    The Nery fight looks balanced enough if you ask me, I maintain that it should be in, but I'll accept any decision of course.

        Foster surprised me. I expected him to keep up with Vargas, but not totally outclass him.

          Just think that I had placed a double bet: either Vargas KO or Foster DEC, following a degree of logic. But no, I HAD to replace the Foster win with a fùcking draw, the idiot that I am. Not only I missed an easy win, but lost over a hundred for this foolish change.

            I try to not second guess my initial instinct. Most times, it pays off. Most times...

                  I had spoken with Koba about it already, if can manage to sway his judgement I will add it to this weeks Pick Em. I’ll wait to put up the thread until tomorrow evening in case there is enough people to pressure the diplomat

                    How are you feeling about the way this year is panning out so far in terms of fights?

                    I feel that the schedule is a damp squib and uninspiring but luckily we have had fights, apart from this past weekend, where the outcome has exceeded the expectation.

                    It's at times like this that I can become disengaged with boxing. The beauty of pick em is that it keeps me engaged. And the more fights scheduled the ore engaged I am - I wonder how many others feel the same way?

                      As Tat bsaid he 's been keeping a running tally on each weeks thread. I will be getting a new masterthread up at some point within the next week or so I imagine although progress has been kinda stymied by my eye injury which has left everything kinda blurry and it's kinda painful looking at a screen too long. However I am gradually getting better and I reckon I'm just making excuses at this point so hopefully sooner rather than later.. maybe even have it up by the weekend.
