Week Five Review

The Fights

Only three fights this week, Karl Place's opponent dropped out late on, adding to Danny Williams' withdrawal earlier in the week. In the fights that did happen, Jason Booth learned the lesson that you can't go on for ever, the younger Scott Quigg really did a job on him and his career looks to be over, certainly at super bantamweight. It comes to us all eventually. In the other fights, Donaire earned a shut-out 3 x 120-108 unanimous decision, confirming his lofty P4P ranking, and Marco Huck KO'ed his opponent in 6.

The Premiership

A fantastic week for compelling and rich, who managed to get all three fights spot on, earning himself 12 points, a big jump up the table to finish in 4th place, and of course a Predictor of the Week award.

It was the same old story for Knowsit17, the Prediction League's perennial choker once again failing to hold on to a lead when it matters, a measly 4 points drops him to a 3rd place finish. Second place went to sodhat, a case of ever the bridesmaid never the bride for our Prediction Cup runner-up.

Top of the tree though is Eyetoldyouso, our new champion claiming his title with an impressive 10 point haul. I am sure you will all join me in congratulating our new champ.



It's not all happiness and joy though, as alma, Michaels, ian_jamsie, JJJohnson and, believe it or not, Union Cane have all been relegated from the Premiership.

The Championship

School Project becomes the first Championship Champion, a nine point haul this week propelling him to the top. Dass, Jdandfries and 88Chris05 will all join him in next season's Premiership, however there is drama surrounding the fifth promotion place, with 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude tied on 29 points. They can't be separated by the Highest Weekly Score criteria, both having high-scores of 9 points, so a play-off will be required. Details below...

*Update*

The Play-Offs couldn't separate 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude, so given the exceptional circumstances, I have decided that Season 3's Premiership will have 21 places, they are both promoted.

Based on your performance in last seasons campaign bhb im going to hazard a guess that in 5 weeks you may be reversing through the evolutionary chart and joining us monkeys in the championship! Well not me as my title victory will secure me your spot next time round

Missed the last 5 weeks of last season due to being out of the country - surely the only explanation for my failing to finish in a premiership spot! No such activities planned this time though, so count me back in.

Dimitrenko KO early
Buckland KO late
Munroe - KO late
Mubaza - PTS UD
Martinez - PTS UD

1. Alexander Dimitrenko EKO
2. Gary Buckland UD
3. Rendall Munroe LKO
4. Kaizer Mabuza UD
5. Raul Martinez UD

Can we split this into 2 threads? I don't really like slumming it with that championship lot.

1. Alexander Dimitrenko v. Michael Sprott (12) Dimitrenko LKO
2. Gary Sykes v. Gary Buckland (12) Sykes PTS
3. Rendall Munroe v. Ryuta Miyagi (10) Munroe LKO
4. Chris van Heerden v. Kaizer Mabuza (12) Mabuza PTS
5. Raul Martinez v. Rodrigo Guerrero (12) Martinez PTS

Don't mean to be nosey, just saving Union a bit of work. I'm worried for his mental state at the moment.

If you put PTS I'll take it as UD.

Thanks for your concern Sean.

But I'm ok.

Ish.

Ish.

Are you sure you're OK?

Union, if you could take anything I predict as pts to be UD that would be appreciate, will try and remember in future but can't make any guarantees.

Spelling errors are creeping in regularly now.

The black dog is upon my shoulder, I fear.

Hold on. I don't mean to confusculate matters but if I put PTS SD, would you assume it to be UD as I put PTS there?

No.

Definitely logic here, but I think this is definitely his last drink. Pity really, as I do rate Sprott as a good British heavy weight.

I`ll enter if i`m not too late.

Better bring your calculator to work Union.

You're too soft with them Union, this is where the problems came last season. Iron fist, my way or the highway is the order of the day this time round. No reminders, no late predictions, no negotiating what happens if a fight is cancelled, no predictions by PM. People will fall in line and respect you for it long term.

I agree, henceforth why none of the above are having had of happened.

Why is there a runner up section?...no one remembers the losers
