Mention tag works now without having to put the user number inside the brackets? It wouldn't work for javi before but it does now.

Props for the "wide" and 3X multiplier.

The fight is in England, Crolla is from England. First fight was easily 117-111 (9-3) Linares, took place in England too. Unfortunately only one judge scored it properly, and so did Boxingscene LiveScore, 117-111. 2 judges had it 115-114, 115-113. Expect the same kinda scorecards again even if Linares appears to win wide, I don't think he'll actually get wide scorecards. And it's very possible seeing last fights scores that if Crolla turns it up just a little bit more that he will get the upset if those hometown scores are any indication. That was with him losing 3 rounds.


Friendly advice, you only get two 3X multipliers in the year, don't waste them on fights like these, that could have scorecards that vary greatly compared to the actual fight everyone else watches. Your pick would make perfect sense if fair judging existed in boxing. Now sure you will still get 3x 20 for picking the correct winner but at least tweak your pick to "Close" so you can get those extra 3x 10 points. No way Linares wins wide in England. Wide in this game is 9-3 and up btw. Not a chance in hell.

Dropping knowledge. This game is not about the "true" result. You gotta factor in judging bias and hometown bias. Look at Garcia-Thurman. Thurman actually won wide but the judges scored it close. One even gave it to Garcia.

F#ck man thanks for the break down. I don't really understand the wide vs close options for sure I don't think.

I thought if the scorecards are in favor of one fighter by 12+ points (116-112 x3 or wider) = wide. And if the cards were 11 or less points for the winner = close. And based on that logic the first fight was 9 points Linares' way & my expectation is he'll do better this time. Is that not how the wide vs close options work?

And fwiw I do try to consider judge bias when considering results, but I actually felt this time around the judges might be more fair since the fight was a lil controversial with the scoring last time around.

Thanks man. I'll take care of this early tomorrow during the day. I know the main event should be at around 5PM.
