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.

Ok gents, time to seperate the wheat from the chaff here, or maybe just the lucky from the unlucky....

The Golden Contract finals from Yorkshire on Wednesday are basically entirely up in the air, even the bookies can't seperate these dudes by more than a whisker. The anticipated ****ens vs Walsh match up was of course postponed from a coupla months back, and we saw Bolotniks and Michel earn their places in the final around the same time... Jazza and Walsh most of you got a good idea about already, but Bolotniks and Michel's route to the finals are probably worth a little look over..

Conroy vs Michel:



Bolotniks vs Burton:



So the tough, relentless Latvian Bolotniks who'll eat some but won't stop against the crafty but possibly fragile German-Russian Michel... damn impossible for me to get a read on this one... it really depends on whether you think Michel will hold up under the pressure, or whether Bolotniks' pressure will eventually find a way through.


Then we got Loefflers rising prospect, the fearsomely destructive Bohachuk who has so far destroyed 100% of the cannon fodder put in front of him. His best win to date, a four round destruction of Tyrone Brunson gives us a hint there might be something there, but then Adams also beat down Brunson in 4 plus he got the scalp of another highly regarded Ukrainian prospect in Khytrov. In fact Brandons Contender run entirely eclipses anything on Serhii's record to date.

So... Big step up here for the Ukrainian ****er which should give us some idea where he really stands. Really looking forward to this one and genuinely no idea who should be favourite... I've nominally got the Ukrainian ahead, but you could make a very strong argument that Brandon got the edge here. You decide gents.. I'm real interested to see which way people jump here.

Bohachuk vs Brunson



Which brings us to BJS vs Murray... gotta say I'm including this one more outta nostalgia and for the name recognition. It's a fight that might actaully have meant something 5 years ago at Middleweight, but now it's easy to see why Saunders is a prohibitive favourite with the aging Murray effectively retired 2 years ago by the equally past it N'Dam. Still we've seen BJS come in and look like absolute steaming crap on some occasions... so, maybe.

Honestly though we're really looking at method and detail on this one... will Martin's legendary toughness be able to withstand Billy Joe's legendary feather fists is the question in everyone's mind, or is Martin just too far past it now?

Awwww. Bollix.

Looks like Adams vs Bohachuk is cancelled - Serhii pulled out with an 'unspecified illness'. Gutted. Really looking forward to see what Serhii got against someone with some decent experience.

What about Colbert vs Arboleda and Spence vs Garcia?

[Citizen Koba]

What about Colbert vs Arboleda and Spence vs Garcia?

Made a little note on the masterthread Saturday night about how I was planning to play it. Gonna be a seperate thread going up tonight for the Arlington card, I was just gonna do Spence vs Garcia and Fundora vs Cota.

The Colbert vs Arboleda fight's on the Uncasville card on the 12th though - the same date as the Joshua vs Pulev card so I'll have to see how that figures in. Verdejo vs Nakati is on the 12th too which would probably take priority if I had to choose.

Yes, sorry Theo, my bad - I read the schedule hastily and thought it was this next weekend..
