-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 5 doubles and 3 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.

Chisora Vs Szpilka is more interesting than the Plant-Lee and Nery fight. That is more of a pick'em

Robbie Barrett, Plant, Dec, Wide x3
Robbie Barrett, Nery, KO, Early x2

Okay gentlemen - a busy weekend for the Pick Em - 6 fights in all and there were a couple more I wouldn't have minded including. Be sure to make your picks on both threads.. as usual the Pick Ems are numbered chronologically by time zone then running order as much as possible, so the two earliest fights from Vegas got put on the same thread as the London HW showdown between Whyte and Rivas.

If I'd noticed it earlier I would probably have put Soro vs Kurbanov on the other thread in place of Plant vs Lee, but thems the breaks... honestly hard to see anyone picking Lee, even with the tasty x4 multiplier attached.

Anyways, good luck gentlemen.

Yeah. And Soro - Kurbanov and Vlasov - Chilemba.

My fault for not including Chisora vs Szplika and Soro vs Kurbanov on the upcoming pick ems poll really but I simply didn't notice Soro - Kurbanov and decided at the time Del Boy and Artur were too far down the food chain, though in hindsight... ah well.

I'd really have liked the Vlasov vs Chilemba rematch too but it just didn't get enough player interest (only 22% wanted it in... what you gonna do?).


All I can say is that I'll be putting up an 'upcoming pick em' thread for August some time in the next week or so... please add your contributions and thoughts to that and maybe you can pick up on some fights that I miss or work on convincing folk that the most recognised names don't always make for the best Pick Ems.
