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.

John Paul Mendy v. Lucian Bute (Bute KO Mid Rounds)
Urbano Antillon v. Brandon Rios (Rios UD)
Rico Ramos v. Akifumi Shimoda (Ramos UD)

Early (1-6) or Late (7-12)

Cheers

My bad mate,I only just stumbled across this thread.

Erislandy Lara v. Paul Williams (Williams Late TKO )

Lucian Bute UD
Brandon Rios LKO

Anyone else?

Can I join, please? Will probably be useless.

How does the points scoring work?

Think after a week there should be a cut off point... like the Scottish premier soccer league has at the end of the season..

Only the top two should be allowed to play!!!! 8)

Course you can, you won't be half as useless as a lot of them to be honest.

Rios TKO 10
Bute TKO/KO 4 fighting bums again
Williams - Comfortable UD

Still not updated haha, slower than a dodgy ebay seller

Jeezus, am I dreaming or did I just get almost all my preds spot on?!

If so, my lead at the top of the table continues to stretch

Union, get a shift on. You had all of yesterday to do this, it just simply isn't good enough.

And knowsit i fully expect you to shoot your load early and after being the pace setter to fall back into mid field mediocrity

Now updated...

Bloody hell Union I'm pushing for a European place, just wait till I get a week when I have heard of more than two of the fighters, that is when I make my charge for glory.

I don't think Burley v Charles and Jeffries v Corbett are ever going to be up for consideration though.

Just as well, i'd pick Burley by early KO, which their previous fights would suggest is unlikely.

Hmm, maybe I could do some kind of 'reverse prediction' thread...???

1. John Murray v. Kevin Mitchell (12) Mitchell PTS
2. Ricky Burns v. Nicky Cook (12) Burns PTS
3. Lee Purdy v. Craig Watson (12) Purdy PTS
4. Juan Manuel Marquez v. Likar Ramos (10) Marquez early KO
5. Marco Huck v. Hugo Hernan Garay (12) Huck LKO

John Murray UD
Ricky Burns LATE
Lee Purdy LATE
Juan Manuel Marquez EARLY
Marco Huck UD

We don't do MIDs coxy, EARLY or LATE please.

(Perhaps I should post the rules at the top...)

Kevin Mitchell UD
Ricky Burns UD
Lee Purdy UD
Juan Manuel Marquez LKO
Marco Huck LKO

Cheers Union.

What did you do with my mid on the prediction week gone then? Think i had a mid, i'm going to assume (seeing as though you never informed me otherwise) that you've given me full points?

Amended by correct predictions to be even more correct.

It's not rocket science Coxy, either shape up or ship out. But be warned if people don't play properly Union may decide it isn't worth the hassle and return to the reverse linear threads, do you really want to be responsible for that happening? DO YOU?

I have mentioned it plenty of times on here, flower.

You had Rios mid, round 3 isn't mid in anyone's book so just the 2 points there.

If you'd asked me to amend i'd have said early, therefore i want full points. Don't make me take you to court sunshine.

And Rowley - back in that cage NOW!

Murray (SD)
Burns (LKO)
Purdy (LKO)
Marquez (EKO)
Huck (UD)

Union, seeing as I am making the effort to contribute to your thread, can you please make the effort to get my username correct? There is a full-stop after Tino.

All my love,
MTWT
