FightBeat Prediction League - ROUND ONE. Khan Vs Barrera...your picks please

FightBeat Prediction League - ROUND FIVE. Williams Vs Wright...your picks please

Remember this is the first round where the Five Fight Slam bonus points are available, for more information, read below.

Well unfortunately, apart from the main event and the undercard fight, it is a quiet weekend for boxing again, so I have really had to scrape the fucking barrell this time lads, sorry about the quality of some of the latter fights, but hey, I don't make the fights, I just post them. The 3rd fight was picked because it's on TV over here, the last two were picked because they were the only two world title fights happening on saturday, it was either those or the Belgian featherweight Title fight between a bloke called Alex and another one called Rudy. Yes, it really could have been worse.

Those rules once again:

(1) You CANNOT change a prediction - I will take only your first post with your predictions, make sure and double check what you post is what you are actually predicting.

(2) No editing posts. Any evidence of editing your predictions means you're a cheating little fooker and no one likes a cheating little fooker, so you will be disqualified

(3) Please post your predictions before the deadline, in this case the deadline is saturday before 6pm, I'll go by board time.

(4) You can predict in as many rounds as you want to, leave and come back as you wish, although obviously it makes sense to post predictions every round if you want to accumalate enough points and have a decent shot at winning!

Those are the rules...Shimples!

How it works:

The points system works as follows:

3 Points for predicting the correct winner

6 Points for predicting the correct winner and the correct method of victory

10 Points for predicting the correct winner, the correct method of victory and the correct round/type of decision

20 Points for predicting a draw correctly. I will not differentuate between a standard draw and a technical draw. As long as the official result is a draw and you predicted it, you get 20 points my son. No Contests will not count as draws before anyone asks, however, if you happen to correctly predict a No Contest then I will report you to the relevant authorities, because that shit is fixed...

***NEW*** There are now a potential 75+ points available for correctly predicting all five fights 100% correct under the Five Fight Slam rule. So that means correctly predicting the right fighter, the right method of victory and the correct round/UD or SD in ALL FIVE fights. Sounds hard to do? It fucking is! But get it once and that could be all you need to win the Title!

If any of the five fights are called off and there are less than five fights in one round because of this, then the Five Fight Slam bonus will not be available, even if you predict the remaining four fights 100% exact.


For ease of tallying up everyones predictions, please don't write an essay because no one wants to read it, just keep it simple like the example below

If you pick Floyd to beat Hatton by 10th round KO put your prediction down as

Floyd KO 10 Hatton

I will make no differences between a one punch knockout, a corner stoppage, bla bla, it all comes under KO. In the event of a between rounds stoppage, I will count a correct round prediction as being the round before or after, for example, if Hattons corner pulls him out between rounds 10 and 11, anyone who predicted Floyd KO 10 Hatton or Floyd KO 11 Hatton would get 10 points.

If you pick Floyd to win a unanimous decision over Hatton, please put your prediction down as

Floyd UD Hatton

Make sure you specify as to whether its a UD or a SD as if you get it correct it will give you the full 10 points, where as just saying "Floyd wins on points" would only get you 6. For the benefit of the rules, and to not be a petty twat, there is no difference between a majority decision and a split decision in this game.

With regards to TECHNICAL DECISIONS, I have decided to keep the rule in place where a technical decision will count as the type of technical decision it is, as we had with the Khan fight in the first round, it ended in a Technical UNANIMOUS Decision, so anyone who predicted a Khan UD got 10 points.

Now onto the important stuff.....

FightBeat Prediction League - ROUND SIX. Froch Vs Taylor...your picks please

Welcome back, apologies for the delay in getting this up here, but here it is. Some very good fights this week.
