Kirks Championships : Boxing Prediction League : 2018

It's not my official pick but from your list I lean towards:
Haye, Stevenson, nurse, nyambayar and Yafai. A few are still undecided.

 

I am leaning torwards Bellew, Russel Jr and Yafai. But about the rest...no idea. Have to analyse those matchups. Quite interesting matchups btw.

 

Solomon UD, Lawson UD, van Heerden UD, Lubkovich UD, Diaz UD, Kubo UD, Abraham KO, Lejarraga UD, Vue UD, Jennings KO, Hart KO, Magdaleno UD, Miller KO, Jacobs UD, Cruz UD, Lara KO, Dirrell UD

 

Has that rule been around for several years? If it has then it hasn't been relevant until now because it is BS and doesn't make any sort of sense lol. You and @nellybc are like the commission/sanctioning body for the WBK. I don't think you can't do anything about it for this series. You have the authority to make the right call and be flexible. You've done that with the February ruling that you brought up. Why not make the right call here? And what's with that DQ ruling?

 

Inoue wide UD.

 

@PinoyProdigy @Drinquor @CST80 about May : maybe you could add Tabiti vs Kayodee?

 

The earliest mention of that rule I found was a post by @BeastsideBoxing in July 2015.

The difference with the February ruling is that we were clarifying an unclear situation which was not explicitly mentioned in the rules, whereas this time the rules were already explicit (even if illogical). Nevertheless, I guess that technically you are right that we could still adjust the rules.

I will discuss this, and the DQ business, with @nellybc and get back to everyone. @nellybc has the final say but hopefully we can agree on something.

 

SOLOMON UD LAWSON KO VAN HEERDEN UD

 

Thank you very much!

 

Kayode is super ass and I don’t know why I picked him in his last fight so that’s a no!

 

Boxing scene.

 

Haye UD Wide and E Rodriguez MD.

 

Sorry for the delay in replying. Had a promotion party in Doncaster last night tafter Blackburn clinched promotion and still recovering now.

I am hearing you loud and clear!! @PinoyProdigy @KiwiMan @pablinov @DONT B SCARED @Chuck Norris @Dfaulds @BoxingABC1 @DanielDimov @pincai

I saw that kiwiman had sent me a message with the queries over the scoring. I have messaged him back and will come back with something official on both counts but for now here are my own personal thoughts...

After reading the WBK rules and scoring it is clear there is no mention of a DQ situation in the scoring at present. I automatically scored it as a KO/TKO/RTD. It cost me a knock down in my match. That may have been right or wrong but every scoring rule was set up to avoid 10-10 as much as possible. I didn't even think to look for a DQ rule. That was maybe wrong of me and obviously we need to set a clear rule for a DQ result.

The same theory again applies for the DRAW result - the SD or MD was to avoid the 10-10 where possible.

I hear what you are saying and take on board your thoughts with regards to the SD or MD earning the 10.

This is the rule for scoring a DRAW as it stands. Again, this was to eliminate the 10-10 situation.

MD vs SD - Result Draw - Who picked SD wins 10-9
*note - Majority Decision is closer to Decisions, Split Decision is closer to Draw*

If you pick a SD and your opponent picks a MD and the fight ends in a Draw, the one picking SD wins 10-9

SD vs MD - Result Draw - SD wins 10-9
SD or MD vs UD - Result Draw - SD or MD wins 10-9

 

I understand where you're coming from with this but I find it strange to score a DQ as KO/TKO...

 

Why? I mean how many people you've seen predicting a DQ, it's pretty hard to score it on the league.
