UPCOMING PICK EMs AUGUST 2019

Okay gentlemen, we got a relatively quite August in terms of top end fights but still enough going on that we can find at one or two worthy match ups most weeks. Gonna use the regular format - we got four kinda major fights which will be in for sure then about another 9 which we'll be putting to the poll - enough of you want 'em in and in they go. As always I'm bound to have misseda couple of good fights, so please don't hesitate to post your thoughts on the thread if there's any fights you want to see in the game which I've missed... The schedule of potential fights for August is looking a bit like this - fights in black are definite pick ems, fights in red will be included if they pull in enough votes, 50% or more of regular players' votes are required for a fight to be included. UPCOMING PICK EMS LIST (AUGUST) 08/03 Browne vs Pascal 08/03 Kownacki vs Arreola 08/08 Teshigowara vs Omori 08/10 Vergil Ortiz jr vs Antonio Orozco 08/10 Joshua Franco vs Oscar Negrete 08/17 Jose Benavidez Jr vs Luis Collazo 08/24 Sergei Kovalev vs Anthony Yarde 08/24 Juan Franco Estrada vs Dewayne Beamon 08/24 Kosei Tanaka vs Jonathon Gonzalez 08/24 Alexsei Papin vs Illunga Makabu 08/24 Brandon Figueroa vs Javier Chacon 08/31 Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Luke Campbell Okay gentlemen, poll incoming. Multi choice and public so vote for as many fights as you'd like to see, or if you don't like any of them please vote for that option.

I've been searching the schedules to try and come up with something for this weekend, but I don't see anything really good, would anybody be interested in having a pick em for Jessie Magdaleno vs Rafael Rivera? I think that's the only one that could generate a little interest, not for me though. But the 31st of August, I'm actually interested in 4 bouts... 1)Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Luke Campbell, 12 rounds, for Lomachenko's WBO/WBA and vacant WBC lightweight title 2)Hughie Fury vs. Alexander Povetkin, 12 rounds, heavyweights 3)Erislandy Lara vs. Ramon Alvarez, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA interim junior middleweight title 4)Caleb Truax vs. Peter Quilin, rematch, 12 rounds, IBF super middleweight eliminator Just a little feedback for ya'll Thanks !

Upcoming …..Marcus Brown vs. Jean Pascal, 12 rounds, for Brown's WBA interim light heavyweight title That one was a lock from the start - Jean might be getting on a bit now, but he's still one of the toughest dudes in the sport - victory is by no means assured for Browne and the way the poll's looking Kownacki vs Arreola is gonna be in for sure too next weekend.

Yeah I just came back to see if anybody has mentioned this. It is possible that fight somehow got overlooked. Did we forget about the Gervonta Davis fight this weekend folks, or was it intentional ?? Kinda intentional, man, though it's actually debateable whether it's a bigger mismatch than some others we have had in. Tank's kinda betwixt and between... a bit too proven to be considered a hot prospect any more (with his win over the Pedraza) like Subriel and Teofimo whose fights were polled last months and could reasonably be considered step ups, but not yet in the rarefied P4P stratosphere where we'll tend to include fights even when they are vast mismatches just cos of popularity of the lead fighter and magnitude of the event. Thanks for the input though, it's worthwhile getting feedback on which fights we want polled at least... thing is we're also limited to 10 poll options so there needs to be a degree a selectivity even over which fights go to poll.

Mods... -MEGA-, BostonGuy, TBear, jaded, LoadedWraps, bigjavi973 I don't know if it's possible, but if it is could one of you please remove the option for Benavidez vs Collazo from the poll? And please sticky this thread and remove the Upcoming July thread when you get a minute. Regards and thanks K done! ………………………………………………….

I'm liking Papin vs Makabu, should be a barnburner while it last... as ever when Junior fights a KO is pretty much guaranteed, the question is whether the relatively green (at boxing) Papin can get there first...

Vergil Ortiz vs Antonio Orozco is of interest I would think.

Benavidez Jr got hurt. That fight is off. Thanks, man, been kinda busy last coupla weeks so I ain't been keeping up with the news, just went off the Boxrec schedule. Kinda shame cos it had the makings of a fun fight - Collazo still got enough left in the tank to make decent challenge and while I don't think Jose is ever gonna be top class elite I reckon he could amke an OK name for himself as a mid level dude... just not one that was ever gonna be ready for a guy like Bud.
