PICK EM CREW, Roman, Akhmadaliev, DRAW

NOTES:
-Picking the correct winner earns 20 pts
-Picking the correct method earns 10 pts
-Picking the correct detail is worth 10 pts
-Draws are worth 150 pts. A perfect pick without a multiplier is 40pts.

-CLOSE is <12 pts difference, or anything closer than 116-112 on all three scorecards. WIDE is >=12 pts difference, or anything equivalent to 116-112 on all three cards or wider.

-If you'd like to change your pick before the fight starts, post in this thread to do so. Ideally tag me so that I don't miss it.

-2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 10 doubles and 6 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread. Every player also has 1 x5 special multiplier which can be only be used on an underdog (+100 or greater) fighter and will be replenished on July 1st if used before that time.

Sticky me please and it'd be appreciated if you could also remove any old pick 'em threads still stickied.

[PICK EM CREW]

Okay gentlemen, first off, apologies... I was kinda caught on the hop by the Thursday card from Florida. Ideally I would have put the thread up on Sunday or Yesterday, but for some reason I mentally shifted everything back a day... my bad. I will do my best to get some kind of reminders out or something.

As to the fights themselves... well, damn shame we're not getting Postol Ramirez of course, but in the circumstances probably pretty understandable, but with regards to the game I don't recall a weekend where we've had a trio of fights that were quite so up in the air. There's a favourite in each, but the underdogs are very live in each case as reflected by the +225/+200 odds... and damn if I ain't scratching my head over Danny Roman vs Akhmadaliev - a fight I thought Danny would be a wide favourite in, the bookies actually have Murodjon a significant favourite for reasons I ain't fully comprehending unless it's to do with Danny's shoulder or that folk are seeing something in Murodjon that I ain't yet..


Anyways, I'm hoping we'll be able to figure some kinda of coverage for the excellent Cruiserweight match-up from Kinshasa on Friday, though it'll probably fall mid-afternoon for those of you west of the Atlantic. If I find out some way of watching it legally I'll post it on the thread... might do the same if I find a way that's slightly iffy too.


Best of Luck gentlemen

PS. looking like I won't be able to get the leaderboard updated until tomorrow now, but in any event I will make sure that it's done before Thursday's fights.

By wide or close decision is how we usually do this

Makabu , Ko mid .

You might want to clarify those decision picks, man. Remmeber the options for decisions are CLOSE (<12 points difference) or WIDE (12+) and I can't just assume you mean WIDE by UD and CLOSE by SD.

But yes. It is a real tough trio of picks... all the better to see who really knows their stuff I guess - or who's got luck on their side.
