Once in a while in the UBA there is this thing called accountability. We like to see how well I picked – and how well you all picked. We will break down the matches and see the damage. Last time we did this…
Me: 5-1
You: 3-3
We are going to do this all season because…well, it’s fun. And I may throw a contest around this, so let’s get serious. FYI: I freeze your predictions once the match starts, so there’s no post-match ‘gee I can squeeze a few votes here so our side can win’ silliness. Alright? Alright.
HEAVYWEIGHT: CHAMPION Josh Pittman def. #1 CONTENDER Jordan Grice
Me: Correct
You: Correct
97% of you went for the champ, so this would have been a shocking upset if Pittman lost game 7. But he didn’t, so let’s move on.
VIXENS: CHAMPION Daphne Smith def. #1 CONTENDER Elizabeth Lefler
Me: Correct
You: Correct
79% of the vote went to the champion, who didn’t disappoint. Next month’s match will be a fun one to look at, but let’s stay with Saturday’s card.
CRUISERWEIGHT: #1 CONTENDER Thiamous McNair def. CHAMPION Sam Chance Jr.
Me: Correct
You: Correct
76% of you called the title change here, implying that Chance didn’t stand a chance in this one (ok fine, sorry, last chance pun. I promise….ok no, I don’t promise. Heh)
WELTERWEIGHT: Travis Watson def. Cathy McCandless
Me: Correct
You: Correct
While I do believe McCandless is going to spend some quality time with the belt, 84% of you and myself didn’t believe that time was this past weekend.
HEAVYWEIGHT TAG TEAM: Dre Gaither / Mal Williams def. Nick Cenzoprano / Chris Arroyo
Me: WRONG
You: WRONG
Either you thought that Williams wasn’t going to step up or that Arroyo and Cenzoprano woudln’t need a GPS. Or both. But only 29% of you got this right and I was not part of that 29%.
CLASSIC TAG TEAM: Kenny Snead / Jerry Didway def. Crystal Myrick / Mike Myrick
Me: Correct
You: Correct…?
There were some shenanigans on the polling from you guys on this one near the end, with the numbers magically changing from 49% to 51%…but I’ll leave it alone for now with a warning that I won’t be so nice again. Heh.
The Week:
Me: 5-1
You: 5-1
The Season:
Me: 10-2
You: 8-4
See you next weekend for Northeast WCS Picks….
