    I suggested there was a gap in the market for a new prediction league that only runs big fights, alongside lbarrow's and kirk's, in this thread:

    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/...t=44248&page=2

    So, for this week, huki and I would like to invite you to pick the winner and method of victory for:

    Kelly Pavlik

    Legend for picks:

    UD - unanimous decision
    Draw - draw
    T/KO - stoppage
    Close - close decision
    Wide - wide decision
    UD by x points - decision by x number of points advantage

    Take Calzaghe v. Kessler, for example. When making a pick, please write down:

    e.g.

    Kessler T/KO 12 - Kessler will stop Calzaghe in the 12th round or

    or

    Calzaghe Draw Kessler - it will be a draw

    Instead of MD/SD - use "

    " or "
    This content is protected
    "

    Instead of KO or TKO or DQ or RT (knock out, technical knockout, disqualification or retired) - use T/KO



    We have yet to agree the best method of scoring...please decide which method of scoring we should use:

    By next week, we should have just one system - either the "

    " or the "

    ", or possibly, a better one. (Sorry about the confusion).

    Good luck and may the best picker win!:happy

    I'll be one of the first in, not a problem having another league, although Kirks & eze's format and history:yep is unbeatable. I'm not sure the 'by x rounds' is such a good idea in practice'
    Anyway;

    It would be nice if we could get these prediction threads put up with a sticky so we wouldn't have to search for them all the time.

    Whats up ESB?Can ya make these(this one,lbarrows and kirk's) stickies?

    brooklyn1550, you might want to have a stab at which kind of UD Valuev will win: close or wide; or number of rounds difference. More points on offer!:good

    I'm either going to look really dumb after saturday, or really smart. Not only am I choosing Taylor over Pavlik, but White wolf over Valuev. I get them wrong and i'll be fighting relegation in the leagues for the rest of the year.
    I'm confident in the white wolf prediction though, however, the middelweight clash still has me scratching my heed.
