility

A Top 20 finish guarantees a place in the promised land of the Prediction Premiership.

It matters to people.

10 rounder round the back of the school sheds at play time. That should settle this

What happens if we remain tied going after next week?

licence_007 wrote:What happens if we remain tied going after next week?

As per the announcement last week (which nobody seems to have read) if players are tied on points then the player with the highest individual weekly score will be given the higher placing.

eddyfightfan's highest score is 12, licence_007's is 16.

It's quite simple, I don't see what all the fuss is about.

I got a reply from Moose Lewis, boss man of the IBU regarding the McCall / Cooper fight :

"The card was cancelled.
Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®"

Short and sweet, but better than nothing.

Injustice? Pardon?

Listen Edward, if there are 20 people who score more points than you then frankly you don't deserve to be in the Premiership.

Morning Union. Good to see your mood has improved today.

Loving the reply from the IBU head honcho. I don't imagine a man called Moose uses too many words when a few will do. It's a lesson some posters on here could learn from.

Morning Tino. My mood was ok until I logged on here and people are asking silly questions about things that they should already know.

Moose has brightened up my day though. The IBU are right up there with the UBO now as my favourite two organisations.

Union, I think this is a safe haven for your hijinks.....

Why hasn't this thread broken off into two yet?

Makes me feel all warm and safe when we are under Union's Prediction Thread duvet. They can't get us in here.

I feel like I will be devoured by the big beasts that roam the other threads.

Did I mention I am going to NY?

A former girlfiend (as it turned out, sic) would constantly nag me about going to NY to go Christmas Shopping, I had finally relented and was about to make the arrangements, but this was September 2001 so I had to put it off, and I have never got round to it since.

You decided to buy Jay-Z's 'The Blueprint' rather than go to New York?

So she didn't end up as your fictional wife then?

Is that aimed at me?

Is it a youth culture reference?

I'm lost...

That one didn't, no.

Check the release date.

Missus lived in NY for 3 years prior to coming home. Always bangs on about it - great place etc etc. Keep telling her I'm never going there. She doesn't believe me. Her friend is massive in the running of Major League baseball. He offered me free tickets to Calzaghe at MSG and I said no. Would have thought the penny had dropped after that.

Miserable bugger...

That's a shame Sean. You would like it, the women are beautiful. And real as well.
