FightBeat Prediction League. End of Rounds Nine and Ten. Results and standings...

First off - Many, many apologies to you all, I have had some issues to sort out recently, as well as shit connection and the board being slow, has meant updates have been taking way too long to get up here, and I can only apologise for this. I know alot of you have been waiting ages for these to get posted and it isn't cool at all for me to take so long, so again, very sorry.

Well, getting to it, 1 fight was called off in round 9, and 2 were called off in round 10. These were the Yordan fight, and of course the Chagaev - Valuev and Bundu - Shabani fights. I say the Yordan fight, I was sure as hell I saw a result on fightnews, but no record of it on boxrec? So if I am wrong with that one please let me know.

Predictors of the round for round 9 are ILLUMINATI and Matchup_Analyzer, who both scored 26 points, with key predictions being Barker KO 4 for Matchup_Analyzer and Marquez KO 3 for ILLUMINATI. So well done to those two...however! Whats strange is that the two top scorers for that round were in the bottom 3 lowest scorers for Round 10!, with ILLUMINATI scoring 9 and Matchup_Analyzer just 3. Far and away the best predictor of round 10 was our competition leader Salaco with a fantastic 23 points! The Cintron prediction being key, this stretches his lead at the top of the table with just two rounds to go to 21 points over second place Pagan, who along with *Z* had excellent scoring rounds, but Salaco looks to be hitting the pace at just the right time! The Championship rounds are key! Will it be enough? 21 points while comfortable, is by no means safe! The chasing pack are all very close to each other so any one could snatch it from Salacos grasp at this point! Will be very interesting!

Anyway, have a butchers at this:

​

cdogg187 and adamiw did not post in these rounds, TKO missed round 9 (if I am wrong please let me know mate), 3OG, our resident boxer/debutant only posted a prediction for the Berto fight, so missed out on points in the other bouts.

Again, very sorry for the delay in getting this up.

Just to let you guys know, there are NO PREDICTIONS this weekend, the fights aren't that great, and it would make more sense to end the league on Cotto/Clottey and Klitschko/Haye. Also, for the last 2 rounds, Friday night fights WILL be included. Please bear this in mind when posting your predictions.

As always, thanks to everyone who took part, and if I posted your predictions up wrong or left you out please let me know, there were alot of points to tally up but I am pretty sure I got them all right, check though if you are not sure. Other than that, see you in round 11!

I must say that Salaco is doing one hell of a job here. Nice job bro, you're making it hard to catch up!
