Hey boxing, let’s see some upsets, huh? Four fights into the Prediction Game at TQBR and we haven’t seen an underdog prevail yet. Keeping with that theme of winners winning, Spidershark continued his run of impressive prescience, holding onto the top spot in the rankings for the second update in a row.

(The Mayans may ultimately be correct about the outcome of the world but I suspect it will happen much later in the fight, so no bonus points.)

While Spidershark got the winners right this week, he was less accurate in his exact predictions. Alexmac and Arthur Billette both saw the finish of the Edwin Valero fight coming in round 9, enough for Alexmac to move into a tie for second place with BigMaxy. Arthur went with Yusaf Mack over Glen Johnson, leaving him tied for fourth.

Irvin Ryan was closest to predicting the Johnson knockout by anticipating an eighth-round stoppage, as most saw the fight going into the late rounds. However, he stands tied with Arthur for fourth as he expected Antonio DeMarco to provide a stiffer test for Valero.

The 22-player logjam for third place that we saw in the last standings update has cleared significantly. Eight players now stand tied for third, having predicted the winner correctly in each fight without the precision of those at the top of the list.

If you opt to use a team name, please use it every time. I am personally guilty of not doing this once, so no hard feelings, but compiling the scores is exponentially more difficult if names are confused. Also, please note the time stipulations for submitting your picks. Picks need to be in by 11:59 PM EST the day before the fight to assure no funny business.
