-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 5 doubles and 3 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.

KOBA: Usyk, KO, Late
KOBA: Vlasov, DEC, CLOSE

Really really tough fight to call on Glowacki - Vlasov. Glowacki has fought successfully at a higher level, and he's a tough, tough dude, but Vlasov's looked very impressive since he stepped up to Cruiser a few years back even if his opposition has been limited. If Vlasov can use his length (how he boiled down to SMW for as long as he did is a mystery to me) and punish Krystof from the outside he wins, if Glowacki can turn it into a street fight, he wins. I'm guessing we'll see a few changes in momentum with spells of dominance by each guy, but I'm leaning ever so slightly towards the tall Russian.

How many more pick 'ems you think we'll do this year?

Well we got 8 weekends left. There's 2 this weekend, Hooker - Saucedo next, Bivol - Pascal on the 24th and Stevenson Gvozdyk and Fury Wilder the following week, so that's 6 already. I know there's at least the Charlo double date and Warrington Frampton in December plus I'm thinking if there's any actual decent boxing matches on the Japanese new years' card we might close it out with that. Say I've missed one or two then it's probably somewhere between 10 and 12 more pick 'em fights.

The Charlo fights are not competitive or big fights...I don't think we should do them
