    Cliff Rold, whose accuracy is well known, picked J-Rock to outpoint Adames as well. You've got a good chance!
    I noticed that yesterday. Hopefully he is hungry and can overcome adversity! It’s now or never! Also glad I picked Ioka. That missed weight almost made me pick Franco, glad Ioka won!

      When Williams was a prospect, he sort of reminded me of a young Bernard Hopkins+Linares so I jumped on the wagon. I still think highly of him just because his style is so clean and txtbook. Unfortunately he has it all except durability and as much as I want to pick him, based on his previous performances, sht man.

      Adames is a second rate fighter and Williams should be beating guys like him if he could absorb some punches.

      Whatever dude. I just reluctantly pick Adames off principles.

            Adames is just a bigger guy - probably pounds more muscle than Williams - even though Julian looked good.

              And he is also quicker. That should probably spell J-Rock's end.

                Ioka won a clear decision about eight hours ago, my friend.

                  Also, as per usual this time of year only maybe 60% of pickers are still picking and the 40% who aren't are mostly those at the bottom of the rankings.

                  Still would like to see six-monthly comps - 1/2 the prize money - will maintain more pickers til end - we've lost young man and mulako already this year who went right to the end last year

                    We could establish a Super League
