[PICK EM CREW]

Okay gents, a coupla of nice looking fights this weekend, I honestly ain't very familiar with Zepeda or Tanajara here, but any matchup between a pair of unbeaten prospects is always going to be worth a look and the few reports I've read so far suggest this should be a nice boxer vs puncher kinda match-up with the heavy handed Zepeda playing the role of the slugger.

Diaz vs Fortuna.. nuff said. Great fight.

Now Sullivan vs Zurdo.. looks tasty on paper doesn't it? Perhaps a hint that Zurdo's looking to test himself and get some momentum going... until you remember that Sullivan's 39 years old now and been out of the ring over 2 years. Now that doesn't mean that this is necessarily a bad fight, Sullivans a solid dude and I don't think he's just going to lie down here, but his best days are a long way behind him and he's lost 2 of his last 3... I ain't got final odds yet but I've heard mention that Giberto is coming on for -800 in places and it ain't hard to see why.

Anyways, best of luck gents.

Yeah sure ya can, big 200pts if you land it but nil points if you miss... people score with em a coupla times a year usually, I think keithj got one at the start of the year if I recall right (EDIT just checked and it was Fedor vs Chilemba) and Tatabanya never stops trying....

Times I'd personally think about using a DRAW pick though is when I reckon an underdog might win but I got a feeling the judges ain't gonna let the home dude catch an L

EDIT: Thanks Tatabanya I stand corrected! that's actually 150 points not 200, guess I'm still in a bit of a daze after the weekend.:
