I dont know about this man. There needs to be a time stamp. Guys from different time zones are posting their picks during the fight and after. Like who is checking? Sometimes this feels like some neighborhood bingo game with too many benefit of doubts. It’s like Ohhh ok Harold I will take your word for it and give you points.

Im just saying man. I often see late picks and they should be verified thoroughly.

I'd do it myself, brother... but am unable to, unfortunately. Even in the past, this was usually depending on the availability of some of the guys who were watching live. Needless to say, when cards from different continents are mixed, it all becomes more problematic. It would be sad if someone takes advantage of good faith, hopefully it doesn't happen.

Still, aside from the Rodriguez vs Nishida slight controversy this time, I can't remember a late pick that was accepted as valid in recent rounds.

[Tatabanya]

Bruh you already have alot on your plate. I will be on it.

It’s something Ive noticed from time to time but Im no player hater so I just let it be but the Rodriguez-Nishida fight stood out to me. That one is suspect because the guys who used multipliers happened to be late picks also. Please correct that if Im wrong.

Like dudes were so confident on Nishida of all people lol that they decided to throw multipliers in the first week which is totally fine, but couple of those were late is all im saying.

Regarding Nishida, even the die hard Japanese fans didnt give him much of a chance. Of course some knew better and picked him but it’s the late part that makes it weird

If you can be a regular time-stamper of the game, that would be a much-appreciated assistance needless to say.

In regard to the rest, of course I can't be a judge (also because I don't decide anything here besides doing the maths and harassing people with my weekly call-outs ), but looking at the time of the posts I do believe that most of them came before the fight start, and the one which was in doubt was in some way justified by a technical issue.

Figueroa plus the Inoue brothers... that's three - did I get wrong anywhere?

The Alvarez decision is considered 'close' ?

[Tatabanya]

The Alvarez decision is considered 'close' ?

No, it was a decision clear - 15 points difference means "clear". It's explained at the beginning of each new weekly thread.

Close: 0-9 points
Clear: 10-18 points
Wide: from 19 points on
