-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 10 doubles and 6 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread. Every player also has 1 x5 special multiplier which can be only be used on an underdog (+100 or greater) fighter and will be replenished on July 1st if used before that time.
Sticky me please and it'd be appreciated if you could also remove any old pick 'em threads still stickied.

Rodriguez won, but part of this game is also predicting what the judges will do. And you can make an argument that the judges were going to favor Gaballo because he's young, Filipino, and undefeated.
All you Gaballo pickers must feel dirty, but congrats regardless lol
:lol1: Well... maybe a lil bit, but Ima take my Pick Em points and run, however I ain't counting it as a W for the purposes of our side bet, which means as of right now you just edged into a 10 point lead by picking Morrell EARLY over my late.... let's see what Thursday brings.. :boxing:
I didnt watch gaballo vs rodriguez fully focused but I thought in the first half there were a lot of those ineffective aggression but pushing the pace vs low workrate, constantly giving ground but landed cleaner punches - rounds.
But rodriguez certainly closed better. And I had him winning.
Thought the commentators scorecard (12-0 and 10-2) were way biased.
During inplay betting, gaballo was the favourite throughout the first 7-8 rounds. Only when the commentators showed their scorecards, the odds started to move in Rodriguez's favour.
All you Gaballo pickers must feel dirty, but congrats regardless lol
I'll watch it again. My memory recalls Rodriguez throwing something like seven shots throughout the twelve rounds :lol1:
I actually thought he would knock out Rodriguez easily, wasted money for that... Now people are saying that it was a robbery, but - having watched the fight once only - it didn't seem that scandalous to me... I will watch it again.
I've only watched it once too but I barely saw Reymart win a round... only way I could consider it even remotely close is because Manny spent most of the evening on his bike and did the bare minimum himself, but honestly Gaballo just looked like he had no answer... kids got a bag of flair but it turns out a seasoned pro like Rodriguez could just read him and time him with relative ease. Not saying I'm writing the kid off, cos I still reckon hes got something, but I really hope he learns from this one.
Gaballo KO LATE
Gonna take a chance on my boy Reymart here, I know he's unproven at this kinda level but I reckon he's got talent in buckets.. might fall on my ass with this one though.:lol1:

You've already used your x3 with a different prediction for the same fight............Rockin':boxing:
I was changing my pick,lol,but I should've left it as is because my 2nd pick was wrong,the 1st was more correct
Somebody help with all the time stamps. I'll get what I can but its a lot of flipping and don't wanna miss all the action. Step up fellas!
Thank you-
The Crew
Apologies gents but you just missed out on Makabu vs Duradola, the rest of 'em you're good for though.
No problem, man. Next time we'll need to be quicker to the draw.
Aren't there under undercard fights with Brandon Lee somewhere?
For the purposes of the Pick Em we tend to only go with mains and maybe top undercard fights. Brandun and Dakota are a bit too far down the food chain for the purposes of the game... I'm thinking you might be looking for the FBF thread here maybe?
