-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... as laid out in the schedule from the masterthread except with the addition of the fireworks guaranteed 'Smasha in Kinshasa' which I'd forgotten about or perhaps wasn't up on Boxrec when I checked yesterday. Anyway, Juniors a hot favourite for a reason, but both these guys can **** and both of 'em been shown to have iffy whiskers so it's absolutely not a foregone conclusion for the Champ.

The rest... Canelo a surprisingly yet somehow unsurprisingly wide favourite against Mundo, ain't tryna put the ginger one down but there's a sense whatever happens he won't lose so.

Boots... damn, I mean on paper the South African veteran is a significant step up, cept the bookies ain't seeing him as much of an obstacle to Jarron's ascent and neither am I. Be a statement if he can maybe get him out of the way quicker than Spence though.

Gutted when Rodriguez vs Donaire fell out but it looks like we got one of those rare instances where we get a potentially decent replacement. Gaballo comes in unbeaten and really not far off evens per the bookies despite his lack of recognisable wins... unbeaten though and clearly dangerous, could be fireworks in this one.

Calling it now, robbery on Smith vs Canelo if it goes the distance.

There will be no such problem, man. Looking at the pictures of Smith in another article here, he looks like someone who's just content to be there and get some nice money.

My pick is Canelo inside the distance, somewhere between rounds 6 and 10. I just can't see Smith winning, though I am indeed tempted to place a few notes on him given the odds.
