    I don't know but hopefully he can just use the official final prediction threads and catch up with the standings.

    I'll gladly run a new one. I have a system in place on a few other sites that goes over a treat and I would be happy to install it here if people are keen.

    :lol:

    Of course he is. I mean, I'm no ATTRACTION, but FFS, it was a world title fight shown in the US and the UK. :rolleyes:

    That said, you didn't include Haye v Mac in your first week, if memory served. Or Rees v Kotelnik. Or anything else European, for that matter :dunno:

    Jaws, as much as I appreciate you putting together the comp, fights like this should be included. I see no reason why Witter is not a 'name' fighter but Bronco McCart is...:shit:

    Bronco McKart is second tier cannon fodder. The only reason that was on, and I regret ever making this gesture, is that it had some correlation with fightbeat, or so was claimed.

    I assure you I intend this competition for main event of HBO card type things only. Not poop like Junior Witter losing to someone named Timothy Bradley.

    ALSO: I added Haye, Maccarenelli...i apologize for not keeping up on the Heavy Jr. division as I should, but that was corrected.

    Its not really a euro bias, because if Joe Calzaghe/Kessler was during this competition that would've been a fight for predicting, as would Hatton/Witter if that ever happened.

    I'm just not gonna throw excrement like Witter vs. nobody on a prediction tourney.

    It's the nobody fights that seperate the real students of the sport from the pack, and I'm saying that even though I'm not one of them :lol:

    I'll start a thread tomorrow with the rules, how it works and all. See what you think.

    I usually look for 30 or so fights a month to use.

    I vote for Tam too, he'll include fights that us hardcore boxing fans will get to pick.

    What kind of a prediction contest is only HBO main event fights?

    You shouldn't include bums, but any borderline world class fight should be included, from any country, and (almost) any weight.
