It's been fun this year, it's the first time I played all year. I'll help you out next year koba.
Cheers, man. Very much appreciated.. the only guys I ain't considering are those with red K or guys who've been around less than a year or so, but you'll fit in just fine. You're US based aincha - do I remember you saying Vegas or something? We had quite a nice setup at the start of this year... me repping UK / Europe, John l from the US and siablo from Jamaica... I may ask siablo if he fancies coming back in next year but we'll see which way he jumps. If he ain't keen it'd be nice to find someone from outside UK / US to make up a third, but honestly I'll take what help I can get.:beerchug:
EDIT: :rofl: Yeah, of course Vegas, cos it says so on your profile!
Oh yeah. For sure.:)
I kid you not this shit's been a lot of work this year, but I kinda enjoyed it as well... been harder since john left us and siablo kinda lost interest, so I'm hoping to rope in a couple more even keeled masochists for 2019, and I got a coupla ideas for minor changes which I'm gonna run by y'all over the next few weeks...
But yeah, fresh start in 2019. I ain't gonna let this baby die, hopefully gonna make it into an NSB annual fixture... :boxing:

Rare that I stay up for the fights these days, but it was well worth it... shouting at my TV in round 12... ain't done that in a while.. :rofl:
anyways.
This ain't gonna make your day any brighter, man, but I'm just in the middle of updating the results from pick 'em 65 and 66 and that x2 you put on Gvozdyk? Yeah... already went on Usyk I think. :(
I already wasted it then lol.
Fuuuuuck...!
So close! Still better to see Fury get up than be right. Much better fight than I expected.

Hell yeah! You should set up a go fund me, or have the crew drop their cash app names because I'm willing to donate to the cause!
I think your Stevenson pick was late, man. Fight was earlier than I'd thought, too. You gotta be cursing your luck, huh?:lol1:
I’ve been f#ckin up lately.
I feel ya! Will we be starting fresh at the beginning of 2019?
Oh yeah. For sure.:)

Wish I could call the pick 'em as I saw the fights, man, but that's a whole other can of worms...
Honestly I picked Wilder for the Win, but I'd have been far happier seeing the judges call it right and drop a few places on the scoreboard.

You do - or did - have your mults left. Whilst I send my heartfelt condolences you will have to understand that I am also chuckling evilly on the inside as that x3 goes gurgling down the drain.:lol1:

The judges f.cked me out of having 2 perfects smh

Stevenson, KO, early.
Wilder, KO, late.

If I still have my last two multipliers like I think I do then I'll add my 2x on Gvozdyk and my 3x on Wilder if that's ok

Damn. When it isn't Golden Boy robbing me, it's PBC robbing me.

As I stand here contemplating,
On the wrong decision.
Will I take the wrong direction,
All my life, where will I go,
What lies ahead of me?
Who can I run to,
To share this empty space?
Who can I run to,
When I need love?
Who can I run to,
To fill this empty space with laughter?
Who can I run to,
When I need love?
I saw you, man. What can I say?:lol1:
I think Fury's gonna make it a bit awkward but eventually Wilders gonna find him then it's over. I'd be happy to be proved wrong though. I'm not confident about either of the fights tonight... Stevenson's left is every bit as much of a game changer as Wilder's right, but both are facing guys who are technically better boxers. Main difference is Fury could be shot to hell and Stevenson is certainly showing his age (coupla years ago Jack would probably have been stretchered out, much as I like him as a fighter). Let's see how it falls.:boxing:
Not often I stay up for the fights these days and Ms Koba's already moaning cos we've got a day out planned tomorrow and she knows I'll be fit for **** if I'm up til 6 in the a.m.
These fuckers better make tonight's fights worth the earache.:lol1:
Looking good so far! Father Time just slapped the **** outta Stevenson. Onto Wilder v Fury... if Wilder wins it’ll happen before 6 by ko, imo, and if Fury wins it’ll be by decision. Don’t get into trouble w/ Mrs Koba tomorrow.
Copy cat! Lol
