As of this weekend, leaderman -- and recent TQBR contributor! -- Paul Kelly kept his TQBR Prediction Game 4.0 lead in large measure because of a sadistic referee, Ian John-Lewis, and a corner that had no interest in protecting Shannon Briggs from a brutal pummeling by Vitali Klitschko that lasted far too long and left Briggs in the intensive care unit with broken bones in his face. But on the bright side, the torn bicep probably wasn't Klitschko's fault.
Anyway, Paul Kelly was the only one who saw that fight going the distance, and for that he got a perfect 600 points. He also predicted a knockout by Lucian Bute over Jesse Brinkley, good for 550 points. The perfect ones for that fight -- the ones who called a 9th round knockout for Bute -- were Basque Country, Neon Leon's Two Front Teeth aka Andrew Harrison and The Road Warrior aka Hit Dog. Good ones, lads.
Unfortunately for Mr. Teeth, he also was one of only two people to call an upset over the weekend, predicting -- with the caveat that it was "ridiculous" -- a Briggs win. The other was stickfigure, calling a Brinkley win, because it'd be "boring" to predict otherwise. Both men had been sitting fairly pretty in the standings, and the gamble cost them. Hey, at least they knew it was kooky what they were doing. Most everybody else went with knockouts for both Bute and Klitschko, but five people had Bute by unanimous decision.
TQBR Prediction Game 4.0 will return to a neighborhood near you for a big finish for doubleheaders airing on Showtime and HBO Nov. 6.
Until then, please find below your standings. As always, if you see a tabulation error, notify me and we can adjudicate:
