-Draws are worth 150 pts. A perfect pick without a multiplier is 40pts.

-CLOSE is <12 pts difference, or anything closer than 116-112 on all three scorecards. WIDE is >=12 pts difference, or anything equivalent to 116-112 on all three cards or wider.

-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 10 doubles and 6 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread. Every player also has 1 x5 special multiplier which can be only be used on an underdog (+100 or greater) fighter and will be replenished on July 1st if used before that time.

Sticky me please and it'd be appreciated if you could also remove any old pick 'em threads still stickied.

[PICK EM CREW]

Okay gents, got a quadruple header spanning half the globe this week, courtesy of last weeks' postponed Fayfer vs Papin match-up which has been relocated to Kazan. Eddie's Backyard Brawls plays host to a coupla tasty fights this week, the hotly anticipated Taylor vs Persoon rematch and the potentially explosive heavyweight clash between the aging but still lethal Sasha Povetkin and eternal WBC mandatory Whyte with the winner presumably moving on to a championship fight... eventually.

Rounding up this weeks pick ems Stateside we got a real solid LHW clash between TBRBs #4 and #6. Both are on the comeback trail and riding decent wins in January and this can reasonably be seen as a crossroads fight for both men, and maybe last chance saloon for aging Alvarez.

Gotta say gents I'm seeing vast potential for upset this week and if you got any x5s left I wouldn't think you foolish for using 'em on any of this weeks underdogs. Every one of these fights is wide, wide open for me, though I'd advise a healthy scepticism over judging impartiality in at least one of 'em.


Apologies for not having the leaderboard up to date yet, but I'll be aiming to have it done well before the fights on Saturday.

Regards and best of luck Gentlemen.

On the Master I have my x5. I shouldn't. I lost that in the Feb Fury-Wilder II card. I don't remember if I spent it on Washington or Wilder, but, i do remember spending it.

Good to see you on here, man, but you can use a x5 on Sasha if you wish. As per the competition rules all players got topped up with an extra x5 on July 1st.

I am so glad that boxing is really beginning to make its way back. I felt lost without it!
