Great stuff, my friend - from last year's disappointment to the very top! :boxing: Thanks man. Last year I wasn't doing well at the beginning and was over it and quit. The real disappointment was the year before when I came in 2nd place by 10 points lol. Narrowly missing being the undisputed pickem champ since I had won the other 2 little pay leagues we did.

Tatabanya was the only one to predict a late Ford stoppage I was lucky after all. I knew Ford was good, but now I think highly of Kholmatov as well, though this is the kind of loss that can ruin a fighter.

After the weekend, YoungManRumble leads by a good margin, and I'm especially glad to see him back with a vengeance since he was the one who introduced me to the Pick Em League a few years ago.

Didn't get the method right but pretty happy I didn't piss away my 5x Well done mate - new leader by far !! - but you should be happy as you were 20 seconds away from p1ssing it away as you say - strange fight to predict - as I mentioned to Tatabanya I was of a mind to change to Ford - just had a feeling after being certain on Kholmatov all week - andd Tatabanya was the only one to predict a late Ford stoppage

I don't know whether he's big or small, fat or thin - can't recall seeing a photo of him - is he in fact an Urban Myth? The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist
