PTBF 2018 - RULES & STANDINGS THREAD

[JCS]

Oh, and again: Pacquiao - Matthysse will be on Jul-15, not Jul-14... In USA, it's also going to be July 15, early morning, like 6 or 7 am, I would say. But only if they fight in the evening in Malaysia, or at least by 6 pm or so...

My scoring routine doesn't like Sunday fights.

[claudevsq]

Oh, OK!

[gilgamesh]

Can we put the threads up for the latter half of July and early August. I'll be out of town for a few weeks about a week from now, and I want to get my picks in before I leave ideally in case I can't get online for whatever reason (I assume I WOULD be able to get online, but may be caught up in other things)

[Heretic]

Next two pics are quite hard.

Who has more left? Pac or Matthysse ?

I know who I would pick prime for prime. Now its quite hard to tell.

Usyk vs Gassiev is another tough one. Can Usyk take what Gassiev has to give? How will he take the body shots? Usyk has the edge for points. But will it help in Russia? Actually I think that Russia is more fair than UK and Vegas currently... Will the situation between Russia and Ukraine affect that? I hope they don't fornicate up the potentially best boxing match of the year

García vs. Porter has been postponed...

[claudevsq]

Are you sure García vs. Porter is back on for Sep-8, JCS?

[JCS]

no

[claudevsq]

But now yes, it seems to be on for Sep-8...

[klitoris]

Would add to the schedule:
Joshua - Povetkin (Sept 22)
Groves - Smith (Sept 28)

Can't disagree with those

[JCS]

Forgot to pick Porter/Garcia... lol, woulda got it wrong I think.

[claudevsq]

Sorry, I already remembered you last PTBF, forgot to remind you this time...

[claudevsq]

JCS, Usyk - Bellew will be on Nov-10, not on Nov-1. Please correct table accordingly, thanks...

N.B.: Do you think you wanna add Miguel Berchelt vs. Miguel Román on Nov-3, or rather not?

Fixed and added.. will be posted in the next scoreboard update.

Dec-8: Lomachenko - Pedraza for Super WBA, WBO and ''The Ring'' lightweight titles...

[claudevsq]

Dec-1: Adonis Stevenson - Oleksandr Gvozdyk (WBC champ vs. interim champ).

Arum announced a show as well for Dec-1 at The Forum, on ESPN+, no details so far. Even Wilder vs. Tyson Fury may land on Dec-1, but at Staples Center.

[Andrew]

Josh Warrington v Carl Frampton is a must ImO

[claudevsq]

Wilder vs. Fury has been confirmed for Dec-1.

[gilgamesh]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. I dropped 4 spots in the rankings when I picked Joshua via KO 8 (only 1 round off), and had a 2x bonus? How is that possible? Something doesn't add up here.

[JCS]

I'm surging... but out of bonuses, blah.

[gilgamesh]

So I just dropped inexplicably then?

[claudevsq]

Everything is correct. You received 29 points for correct fighter & KO missed by 1 round, fight bonus 1.5x29=44, and your 2X bonus, = 88 points plus 5% = 92 points. You dropped 4 places because 4 other players passed by you because they earned way over 100 points... Up to 162 points. Either by picking right round, but especially by using 3X bonus, which is 4.5X bonus total, plus 20% for correct round.

Sounds good to me.

The math and rankings are rock solid.. the only issues I have these days are with the pick parsing... they kept changing the forum styling... people can't spell shit right, even their own names... people quotes their own picks, other picks.. edits.. etc etc.

Nov-17: Sergio Martínez - Julio César Chávez Jr II

[JCS]

Nov-17: Sergio Martínez - Julio César Chávez Jr II

Whoa, this is a weird one? Is it legit? What coverage is this one getting?

People often complain about the women's fights. but Hammer/Shields is probably relevant enough to make the cut.
