First topic message reminder :

Union Cane's Prediction Cup 2



To fill the gap between now and Season 4 of the UCPL which starts in January, I am going to run another "Prediction Cup" knockout tournament.

You can get a taste of the fun that lies ahead by looking back at the original UCPL Cup Event by clicking here

The Entrants Make themselves known:

Round 1:

Round 2:

ROUND 3:

SEMI FINALS:

So, we have our finalists, it's congratulations to jamesedwardcox and The Galveston Giant, some mighty impressive predicting there.

UCPL Cup 2 - The Final

The Galveston Giant

12

vs

9

jamesedwardcox

The venue for The Final this year is the Holiday Inn, Birmingham.

Spoiler:

With a bit more planning we could have arranged to have the 606v2 Boxing Christmas Party there, nice central location and all that, but it's probably a bit late to organise anything now.

1. Max Maxwell v. Rocky Chakir Max Maxwell W PTS
2. Callum Cooper v. Mark McKray Void
3. John Connelly v. Liam Griffiths Void
4. Craig Cunningham v. Duncan Cottier Craig Cunningham W PTS

5. Callum Cooper v. Liam Giffiths Callum Cooper W PTS

A veritable plethora of alliteration there.

To see the card, click here.

I will need our finalists predictions in by 17:00 tomorrow (20/12/2011).

Get predicting, and good luck!

The Results

Two of the fights didn't happen, but one fighter from each of those fights met in what turned out to be the decider, I amalgamated our guys predictions and the man who came out on top was The Galveston Giant.

Congratulations to the new UCP Cup Winner, and Merry Christmas to you all!

Union can't be bothered to type it out, fighter on the left by UD across the board for me. Cheers

That's the spirit.

Same as rottley for me, Union.

Excellent.

Replays may be required, methinks.

Can't you cut it down to 5 fights?...Never heard of these boxers before.

That's kind of the idea...

Jesus christ Union, i wasn't exactly wrong with my imaginary boxers! "Dizon Cag-Ong"... Couldn't make it up.

Lee Selby UD
Steve O'Meara UD
Rey Perez LKO
Dizon Cag-ong EKO
Balweg Bangoyan LKO
Dino Lelis EKO
Ernesto Saulong UD
Ricky Sabia LKO
Alphoe Dagayloan UD
Ariel Curiba EKO

Why have 10 fights though?

Who on gods green earth is everyone after the first 2 fights!?

Just don't enter then if it bothers you so much.

Too late now already entered...Did the window cleaning cause your relegation?

Stop moaning then.

This is just a bit of festive fun by the way and should be treated as such.

People moaning that it's not fair because they haven't heard of Balweg Bangoyan should get a sense of perspective and lighten up a bit.

Slightly in all fairness

Have amended, was all for the first guy just forgot to delete the latter names. I gave up with boxrec as they've all got 4-17 records barring the first couple of fights.

Just wondering but howcome the big names like Froch v Ward haven't been picked?

They aren't fighting tonight.

Ohhh... I thought it was for the weekend my bad.

Fair enough Alex, I did put "The fights for Round 1 take place on the evening of Wednesday 14th December, and to that end I will require your predictions by 17:00 this evening." so I can see how you made that simple error.

I'll be honest I just skimmed down to the fights.

You're not alone, no one reads what is written, they just copy the predictions above them with minor adjustments.

Think you will beat me to be honest...Was tempted to put UD on all of them.

Copy and paste is a miraculous tool.

Thought you could of squeezed Billy Joe Saunders on there?

His opponent wasn't known when I picked the fights.

I've just started a new job Union and they haven't installed half my systems yet including my internet browser. Having to post this from phone, any chance with that being said the deadline could be 6pm, gives me enough time to get home from work and post my picks.

Certainly mate, but only because it's you.

I can't belive I once said Rowley was Robin (Burt Ward version) to your Batman Tina.

Selby UD

Perez LKO
Cag-ong MD

Saulong EKO
Tito MD

Steady on Union mate, the fearsome nature of today's card almost made me defecate involuntarily!

So infuriating knowing there'll probably be several draws but having to call them at random.

Just look to the top of this page and mine and Tina's predictions to see who leads and who follows.

Why do I get the impression you're not taking my "challenge" seriously?

Predictions coming in later - near the 5 mark - that OK union?

Just send them in whenever you want. It appears that the rules are only for show anyway.

The spirit of Michaels lives on...

That's fine Oxy me old mate.

Taking your challenge very seriously but have not heard of 90% of the fighters and as I can't access boxrec at work would be guess work, so thought I may as well save time. Also Union revealed at some point going bloke on the left ud would have meant you finished fourth in the league so obviously has some merit.
