After the Akhmadaliev-Tapales fight result, Mr. Tatabanya will have a very very easy job updating the Leaderboard table... hehe

Wow, that Fundora vs Mendoza fight was a surprise!

[FinitoxDinamita]

I just threw down a lil 50 on Martinez but oh well... At least Stevenson came through scoring a KD between 1-6..

Man, I wish we had a few more fights. Some wicked upsets/draws/controversial wins!!! There’s always next week though!

Very nicely played sir!

[ShoulderRoll]

But he included the Anthony Joshua mismatch in the Pick ‘Em last week.

I think Brian Mendoza has an outside shot at the upset. Oh well.

good call on Mendoza!

I'm totally lost now with which fights go in or not. To be fair on Koba - he did ask this week and there wasn't much response - but the place to ask is the master thread which is missing this year - ahem.

But we are not choosing on odds or belts - that is clear. Tapales was a +500 fighting for a unification belt. The Jap fella at 108 - double unification. Had a tough fight. Franklin was +600 but there was popular clamour, including by me, to have that fight up - probably because otherwise we just had the one fight.

That said, this competition is called Pick EM - so really, going by the name, the rationale for choosing fights should be evenly matched fights. As a counter-balance - the really skilled player is the once who can accurately spot the upset - because it's too easy just to go with the favourite all the time.

Not easy to even pick which fights to put in - never mind pick the winner

Red - That's right.

Blue - Go make real money off betting. The fights should be pick 'em only though.

Green - Not popular. The reason the Joshua fight was included was because that weekend was scanty. Only one other fight was there.

Boy, were you fùcking right... I hope you bet some money on him.
