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

Union, why am I in the relegation zone already? Please arrange them alphabetically, and if I'm still there, turn it upside down.

Many thanks, Michaels.

Season 2...?

Already?

Do we not get a winter break?!?!?!?!

I was considering a break but then saw that Sprott is fighting Dimitrenko. I could not deny you all the opportunity to predict the outcome of that potential FOTY contender.

Union, after being angry with myself for never getting involved last season, count me in. It's a shame I'll be starting off in the Championship - look out you Premiership boys, I'll be seeing you in a few weeks! (Kiss of death).

Cheers.

Guess am I the Championship?

When did Edwin Valero win on Pts? Bad Example!

Alexander Dimitrenko KO Late
Gary Buckland Pts UD
Rendall Munroe Pts UD
Kaizer Mabuza Pts UD
Raul Martinez Pts UD

Alexander Dimitrenko EKO
Gary Sykes UD
Rendall Munroe UD
Kaizer Mabuza UD
Raul Martinez UD

The above predictions feel hollow, i'm too spent from a long season to give it my all.

Providing i don't have any busy weeks/get banned in the next 5 weeks i'm sure i'll win anyway...

Alexander Dimitrenko, KO late
Gary Buckland, Unanimous Decision
Rendall Munroe, Unanimous Decision
Kaizer Mabuza, Split Decision
Raul Martinez, Unanimous Decision

Cheers Union!

No can do I'm afraid, Champ.

It's a mandatory defence, if you get no points you'll finish bottom, and then be but a distant memory in Season 3.

My exclusion from the Championship table is scandalous I finished 23rd! .

I'm sure I read somewhere that "Nobody is automatically entered into the Championship, anyone can enter, simply post your predictions to take part, using the format detailed below."

As usual my reading of fine print is shocking.

That's how I had to let my Russian internet lady out the basement I never knew you had to feed them!

Good scorecards on the first Martinez v Guerrero fight. 2 in favour of Martinez scoring it 115-113. 'Woman' Judge had it 117-111 for Guerrero. He obviously had the nicer legs......

Hell's teeth, I've created a monster...

There's still plenty of room in the Championship if anyone else fancies a go.

You're going to need leagues 1, 2 and the Blue Square premier at this rate Union.

Once that's in place, be prepared for my collapse through the divisions a'la Leeds.

I did consider it but it could get far too complicated.

An infinite number of places in the Championship seems the best way forward.
