    Pick em poll: Which fights for saturday?

    OK Gentlemen. We got a few fights on Saturday that are all interesting for different reasons, but the CREW ain't quite sure which ones you the players would like to see in the game, so we've decided to get your opinions in a poll. Not only will this help us for this Saturday but it'll hopefully give us a better feel for what fights to include going forward.

    OK. The two biggest fights by a margin are also both - on paper at least - wild mismatches. Munguia vs Inoue is intriguing mainly cos it's as yet not apparent how good Takeshi is. Unbeaten for sure and undoubtedly standout at national level is he really good enough to hang with the best in the world? The bookies don't think so having Jaime as at least 1/25 favourite.

    The return of the Keith. One Time is an even wider favourite against faded ex-contender Josesito Lopez, but it might give us some insight into how much of Thurman is left after surgeries and a two year lay off. Worthy of a pick 'em though when Keith is a 1/50 favourite? You decide.

    Dudes with an eye to up and comers among the lower weights might find more interest and more competitive fights at featherweight on the undercards in Houston and Brooklyn. I know we're all too mature to s****** (EDIT: to laugh in a juvenile fashion) at King Tug's ring moniker, but the young Mongolian is looking like one hell of a fighter so far and takes on solid contender Claudio Marrero for the IBO trinket. In Houston Jesus Rojas (Boxrec #16 TBRB #9) defends the WBA (regular) against Chinese #1 Can Xu... the 'Monster' with no teeth 15(2) 2(0) 0.

    Make your wishes known gentlemen. Bigger name mismatches, little guys you maybe never heard of or none at all.

        The return of Thurman is important. One more big name in the mix and the WW with the better wins at the weight.

              You're on the Boxrec one these days aincha? Myself I'd probably either skip or put in one or both Featherweight fights. I'm interested to see what Keith and Takeshi look like, of course, but I'm not sure they need a pick 'em. I ain't had a look at the game over there more than a glance when I first heard about it, but maybe time to see how it looks. Hell, might even share notes.

              Either way just gonna be led by the players on this one... threshold I worked on last year was something like a quarter of active players voting for a fight (or no fight) which is about 10 or 11 votes as things stand.

                Thurman's return is going to be huge.

                He is the best welterweight in the world.

                No stopping Keith 'One Time' Thurman.

                  I’m looking forward to King Tug and Adam’s matches, the Thurman match is just a bonus.

                  I’ll watch the Mungia at work on my phone.

                    I wouldn't be mad at none of the above.

                    Tug vs Marrero seems like the most compelling & interesting fight to me, but calling it B level might be a compliment.
