    Your picks are public knowledge. People picking Chagaev over Wlad should especially keep this in mind.

    I think we used to PM our picks to Payton when he was running the old contest. That way nobody knows what others picked.

    True, but Salaco already posted his picks first so it doesn't really matter.

    I was going to pick Chagaev but he already did so i switched to Wlad. When you picked UD i changed to KO. :lol:

    That would actually be cool if it were possible next time round, probably means more work for whoever runs it though

    The last few times we did it the leader didn't have quite the spread you did. The basic reason behind it was the points leader could simply wait to see what the guy in second picked, and then just made all the same selections.

    I think it's a good idea to do so. It even adds anticipation sort like awaiting the scorecards when a fight is complete. I just think in the present contest it wouldn't make a difference.

    at this point, it doesn't particularly warrant noting.

    But Teddy Atlas picked Chagaev:atu:
