-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.

I think if Browne does this he does it early. Jack is usually a slow starter but improves as the fight goes.
Mammoth I agree 💯 with your analogy! To top that Jack, at 35, shows some serious stamina late too!!
I don’t think I am gonna order the PPV tonight. Is there anyone in this Pick em that can note when Browne vs Jack and Pac Vs Broner have their 1st bell wrung to begin the fight?
If not no worries, if you think about it and have a second to post that it’s starting, it would be worth a Green K
Badou Jack has been with better competition than Brown, who is youmger, bigger and with a larger wing span, I'd still think Jack will take this, his only loss came 5 years ago, he has already fought left handers, superman, degale, bute, so i don't think brown would bring anything new and i don't think he hits harder than superman either, so I'll pick Jack wide decision.
The other fight, everyone knows everything about them, 35 year old manny would make ab quit and probably cry while at it, with a 40 year old manny ab has a chance, but i think manny volume of punches and angles would make ab clam up as he does when he feels he's been bettered and will only look for a big punch, I'll take manny close decision because judges will try to make it feel like there were two in the ring and i don't think manny can ko ab, and his probably will remind him that quitting will send him to the streets.

You sniffing the upset too then, man? We are updating the underdog multiplier some, but not going as far as I think you would have liked and neither of these fights quite makes it in... threshold is gonna be +400 for a x2.
