Awesome, something to do at work tomorrow. :bears:

 

That's what I was thinking too:laughing:

 

Is this part of the contest or not?

 

No, you can do them from home.

 

A question, Sir Tam

Is this to say that, say I forget to pick Gonzalez-Pastrana, does my whole sheet not count, or just the given that I get zero points for that fight?

If it's for the whole sheet, then the scoring makes sense. If not, then hessplain por favor.

 

Yeah, whatever fights you don't put in picks for, you forfeit any chance of points from those particular fights. However, you also don't LOSE points either, which is what happens if you pick incorrectly.

I've had guys who avoided picking close fights, just for that reason. Sometimes it works out for them, sometimes it doesn't. Everyone develops their own strategy though.

 

Jhonny Gonzales WIDE UD
Chris Byrd MID TKO
Koba Gogoladze WIDE UD
Christophe Canclaux UD (not sure where 116-112ish falls, close, moderate or wide)
Christian Mijares WIDE UD
Yuriokis Gamboa MID KO
James Kirkland MID KO
Alfredo Angulo CLOSE MAJ DEC.
Odlanier Solis MID KO (Though the opponent is FRANS BOTHA - dude you have listed was Solis' last fight)
Ulises Solis LATE KO (Though fight is scratched)
Jorge Arce EARLY KO
Yusuke Kobori SPLIT DEC
Ricky Hatton WIDE UD
Anthony Mundine LATE TKO
Konstantin Airich CLOSE DEC
Wladimir Sidorenko WIDE DEC

 

Oh OK, so long as you're acknowledging that in some cases it might beneficial to not pick certain fights. Cool, at first I thought it was an oversight, but sounds like you have all of the bases covered. Well done, I look forward to playing :bears:

 

I've had this thing up and running for about 4 years now. Generally it's pretty smooth, but in boxing, you sometimes see things that you've never seen before and you're forced into changes.

Hopefully we're all good here. The end of this month is loaded with good fights, so its a good time to try it out again.

 

Sounds like you're just happy that you don't have to make picks like Ouma UD Wright. ::

 

Shh... say it too loud and Golden Boy will try to make the match (Though it would require Winky actually finding his way to a boxing ring)
