Bivol:1/8; Barrera:9/2. Barrera(1.4X)
Ways fighters can win:

KO: 1-4; 5-8; 9-12
Exanples of the ways you can state your decision:
PICK EM CREW,Wilder,KO,5-8,2x
PICK EM CREW,Bivol,Decision,Close,3x
If you are using no multiplier (1X), and not picking a draw, just type username,DRAW. I will assume you want 1X unless you post otherwise.
NOTES:
-Draws are worth 120pts. A perfect pick without a multiplier is 30pts.
-CLOSE is <12 pts difference, or anything closer than 116-112 on all three scorecards. WIDE is >=12 pts difference, or anything equivalent to 116-112 on all three cards or wider.
-If you'd like to change your pick before the fight starts, post in this thread to do so. Ideally tag me so that I don't miss it.
-2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 5 doubles and 3 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.

Koba is gone to bed. I will be working with some unreliable links so if you can post fight begins when the first round begins for both fights that will be very helpful.
Sry was not on till today.We will give have to go by 9:00 central USA it was after that by a little card started at 8 but there was delay.Bivol fight came on at 9 and started pretty quick.Any body who voted in the FEW mins after 9 and before fight started cant care too much and are just out of luck imo.
I also wrongly had Dorticos KO9-12 and I had Usyk KO9-12. Hope this clears it all up. Thanks again.
Yup. I've figured it out now. You'd been wrongly recorded as having 3 correct picks before Eubank - Groves when in fact you had 2: a perfect 30 (which you doubled up on, I'm guessing) on Spence and 20 on Usyk for a total of 80pts.. so no extra points I'm afraid. That said you've done pretty damn well since, man, 2 correct and 2 perfect... not too shabby.:beerchug:
I never bought into Wilder's 3 round prediction. Because, for a fighter with the KO percentage he has? And all the bombast? He's actually a very cautious, safety first fighter, when he perceives danger. He's not that seek and destroy KO guy, like a Triple G or Amir Mansour?
There's a couple rounds of cautious feeling out, suddenly he lands a hard shot, THEN he steps on the accelerator. I figured King Kong would elicit a hesitant performance, that would go well past 3 rounds. Hes not getting Joshua out of there quick either. He'll be too concerned with the power, and it will be mid fight before anything of note happens.
That's cool, man, but if you could remember your actual picks of the 3 previous fights it'd save me going through the old threads to get it corrected.

I had Rungvisai over Estrada. KO 5-8.

Umm I'm trying to recall the fights. I know I had Spence over Peterson KO 5-8, I had Groves over Eubank by CLOSE Dec. Can you please jog my memory of which ones I'm missing?
Was an awesome fight, I'll give Wilder credit for having a better chin than I gave him credit for as well as showing MASSIVE heart in there. BUT...........he was facing an guy who may very well be in his mid-40's who had been inactive and suffering from health issues.
Wilder needed a KO to win in my eyes as Ortiz was boxing him up for the most part and had Wilder out on his feet. Had Ortiz been 3 or 4 years younger, Wilder would have been the one knocked out.
how do I know what I won?
lolIf you made a pick or picks the leaderboard should be updated in the next coupla days. I'm nearly done with the Eubank - Groves results, but the last 3 fights should be much, much quicker.
Redd Foxx, Wilder, Decision, Close
Redd Foxx, Bivol, Decision, Wide
I been updating the leaderboard with the Eubank - Groves picks and noticed you didn't seem to have an entry yet, man. Was Groves - Eubank your first pick this year?
EDIT: My bad, man, I been staring at that list of names that long I was going cross-eyed.
Ok man. Wow. Thanks for letting me know this. I appreciate it.
