-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.
Sticky me please and it'd be appreciated if you could also remove any old pick 'em threads still stickied.

Wsup with all these Commey picks? Lol mannn dont tell me this is some bush league.
Just wait couple of weeks and learn something from the maestro.
I slept on Teofimo, just like I slept on Caleb a few months back. A big statement for Teofimo! He's got people's attention now definitely
Can we have dialogues on this thread or is it strictly pickem thread?
Absolutely, man, in fact I'd like more discussion and light banter on here. I'll probably try to gently steer it back if it's shit that gets too far away from the fight at hand or if it gets too heated, but aside from that go for it. I'll often throw in little breakdowns of how I think **** will go down or for less well known fighters embed a couple of their fights, but the more discussion the better I reckon... ain't just a competition but about learning from each other too.
Baltimore, Lopez, Dec, Close
Baltimore, Crawford, KO, Mid, (x3)
Honestly I think Commey is gonna win in the eyes of the boxing public but it will be close enough that they give it to Teofimo.

ShoulderRoll, Lopez, DEC, CLOSE
Man, I'm really going back and forth on that Commey vs Lopez fight. Commey's experience edge makes me wary.
It's a real, real tough call that one for me. Teofimo is probably the greater talent, but Commey's been through it all before and never really been shaken or hurt or even beaten convincingly. Epitome of the teak tuff Ghanaian dude's just gonna keep throwing and unlike pretty much everyone Teofimo's faced before I don't see him wilting under fire... big, big, test for young Lopez.

I wouldn’t be so reluctant if I hadn’t already watched Bud wrench him to the body. Teofimo’s gonna have that blueprint. Not saying he’s Bud by any means, but it’s out there now. Good luck with it!
Who did Bud wrench to the body?
i think it will be a close fight so might as well pick em as a draw... :D kill or be killed...
