What are the rules on a disqualification

Id assume you get points for picking the winner only? And not the method.

Bovada just paid me right now so…

Good question

I just looked up on google and it says the fight gets deemed a tko/ko in the round that he got disqualified in.

Well that’s what it is then. You had Ajagba by KO x2..

Cong**** my dawgs!

I myself am waiting for confirmation by Citizen Koba, PICK EM CREW regarding how the disqualification should be considered in terms of points.

Other than that, fùck that Kossobutskiy bum.

I'm most likely totally overthinking it though - as is my nature.

Don't even tell me about that. For the umpteenth time, overthinking deprived me of money that was already in my pocket. I had told myself "Usyk KO second half" as soon as the fight was officially announced. And I never rated Kossobutskiy so much. So what did I do? Instead of following instinct and bet on Usyk only, I parlayed the two fights.

I was thinking the same, but according to BoxRec a DQ win is not counted as a knockout. In fact, Ajagba's record still has the same number of KOs than before (13). I'm still waiting for confirmation to post the standings, though.

I'm not pickem crew - but in lieu of no 2023 masterthread we should defer to the 2022 version - see my pm - DQs count as KOs

Honestly - I had never seen Kosso fight before. But thanks to Mikey Gs epic work I could see he was slow as molasses on his feet. Ajagba has an outstaning jab, is quite athletic and had a 7" reach advantage - as Damn Wicked said "he may not be a great HW but he had most of the avantages in this fight" - of course , who knew he was going to implode like that. Idiot he is.

All my musings about Dubois ACL came to nothing. On retrospect he prob didn't have one in the Lerena fight. I had one in 2016 and I was on the ground rolling around in agony - there is NO way I could have played on. Seems like Dubois fortitude is in question. He is smart enough to take a knee when in trouble which I feel many fighters should but don't do yet in the 9th it seemed he might have been able to get up but prob decided that he had another 2 mins to survive and prob didn't fancy his chances of making it out of the round. I like him as a fighter though - he is mobile and would be competitive with all other HWs. And he is only 25 and has tremendous experience already.

Good question

DQ is a KO according to 2022 masterthread
