Aussie Forum Tipping Comp [Archive]

Cool, we've got a few so far and hopefully (hint hint) some more will join in too. We'll give it a go till the end of the year and if it's a success we can continue in 2010.

Ok, we need to make up some rules...

Obviously predictions must be in before fight starts.
Shall we work on a points system?

Correctly predicting the winning fighter = 3 points
Correctly predicting method of victory = 2 points (KO =TKO)

E.g Round One Kessler v Ward

I predict Kessler via decision.

Anybody interested in an Aussie Lounge end-of-year tipping comp? We've got a few interesting bouts coming up to close out 2009. Including:

21st Nov Kessler v Ward

2nd Dec Green v RJJ

5th Dec Khan v salita and PWill v Martinez

12th Dec Diaz v Malignaggi 2 and Darchinyan v Rojas

It could be a bit of fun...

Kessler vs Ward I got Kessler UD

Green vs RJJ I got RJJ by TKO

Khan vs Salita I got Khan UD

Pwill vs Martinez I got Pwill by UD

Diaz-Malignaggi 2 Malignaggi UD

Darchinyan vs Rojas I got Vic by TKO

ROY decision

Malignaggi UD

Darchinyan stoppage

Philfy

Well, we all failed dismally in the first round. Ward won (Stoppage due to cuts caused by headbutt). So technically it's a win by decision.

Dan...

11-22-2009, 06:24 PM

Obviously I missed the first one but I would have gone for Kessler by decision anyways.

My picks for the remainder of the fights:

Roy Jones UD Danny Green

Amir Khan UD Dmitri Salita

Paul Williams UD Sergio Martinez

Juan Diaz UD Pauli Malignaggi

Darchinyan TKO Rojas

Mikkel kessler isn't as good as I thought he was.Now the loss to Calzaghe seems to finally make sense.He is 1 dimensional, and doesn't know how to fight on the inside,
he had a lot of trouble with ward's speed, and doesn't know how to counter punch.
I think Froch will too much for him now.

I dunno, I think Froch's style is pretty good for Kessler. Froch is nothing whatsoever like Andre Ward or Joe Calzaghe.

I still think Kess can beat Froch quite handily.

A dark day indeed for Australian rugby. The present Wallabies are a poor excuse for a national team. Still, I'm a rugby fan through and through, I won't be jumping ship just yet...unless we lose to Wales.

I thought Wales were better than the Scots?

There is just no comparison. How you can watch League and see guys like Thurston, Lockyer, Inglis, Hayne, Folau, Hodges and going back guys like Gasnier and Johns and then watch a relatively similar game and see guys like Cross, Berrick Barnes and ****eau playing at the top level and not laugh at the later is beyond me tbh.

Different strokes for different folks.

Wales are better than Scotland. If the current Wallabies team had any pride they'd be able to step up and at least salvage something. Losing to Wales will signify just how complacent they have become. Back to back losses against those teams is unacceptable. Not to mention how they dropped their nuts against Ireland the week before.

I agree the current crop of Wallabies isn't the best we've had. It's a young team and we've really suffered from the lack of experience. Giteau is a great player, although I don't know how many times I've said it; we haven't had a decent kicker since Matt Burke.

Wasn't Flatley a pretty decent kicker?

Yeah, but 2003 was the only year he consistently played (and kicked) for the national team. It was all Burke up until then.

The 90's were undoubtably the glory days for Australian Rugby.

Right, here's a revised list of fights that will be taking place by years end starting this weekend. I've added a few more just to try and get some variation so we don't all end up picking the same.

Rules:

Picking winning fighter = 3 points
Picking winning fighter's method of victory = 2 points
Picking round of KO/TKO = 5 bonus points

Nov 28
Lucien Bute v Librado Andrade 2
Joan Guzman v Ali Funeka

2nd Dec
Danny Green v Roy Jones Jr
Bernard Hopkins v Enrique Ornelas

Dec 4th
John Hopoate v Michael Kirby

5th Dec
Amir Khan v Dmitriy Salita
Breidis Prescott v Kevin Mitchell
Paul Williams v Sergio Martinez
Timothey Bradley v Lamont Peterson

Dec 11
Jean Pascal v Adrien Diaconu 2

12th Dec
Juan Diaz v Paulie Malignaggi 2
Vic Darchinyan v Tomas Rojas
Lenny Zappa v Sergio Macias
Victor Ortiz v Antonio Diaz?
Vitali klitschko v Kevin Johnson.

Dec 18th
Hozumi Hasegawa v Alvaro Perez

Dec 19
Humberto Soto v Jesus Chavez
Kelly Pavlik v Miguel Espino

Right now the competition is wide open, with the title of "Aussie Lounge Tipping Maestro" officially up for grabs. Please revise your tips for the fights above. You don't have to do it all at once, just make sure they're in before the fights start.

Good Luck.

Bute UD Andrade
Guzman UD Funeka

Jones UD Green
Hopkins TKO8 Ornelas

Hopoate KO4 Kirby

Khan TKO5 Salita
Prescott KO5 Mitchell
Williams TKO 9 Martinez
Bradley UD Peterson

Pascal UD Diaconu

Malignaggi UD Diaz
Darchinyan KO10 Rojas

Zappa KO1 Marcias (by the way, this fight shouldn't be allowed to take place. A 21-0 boxer should never face a guy with a losing record who is without a win since 2004)

Ortiz KO6 Diaz
Vitali KO3 Johnson

Hasegawa UD Perez

Chavez UD Soto (bit of a crazy pick perhaps, but Chavez has more skill and Soto is pretty slow)
Pavlik KO4 Espinoza

I don't understand it.
How can they kick the ball straight up in the air when they are up in their own half??it doesn't make sense from a league point of view.

The less you know the better.

I just wish the game had never had the opportunity to poison my mind.

My tips for this weekend:

Guzman UD Funeka
Bute UD Andrade, as much as I will be pulling for Andrade.

I haven't seen much of Guzman or Funeka actually. But I hear Funeka is tough and keeps working and coming so he may come on late but I know Guzman is slick and is a good boxer, so I suppose he will win.

Bute should UD Andrade...Should. Thing is I doubt he gets caught late again, he will be too cautious for that this time round. But will his caution lower his punch output too much and give Andrade some close rounds?

Probably not, there is a big skills disparity here, so yeah Bute UD sounds good, but I'd love to see Andrade knock him out.

GUZMAN ud
Bute UD.
I just thought about the fight now that you mentioned it.
I can imagine Bute working hard , really hard on his fitness.That will probably be one of the things he needs to work on, after getting gassed out and getting clocked in the last second.
after all, he did dominate the fight the first time as far as my memory serves me.
Before kessler , ward I would have gone with kessler beating froch.
Now I'm thinking Froch can possibly stop Kessler.

Philfy

11-29-2009, 04:29 AM

OK guys, the first weekends results are in. Lucien Bute has knocked out Andrade in the 4th round. We all picked Bute to win, but nobody thought it would be by KO.

Ali Funeka gave Guzman an ass-whipping yet was robbed blind by the judges. This fight was scored a draw.

So the points ladder currently stands:

Philfy 3*
Clegg 3
Dan 3
Cace 3
RightCross 3

It was a fix - no doubt in my mind.

I cannot see how 2 judges can be so incompetent. It was reprehensible. This was no 7/11 stick-up. It was total highway robbery.
