FMW dominant Canelo and got a draw on one card. I've seen several fights in blowouts but a hometown judge gives a fighter card. Looks better on a fighters record vs. a wide UD. Don't overthink.
I think what my man Tatabanya is trying to say is that your Pick of 'SD dominant' is not expressed in a way that conforms with the Pick Em format and would only grant you a maximum of 30 points instead of the 40 that would be possible if you were to specify CLOSE or CLEAR. I'd assume that by saying you think it'd be an SD that you're talking about a CLOSE decison but unless you actually say so we can't give you the extra points if that's how it plays out.
FWIW if you do fancy Bakole in this one (and it'll be hard to beat the judges in Paris I think) it might be worth adding an optional x5 multiplier on top which would give you some serious points on your Pick Em debut.
Best of luck, man, whichever way you decide to jump.
EDIT: Ah. Didn't see siablo14 s response to you... typically we use WIDE rather than 'dominant' for DECISION picks which is perhaps where the confusion has crept in. Choosing WIDE / DOMINANT would suggest you believe that the total difference on all 3 judges cards combined would be in excess of 15 points. This isn't technically incompatible with a Split Decison but I've never seen scores that would produce such a result in 5 years doing this... be something like Bakole 100 - 90, 98 - 92, 95 - 95.
If you genuinely believe Martin will win wide on the cards I'd suggest phrasing it thusly rather than including the specificity of a Split Decison : BAKOLE DEC WIDE

If Bakole gets knocked out, both of us will have uselessly wasted a lot of energies..
I try to time stamp the start when the bell rings, typically. That’s what I’ll be doing tomorrow night on 2 of the 2 fights. Good question to make sure everyone is abreast
