ESB Predictions league week 16 + new standings.

Nah...Amsterdam convinced me to pick Chambers!

Still, I would have picked Cantatore this week even if everyone else had picked Jensen, I think...the old man looked so much more experienced and didn't look quite finished yet. I thought he'd hang on for a close decision.

 

He swindled you then, because HE PICKED BROCK:good
Worked in you're favor though:yep

 

I am sure Amsterdam picked Chambers!:huh Or did I remember wrong?:nut

 

You remember WRONG, its no problem though mate.

Its basically been me against the world with Chambers and am damn sure the only 1 sporting The Pennsylvanian Povetkin tag

 

Then it must have been huki I was listening to! Dammit, I might just as well come clean - IT WAS YOU!:shock:

 

Ah...:good

Close race for second, eh, Amsterdam!:hey

 

Not on his BEST DAY:nono ... .....:good

Save it for Povetkin fellas:rofl


Dont worry if we have to have this conversation again? You'll get me on Klitschko. Its like this, I liked him as an amateur and I support those I like. Even if it costs me:yep Aint no fair weather fan

There's plenty of reasons to like Chambers. Him and his father are CLASS ACTS and they come to fight. For all the criticism of Eddie, he aint a runner, he understands how to box. He can do so with guy's who are much heavier. I look forward to Povetkin vs Chambers being a good fight.

 

UH-OH.....

The next result is IN!! Willie beats Moti in a CLOSE DECISION 96-94, 96-95, 96-94

I'm the lead 2 at the moment, as we come down the final stretch of this week:good

 

No reason really.. I didn't have time this week to really think about these picks. I just went to boxrec and checked everything out for a few minutes and thought the guy Arthur is fighting seems tough enough to last the distance.

****, I just saw the odds for Contatore-Jensen. Jensen to win was at +600! That's insane. I wish I checked the odds yesterday, I would definitely bet on him.. it was basically a 50/50 fight. Oh well. I think my highest bet for this weekend is pretty damn safe, Valero-Zavaleta going over 4.5 rounds.

 

YEAH BUDDY!!!

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

:happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy

Well done to everyone who picked Jensen and Arthur by Decision, rather than stoppage. I would very much like to know the thought process that led you to make these picks. I would be grateful if you would share it with me!

Many thanks!

:good

 

Cantatore hadnt done much, got older, and never quite became a top guy, facing a undefeated upcoming younger fighter who could box a little? A bit of a risk but a fair situation that won.

As for Foster? Hell, the guy aint bad. The loss to Matthews wasnt anything to be ashamed of and he went 12. Just felt more lik a decision more than a KO.
