            takes enjoyment out of it, is difficult to even keep track that ive sent all predictions

            of course there will be a loud minority of people who always complain that a fight should be added because they're selfish and want opportunity to catch up but just pick the biggest fights and go by notoriety rather than titles because although thats a somewhat subjective metric, titles also aren't a perfect metric, there are plenty past belt holders who are not as good as non-belt holders in their division
            This makes it way harder to win & I'm cool with that....

              You actually watch the fights before picking? There is no money involved so give boxingrec a quick look & make your picks. I won the last one & I have NOT watched one fight they post. I just look at boxingrec. It took me 10 minutes to make my picks for 8 fights...

                There is no money involved so why would anyone watch the fights before picking? I have not watched a fight in any other weight class other the HW in a decade. Just wing it! I have a quick glance at boxingrec & pick. Look at their competition & a few results then I make my picks. 8 picks in 10 minutes.. It tells you about knockdowns & if it was a decision or KO. Just login to boxrec or it doesn't show you details. Why waste your time watching fights if there is no money involved? It's for fun & all you ham & eggers get ready to witness greatness again...

                    Cheers… I fully understand about the tough day. Making my picks yesterday was actually a distraction & gave me a break from a very long & stressful day.
