    I'm pretty bored, so i'll see what the consensus is on here for me starting one up. It will work the same way as Kirk's in the general forum;

    Correct fight winner = 1-0
    Incorrect fight winner = 0-1
    Correct Method i.e. KO/TKO, UD/SD/MD = 1 KO on record
    Correct round stoppage prediction = £100 in mini spin off league
    Correct round stoppage within 1 round each way = £50 in mini spin off league

    i.e. If I choose Kevin Mitchell UD over Nicky Cook and Michael Gomez TKO7 Lee McCallister and Mitchell wins a SD over Cook and Gomez manages to KO6 Lee then I would be 2-0(2 KO's) with £50 for spin off league.

    . I'm riding high in the general forum one, 3 places off the top, and like to think I Could dominate this one :yep.

    If there is enough interest i.e. minimum 15/20 people, we will get a fight lists up, and i'll get this structured and organised to run from August 2008 to July 2009. Winner takes all, a prize to be decided at a later date.

    :think Yay or nae.

    Poll closes in 4 days.

    Count me in Smith

    I'm not as clued up on the domestic scene as I am on the world scene. This would be an excellent reason for me to polish up in this area, even if I will probably end up residing in the relegation zone of the league.

    :yep No worries. There are people in the British that are more educated than me on the current domestic scene as well, more so on the domestic English scene outwith British level et al. Not to worry, there won' be any really discrete fights i.e. Takaloo versus the local plumber, but it will include mostly all British fighters fights on the world level, European level, Commonwealth, British titles, English/Scottish and so on. I.e. The recent Barnes versus Morrisson fight would be included as would Hatton Laczano.

    Any way, good to see youre in.:good

    Yeah, I'm on a horrific run of form. July hasn't been a good one for me. Roll on August.

    I think we should pick quite a lot of fights to test the knowledge. Down as far as any fight with a guy top 10 ranked, or one involving a notable prospect. Then if it gets too ridiculous with the record padding you can scale it down a bit.

    Sounds like a great idea. If you want a hand putting a spreadsheet together for it give me a shout.

    i am interested but won't this scoring method mean that in your example if you had nicky cook to beat kevin mitchell by UD instead you'd end up with a record of 0-2 (1 KO)?
