    Well we'll see, it's possible we'll see quite an intense schedule in the second half of the year, once this COVID deal quietens down a bit, just depends how long it takes. Even if we only run July to Dec I'd still expect to see as many as 40 - 50 fightsin the pick 'em, maybe average 2 a week. Should be plenty enough to use up all your mults though you might not be able to be quite as selective with 'em as you'd like.

    Fingers Xd all this passes before too long. Best wishes to you and you loved ones, man, stay safe.

        Yeah, blessings to all the folk all over the world who are suffering from this COVID ****, I guess the PICK EM or indeed boxing itself ain't the priority at this time, but we'll get this back up and running when it's thought safe to get boxing back on it's it's wheels. Hopefully that's sooner rather than later.

        How you doing over there in NC, man? Hope you are yours are all OK and that this shit ain't hit you too hard.

          We have lost my Aunt due to Covid. She tested positive and passed 8 days later. We couldnt even attend the funeral. In my area coronaviris is still on fire brother. We are just on quarantine and doing the best we can. Ive been working the mitts for my son alot, he's got some reflexes that I just didnt have. Aside from that, remote learning. You hanging in there across the pond?

            Damn, man, so sorry to hear about your aunt. My stepdaughter got that ish - she works with special needs kids so she ain't been locked down, but lucky she got off with it pretty light. As to the rest of us, yeah, doing OK, fine in fact. Money's a little tight but I been able to get a few small jobs keep it ticking over... Been practicing guitar and playing chess mainly, helping Jr with his homework... trying to keep up the BJJ with the online classes and staying at least a little in shape, but I'll be honest, man, if I ain't put on 10Lbs by the time this ish is over I'll be happy

              Kobe, My wife is a special needs teacher, even though we call them exceptional students. Ive definitely put on 15lbs. The mitts with my son and speed bag is all I really have to work out. I stopped free weights years ago. Sorry to hear about your daughter! Did she have to quarantine? They shut our school system down 3.5 months ago, and they dont teach math like they used to. I'm a damn civil engineer with a degree from Auburn and can't figure out how the he'll they are teaching math these days. Every time I intervene its right, but its not their format. Stay safe. Holler If You wanna talk. BJJ gotta be a headache learning off a screen! Peace and Cheers my brother

                I ain't sure 'special needs' is the approved term here either, man, but nah she works in a special school for kids with severe learing difficulties or disabilities whose parents are unable to care for them adequately so it's been open throughout. Most schools have been shut near two months now. She hadda quarantine for 2 weeks but then she was right back in.

                And you ain't wrong, it's been 30 years since I left school and the way they do shit has changed (slipped if you want my old ass opinion, but that's what us old bastards always say). I can do most of his work OK it's just finding the language Jr understands... I might know a lot of stuff but it turns out I ain't such a good teacher. Just adds to my appreciation of those who educate our kids though.


                And yeah, trying to learn BJJ online is faintly ridiculous unless you got a partner to do it with and Ms Koba ain't biting. Besides it'd be virtually impossible given the space we got and the kids running around. Better than nothing at all though and I think the main reason is to stop folk getting right out of the habit, and keep club community going so we don't get so many drop outs when we start back.

                Look after yourself and those close to you brother. Peace.

                      You hope we are ready? I was waiting for someone to get cocky. Now because of you I’m going to take my $300 winnings from this years Pick Em and wipe my ass with it before throwing it in a dumpster fire. As it is burning I’m going to look into the camera and say “I’m sorry to the homeless in general. You are starving now because ArticulateBoxin couldn’t keep his little mouth shut. No donation this month because of ArticulateBoxin. Remember his name for he is the root of all your problems.”
