FightBeat Prediction League. End of Round Four - Results and standings...(NEW RULE)

Well, it has been an exceptionally high scoring Round this week, I questioned in the last round, how long it would take for someone to break the 30 point barrier for points scored in one round, not only was that done this round (by 9 people!), but four of you even surpassed the 40 point mark! So congrats to those.

Predictor of the round was whiskey, who scored a whopping 46 points! Basically that means he predicted four of the five fights 100% correct, and was only off on the KO round in the Valero fight. Absolutely exceptional :bears: :bears: Take a bow son, it's well deserved, what's more it moves you up from 8th to 4th, quite a jump.

Also, because of whiskeys high score this round, it got me thinking, no one so far has predicted five correct fights in one round yet. This would be a big achievement and as an added incentive for doing this I have decided from the next round on, we will have the Five Fight Slam Bonus. Correctly predicting all five fights (as in fighter, method of victory AND correct round/UD or SD) would normally generate you a cool 50 points, however as you would have achieved the Five Fight Slam Bonus you would pick up an EXTRA 25 points, so getting all five fights right, is now worth 75 POINTS! which can serve to propell you from mid-table mediocrity to sudden surprise title challenger, it will also serve to keep things interesting for everyone, as no one is out of the title race, and it will also get you to put more effort into getting your predictions correct. Also remember, the total could potentially be even higher than 75 points if you correctly predict a draw in a Five Fight Slam as well! Remember, this is for predicting ALL five fights 100% correct, so Correct fighter, Correct method of victory AND correct round/UD or SD

Now as for the table, some big movers and shakers, I questioned whether Salaco had what it took to keep himself in the Title race as he dropped down from 2nd to 3rd last round, as Reed looked to up the pace. How things have changed! Salaco scored a massive 42 points this round, putting himself back in 2nd spot, while Pagan also scored 42, and coupled with whiskeys 46, these two take up the 3rd and 4th places respectively, whilst Reed, who could only score 28 points this round, finds himself slipping to 5th place!

Of course, the biggest round of applause, yet again, goes to *Z* who ALSO scored 42 points! Keeping his record of 20+ points scored every round! *Z* also was the first poster to move past the 100 point mark in the league table this week, with 109 points, and holds an 18 point advantage over 2nd place Salaco. However, I'm sure he will be aware now that with the new Five Fight Slam rule in place, he can't afford to relax, as any of the trailing pack could land that potential knockout blow and stage a Joe Louis-Billy Conn type recovery and usurp *Z* at the top of the tree! Of course, that also means *Z* himself could do the same thing and KO the rest of the competition in the same way! Either way, it will be interesting!

I'm the Julio Cesar Chavez of these things. Start slow, but i'll grind and punish everyone as each round passes. artie:

 

Unfortunately I missed last week.

I scored pretty well this week, but in all honesty, it was a fucking easy night of fights to predict.

The only result I got wrong was Katsidis - Chavez going the distance. Whiskey got almost everything right, good on you Whisk.

 

Blow mE.

 

I'm sorry you scored last this round mikE, but honestly, every fight on the card was easy to predict ::

 

what u think of the five fight slam badboys

 

Good Idea...


REED:hammert:

 

Yep, I think it's good. With a couple of slams it could create a huge disparity in the table, but predicting 5 fights correctly is not easy, so why not give a big reward.

If we're talking the exact round too, it's going to be pretty fucking rare for someone to get this bonus.

 

Sounds good to me. I was 4 rounds off from a perfect week.

I had Valero KO 1 and Katsidis KO 5!

So close!

 

yea i saw! you, pagan, whiskey and salaco were all really unlucky.

i doubt anyone will get it this round though, apart from williams-wright and the arreola fight, there are no big names fighting, so unless you're familiar with strawweights and japanese fighters im expecting the scores to be around the 25-30 range this time out.

 

thats true mate, you had a really good round last time out as well. the thing is it keeps it interesting dont it, so anyone who is within range can pull it out the bag with one great week.

as i said in my previous post, i really doubt anyones gonna get it this week though
