Now I won’t be ignored by people who know how to sift through the bull. It doesn’t take a genius to quickly sort out who knows their stuff and who doesn’t. Do you play the pick 'em game?

I saw it coming and mentioned that you guys were sleeping on him. Stop trying to rewrite history to put people at ease. You aint even known on here. So even if you did say it, you would be ignored.

Well I'm not sure Nostradamus will be crapping his pants just yet, but indeed. Very well done. I'm going to give you a special award of zero points for your almost supernatural prescience.:lol1: Still feels like way more than I deserve :dance: You can have a Green K for chutzpah, however. Hahah i had to google the definition of this but it made me laugh! thanks man

I feel like in absence of a winner, surely I win by default for suggesting the mere possibility :fingersx: Well I'm not sure Nostradamus will be crapping his pants just yet, but indeed.

Okay, gents so TBF this is pretty much a horrible mismatch, Jeison ain't a terrible fighter but nothing we've seen of him would suggest he's got much hope here. I'll be honest mainly I decided to include it to keep the Pick Em momentum going, and cos I could kinda excuse it by virtue of last weeks bookies mismatch between Munguia and Spike... but this ain't the same proposition at all. So. Points are gonna be won on method and detail I guess... ain't my place to drop tactical hints, but you'll probably be able to count on two or three fingers the number of times you'll see a more certain win on the Pick Em this year. Just sayin.:lol1: hey you never know, upsets can happen :D. I feel like in absence of a winner, surely I win by default for suggesting the mere possibility :fingersx:

Wow upsets do happen. I would’ve need thought in years that J-Rock would’ve been put down and out in the 5th of 12 rounds. It happens...don’t be scared !!!!! Good luck

Last night's fight was almost as certain as Joshua vs Ruiz 1. lol Seriously, Rosario can bang and he's got a good chin, a good combination for Banana and a bad one for JRock.

if your gonna drop a clanger mate better to pick it at the start of the game so people forget. On my life I was going for Rosario on the basis he had power and good fast left hook and only when I saw he got stoppped by galimore I changed my pick. We all dropped a clanger and no one scored last night via GIPHY I'm with superman, here ^. I didn't just pick wrong like the rest of y'all, I basically declared it was about the closest thing to a dead cert we were gonna see all year and encouraged folk to drop their multipliers on it. Still, to my credit at least I followed my own dumb advice..:lol1:

I should probably point out that I’m joking since it’s sometimes hard to tell over the net. Starting phoney feuds with people who are just saying hey is funny to me. ( I gotcha. I knew you were messin around. Just messin back )

You had him by wide decision. Don’t try to get in my close decision boat with me. I’m on another level! Ha, nah you can stay in your boat. My point is, a donut is a donut any way you slice it. You get NO points for being the closest. If there's any moral victory at all, it's that you didn't waste a multiplier. But you're right, you are on another level.. :notworthy

I was closest to being right with my Williams by close decision prediction. Gonna chalk that one up as a moral victory. It's funny how we rationalize. I had Williams by DEC too and I was saying to myself, "Whew, at least I didn't use any multipliers". :rolleyes:

True. My dumb4$$ would have just picked Williams and been wrong like everybody else. Honestly, man, I'd say you caught a lucky break. This way at least it leaves your overall % correct unaffected which means you'll actually rank higher on the leader board that the people who picked but got it wrong.

Well. Well, well, well. That was unexpected. Guess at least tallying the scores should be pretty straightforward this week. :lol1:

Not a single person picked Rosario so essentially it was like this fight never happened other than it affecting peoples streak #'s and % and dummies like me pissing away a multiplier lol Just as Rosario was making his ring walk i got a strong gut feeling that was telling me to change my pick'em from JRock by decision to Rosario by KO, but I said to myself that I should follow the favorite fighter who has the sharper skills. I usually follow my logic rather than my intuition when betting, but my intuition was right this time.
