Come on guys get predicting. Let's see if J can hold onto his title.

Seven fights to predict in week one.

Tell your friends let's have a brilliant contest this time round.

I haven't changed anything about the league, but I am adding a couple of different features throughout the season.

So come on and predict at http://www.boxingpredictions.net

It's my first time on the prediction league, so just out of curiousity, who else from this forum is taking part?

Hi guys. Saw this today and thought I'd give it a go.

But.... (and this may seem really thick, for which I apologise in advance):

The manner/method of stoppage: is it presented in classic British format, you know, like RSF means "stopped by referee on his feet, including those results due to a cut", and TKO means "the three knockdown rule has been invoked, or the ref waved off the fight while one guy was on the deck"? Or have they got slightly different meanings for the purposes of this competition?

I'm sorry if this seems a little niggly -- hey, I ask only out of enlightened interest, not for personal gain! -- and I've actually voted anyway, so it's not going to affect the way I select potential winners/results.

PS: I did look around on the site, but I'm meant to be working so it was brief; apologies if this is covered somewhere on there.

Basically it's because it runs from my other site .

The only real choices are PTS win or Stoppage/KO so it doesn't matter if you choose KO/TKO or RSF it will still get the same points

We are going to take them out but we have been busy working on changes to BBN so haven't had the chance to take out the extra options as yet

I thought RSF was Referee stopped fight and TKO was Technical Knock Out.

Although aren't these two the same thing???

I am confused!

kevin · Post by **kevin** » 27 May 2005, 12:20

Yes they are the same basically what ever you choose if it is a KO or stoppage you will get extra points, when I get the chance I will change so there is only a couple of options there

The prediction league is great fun to all you people contemplating giving it a go...i did okay in my first attempt but had to cut my last attempt short due to a stint at her majesty's pleasure

Good luck to y'all!

Keep it up Kev, good stuff. Done my predictions. Piece of cake. This will be my year, I can feel it. Give me one or two warm ups and I'll be fighting for a major title. Fight fans. Yo.

Seriously, any smug git who thinks 18th place is in the bag can think again.

kevin · Post by **kevin** » 28 May 2005, 03:30

I'll be adding some different ideas in to keep everyone interested, so if you find yourself slipping down the league don't worry and keep prediciting.

My first time too. It will add more variety to my internet usage, my main use being porn (the straight heterosexual kind)

Have there been any openly gay boxers? Just purely out of interest you understand.....

jomothepure · Post by **jomothepure** » 28 May 2005, 12:57

Hi lads, sorry to bother you. I'm looking for a boxing website. Used to be at this address. People talked about boxing and stuff. Anyway, no bother.

Jomo, 20, enjoys long walks and entering the ring.

Wasn't Emile Griffith gay? Joe Goossen must be gay, look at those shirts.

Good predictions site this, I had a pretty healty top 20 ranking last time out, but at about week 7 I had to leave the country, and it's difficult to use a computer in the jungle, haha, so that's the only reason I didn't win.

This time out, i'm GUARANTEEING a top 10 place. And i'm also GUARANTEEING that I will win the tournament within the next 3 seasons.

You sound like the Richard Ashcroft of the prediction league.
