I changed my prediction on the AJ fight btw. He is going to be looking to KO Ruiz. He said it himself and I believe the landlord. Vs Parker he wanted to box

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

No - well, not unless that's really what most players want - there was some discussion about doing something like that at the start of the year and that's what A.K is referencing, but since we never really made a decision on it I think it's probably inappropriate to instigate it now. What we will be doing though is having a list of half year leaders in various categories and also a multiplier drop - 3 x3s and 5 x2s to everyone - also as mentioned in the OP of the masterthread.

Yeah I’m fine with that bro, keep up the good work.

Ugh. I'm in for Joshua fighting a crossing guard, but I'm more excited for Kelly vs Robinson & Algieri vs Coyle than these other two fights.

Random question is the close/wide numbers the same on 10 round fights as 12 round fights. Curious cuz I believe the girl fight is only 10 rounds.

Sorry, man, I meant to answer the bolded earlier but I got sidetracked with the other matters people had commented on, You are correct, Taylor vs Persoon is 10 x2... the OP on the masterthread has this to say about detail picks on 10 rounders:

RESULT DETAIL

If you picked KO, either EARLY (1-4), MID (5-8) or LATE 9-12. (Or 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 for a 10 rounder).

If you picked DEC, either 'CLOSE' or 'WIDE'.


CLOSE = Total score difference is less than 12 pts

eg. 116-112 or closer on all three cards.

WIDE = Total score difference of >=12 pts

eg. Equal to or wider than 116-112 on all three cards


If the fight is a 10 round fight or ends in a technical decision, the cutoff line of 12 pts is scaled down to the number of rounds fought.

eg WIDE for a 10 round fight will be equal to or wider than 97-93, 97-93, 96-94.

We ain't yet done any 8 rounders (or TDs) but they would also scale appropriately (ie DEC CLOSE <8 pts, DEC WIDE => 8pts on an 8 rounder, KO 1-3, 4-6, 7-8...

Ummm. Though that doesn't sit well with the 10 round KO scaling which should probably be changed from 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 to 1-4, 5-7, 8-10.

Yeah dammit. Impromptu rules change in order I think...


EDIT: Actually the easier step will be to say 8 rounders split at 1-2, 3-5, 6-8 and any TDs scale with as even a split as possible but the smaller round ranges going in the early splits (ie a 7 rounder TD would go, 1-2, 3-4, 5-7... etc) (new officialish rule)... ummm yeah, except a TD would by definition not have ended in a KO so... d'uh... anyway the principle stands.

Ok gentlemen... so far you're the only 3 to Pick Taylor by KO, however given that it's a 10 round fight that follows slightly different rules to the regular 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 split we use in a 12 rounder. As stated in the masterthread the KO split on a 10 rounder is 1-3, 4-6, 7-10, just checking that you all want to stick with the same picks given this information.

[NC Uppercut]

I mean yeah make this years half winner have a special spot but we have twice as many fights left and a lot of us like me are done .

AK are you talking about adding the additional multipliers? In which we had spoken on previously?
