    So if the big underdog wins, it's a double whammy - they get a bonus and the other side loses multipliers.
    Speaking of favorites, I think it would be fun to include a player that symbolizes the odds favorite. So, at the end of the year, we can see where one would score just picking based on odds.

      Oh thanks for bringing that up! I thought about doing something like that a while back and I totally forgot about it.

        Check_hooks, 2x

        After thinking about this fight all week, im fairly certain GGG wins by KO. The question is what round. The majority seems to think its gonna be 5-8. I think 1-4 is a real possibility but we will see

                Jacobs was drained at the weigh-in.....he'll start to naturally fatigue after 4 rounds. Add in the devastating GGG left hooks to the body and Jacobs doesn't see past 8 for sure. The added weight will help him absorb punches but GGG is going to punish him for disrespecting the rules. It will either be GGG taking him out with a single punch to the body or breaking him down piece by piece, round by round until his corner tosses the towel or he ends up slumped through the ropes.

                  Oh snap! They lowered some of the prices on TicketMaster. I didn't look at all the sections, but the seats in the back of sections 116 and 118 dropped from 300 to 200 and the seats in the front half of 224 dropped from 200 to 100.
