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.

Union Cane's Prediction Cup

Are you asking me nicely to stop posting on here until you have finalised the play-off's, Union.

Not sure you deserve that courtesy to be honest.

Such a sensitive soul aren't you Tino.

I admire that in a man.

Union Cane wrote:Such a sensitive soul aren't you Tino.

Thanks.

I will take that as an apology.

It is no less than you deserve.

You know Gavin is fighting Friday Union?

Prizefighter Saturday, could be a special one off tournament.

A Prizefighter Prediction Tournament sounds fun, fancy organising it Scott?

I'm rather busy with work stuff this week, otherwise I would of course have done it myself.

I'll let you use the UCPL brand though if it will help.

Is that the UCPL Brand that cheated me?

That's the one.

Scott's gone very quiet, is he busy putting together the Prizefighter Prediction Tournament or is he playing war-games?

Neither I'm 'baiting coxy' (presenting a valid point).

Do they not do the draw in the ring now on Prizefighters? If so have to think this would make the prediction competition a logistical nightmare.

Oh yeah. That's all my hard work scuppered.

Play off fights will be taking place shortly, available to watch on Fox Sports Australia, should you happen to be in Australia with access to a TV.

I'll be watching it on Boxrec.

What you said is akin to withdrawing after a few seconds of being in bed with Kelly Brook and then complaining you didn't get to spread the man fluid.

Boxrec open on the work pc and ready to go, good luck 6oldenbhoy!

Ill try and keep up to date on my phone. Best of luck ermietrude.

getting a bit touchy feely in here...

'Friday Night Fights' on Fox Sports 2 HD is on from 8pm to 10:30pm Sydney time, so that would be 10:00am to 12:30pm UK time.

Expect the results to start coming in any time now...

Congratulations Eyetoldyouso. Well played, sir.

Thanks Union for running a Great League.

Sorry about missing your predictions for the last week Rob, i think you would have finished third, i didn't see them until the Sunday, i'm glad you wouldn't have won or got relegated or i would have felt terrible.

Why are you sorry? Have we an alias man sausage up?!!?!?

Was thinking the same

I think they do a prediction league on another site.

I don't know what is going on here, did I miss somebody's predictions or something?

Why is GG pretending to be me?

What is going on?

See my post above. Rob has his own website.

Why are they discussing it here then? I'm lost.

Union Cane wrote:Why are they discussing it here then? I'm lost.

With you Union, I am pretty much constantly baffled but this is perplexing in the extreme.

Cut out the act Union, you've been caught.

trottb wrote:Cut out the act Union, you've been caught.

Caught? Eh? I've checked back and WDR didn't post any predictions for Week 5, this is even more baffling than the fact that there are no results for the Play-Off fights yet.

So Union Cane is Galveston Giant's WUM account?

It is a bit of an annoyance. I was expecting results every 20 minutes or so. Looks like we'll get them in one block.

That's the way I see it Scott

Sorry for the confusion. I couldn't access this site via my phone last Friday, so sent my picks to Galveston on another site and asked if he would post them here. But he read the message too late.

Its Oranges fault for not letting me view the HTML version of this site. You need to be 18 according to them to log into 606v2.

Makes sense now, thanks for clearing that up!

Are you sure you didn't run out of credit?

The results are in, have we drawn again? Looks like it at first glance....

Actually i think it's going to be decided by what round Shannon King scored his knockout victory, whether early or late....

Unbelievable.

As I had said I wasn't counting U's or S's or M's for points decisions, we have another tie, 10 points each.

The only thing that could possibly split them was the timing of Shannon King's knockout victory, with ermietrude picking Late and 6oldenbhoy picking Early.

Boxrec reports it as a TKO?, round unknown.

Unprecedented scenes here at UCPL HQ.

If it's a draw, I'll happily let ermitrude's previous point stand, granting him promotion.

6oldenbhoy wrote:If it's a draw, I'll happily let ermitrude's previous point stand, granting him promotion.

I wouldn't want to speak on behalf of ermietrude, but I'm certain he wouldn't be happy to be promoted 'by default' as it were.

Given the exceptional circumstances, I have decided that Season 3's Premiership will have 21 places, you are both promoted.

Congratulations.

Michaels will be pleased at this 21 team premiership...

sodhat wrote:Michaels will be pleased at this 21 team premiership...

This is brilliant. Michaels is going to be livid.

Good work, Union.

Cheers Union, makes sense i think as doesn't look like we are going to be split on predictions at the moment.

Excellent result. Well done to you both.

Yes I am in my mid 30's but haven't switched the stupid Orange Safeguard off. Apparently you need to be 18 to view the Health Lottery site aswell.
