      I made a change, but I will laugh, literally, if Truax wins and there is not one Pick on him.
      I took your hypothesis as an inspiration for some crazy peanut betting, but I don't blame you, my friend.

      But not only I wasted the peanuts... I also wasted a x3 multiplier to get only 60 out of 120 points. Plant genuinely disappointed me, I really thought it would have been an easy KO win for him.

        Well he did say he hurt his hand, possibly broken, has had previous hand problems. Maybe that had some effect on the outcome. It looked to me like the last 3 or 4 rounds he back off with the right hand, also a sign is that he held his hands behind his back during the post fight interview.
        Who knows... Plant could be trying to really bait the ish out of CaNelo.?

          Kezzer, don't let it be discouraging. Most of the hardcore players miss a game or 3 thru the year. Plenty of room left to rebound when down this early due to a missed Pick Em.

            I think Canelo knocks him out, no question. Broken hands or no.

              Nelo is steep competition for any top tier elite super middle weight.

                That's me too, I mean I know Truax is usually pretty durable and Plant doesn't exactly drop bombs but I still thought he'd be able to get the wear-down stoppage late.

                I think what's maybe disappointing is that he didn't seem to have either the will or possibly the extra gear to try to close the show. Maybe it was just an issue with his hands but I didn't get that vibe watching it... it felt more like he just didn't want to take the risk.

                I mean yeah that's fine against guys you can outclass but it may be a liability when the going gets real tough... guess I woulda just liked to have seen a little more dtermination to make a statement perhaps, which he should have been able to do.

                  Even willing to accept the injured hand excuse, Plant's performance - in general - didn't convey the right vibe after all the "Canelo this, Canelo that" talk.

                  As I posted in another thread, he just showed that he is a tiny bit superior to Callum Smith, in that I still see him capable of being quite spiteful when in the mood, whereas Callum looks like a kitten.

                    Plant, DEC, WIDE

                    Ok so I know it's a little belated, but I'm just doing the leaderboard now and it appears you picked twice.

                    Now my guts are telling me to accept the second one as if it's revision, even though I'm guessing you just forgot you already picked.

                    My sense would be that it's the latest pick that should count, and provisonally that's how I'm going to include it on the tally, but I just want to run it by the other CREW, Mammoth and NC Uppercut, and see whether they agree and if so whether we codify it and update the official rules to cover these kindsa circumstances.
