    The game must be pretty difficult, as about 39% of people (including me) still have no points. And many of those have made multiple picks (also including me). There will be plenty of opportunities to get on the board though!

    I'm thinkin I'll do Bute vs Alvarez next. Thread to follow sometime soon.

      I actually wanted to make a suggestion.

      Instead of predicting the exact round a knockout occurs I think it'll be easier to let us pick the frame and separate them by the quarter.

      1-3
      4-6
      7-9
      10-12

      For Example:

      Bute,KO,RDS 4-6

        I like the idea. Maybe even cut it to thirds.

        So far we haven't had any KOs happen yet doe..

            Yo! Did I lose my 3x multiplier by betting on broner to tko granados in the 11th last night?





            That bet should be voided as it only was a 10 rounder.

              lol

              The way I roll is I try to give as much credit as I can figure reasonably. All picks with Broner in it (like yours) but were otherwise invalid would still get the 20 pts that picking the right fighter is worth. The only pts you could have forfeitted by picking round 11 was points for the round number itself, which was 0 anyway since it was a decision.

              You ended up with 20pts, 3X'd to 60.

              The only way for a pick to be treated as totally invalid is if you pick a fighter who isn't part of the fight.

                      Well I think its cos there have been some contentious decisions and an upset (of sorts). I think most picked FRampton and DeGale, the first lost fair and square and the second could have gone to DeGale but a draw wasnt bad. No one picked that tho lol

                      As for last night, Granados got lower level robbed.
