    PICK EM CREW: next weekend, the lone fight I see worthy of inclusion is Joseph Diaz Jr vs Mercito Gesta... I would not include Ramirez vs Rosado, but... you decide

    Also, what's this new Thursday trend for fights in Canada?

    We could do without Pascal vs Eifert, but the subsequent Thursday there's Mbilli vs Gongora, which is a good fight.​
    Mbilli vs Gongora's the only worthy fight

      That's what I meant when considering the two Canadian fights, but it's on Thursday, and I'm afraid quite a few here would miss it...

        Why would quite a few here miss it?

          Time and again we noticed a decreased number of picks whenever a fight was not on Saturday.

              Well every time I pick the underdog and drop a multi they either lose or get KTFO. I give up. I'm outta here.

                No, no, man - please.

                It's just a matter of coincidences, most of times. One can't be excellent one year, then become a slouch the next - or vice versa. Boxing is more unpredictable than ever, these days. I believe that all of us share more or less the same expertise on the matter, but the wind always blows in different directions.

                I'll be extremely sorry if you go, and like me most people here, I'm sure. I don't want to sound pathetic, but please do stay in the game brother. Three quarters of the season still in front of us, there's all the time one needs to climb back.

                  I know, man. The only way to keep you truly interested is by truly picking close odds fights that will have the picks split 50/50 on here but if most of the fights going forward will be named fighters but with wide odds then there will be no chance for you to creep back in. So I suggest you scout for and lobby for more true pick 'em fights to be included. Even if the fighters aren't well-known.

                    Its very early to leave. Too early. Last year Shoulder Roll was waaaay behind and made up a lot of ground in the last couple months. Same for Damn Wicked
                    Because we can only put multiples on underdogs this year there's more chance that others will 'blow' their multiples. I have used up a x3 in vain and I nearly blew a x2 on Harrison but changed my mind. In short plenty of time to catch up and those in top 3 can easily fade 2nd half of year or get themselves banned and miss multiple weeks like MulaKO

                    PICK EM CREW also, me personally, I see this as supportive for idea to have 2 time six-month comps in a year - won't mention it again now

                      Blue - That's because Roll didn't start using any of his multipliers until the end of the year. YMR has used both of his x5 already.
