So I’m back from London as of late Sunday, and back from seeing Broken Social Scene as of late Monday, and that means it’s time for some piss-poor addition and desperate metaphorical pictures related to predictin’ stuff.
The good news is that there’s interesting business to report in this update of TQBR Prediction Game 4.0. After the legend dominated update #1, His Trashtalkingness has taken a slight tumble. Paul Kelly is tied with the previous leader-man, owing to a rare missed call by the formerly exclusive boss and PK picking up bonus points in all three correct picks over the weekend.
That said, six people are separated by nearly nothin’, with 11 people one good pick from moving into first place, and we’re still a good ways away from the finish line.
One of the prime PK moves was in predicting a 10th round knockout for Wladimir Klitschko over Samuel Peter, something six folk did, which is pretty neat considering that it’s a very specific round for so many people to be right about. Another PK pick was the UD of Yuriorkis Gamboa over Orlando Salido, something only four people managed because most of us expected Gamboa to rain down unconsciousness upon Salido’s brow. And he was one of 10 people to pick Brandon Rios to upset Anthony Peterson.
Long-time friend of the site gets Eugene Dammrod aka Beard of Zeus gets this week’s coveted Peter Buckley Award, as he went 0-3 by picking Peter (only three did), Salido (he was all alone on that one) and Peterson (a less foolhardy choice).
Next up: I’ll blog about some of the business of the past week and weekend while I was away. Then, we’ll get a prediction post up for Shane Mosley-Sergio Mora and maybe even Daniel Ponce De Leon-Antonio Escalante, but your suggestions are welcome. And I’ll also get back to regularly answering your assorted smart and smart-ass comments.
Until that pleasure is mine, your standings are below. As usual, if you see any tabulation errors, let me know and we can adjudicate.
