You fucked up your picks big time:

PredatorHayds- Joshua, KO4,
PredatorHayds- Pacquiao,decision,Dominant

You forgot the comma between "KO" and "4", and both times, you forgot the comma behind your name, instead, you put a "-" both times. The comma behind the "4" would have belonged before the "4"... Be more careful next time... system simply does not recognize bad picks. And, no spaces and only CAPITAL LETTERS (capital letters except for your name, where it doesn't matter as far as you do not MISSPELL your name). Even if you had spelled Joshua wrong would not have been a big problem, but commas are most crucial...

BTW, JCS, how about Berto vs. Ortiz II on April 30? :TU:

I'll let you slide this time.

Spelling your name properly is crucial, so is the following comma.. all caps, no caps, really doesn't matter.

No Berto-Ortiz 2

Still top of the pile and opening up a sizeable gap now.

In true champion fashion, I'm going to play it safe, box clever and avoid risks.

I think if I take the safe bets, go with the majority I'll be a hard man to catch now, If you want this title your going to have to be bold, you're going to have to take it off me :lol:

How many weeks have we got left to play???

Too many weeks, and too many 2Xs and 3Xs left for your top ten competition, davie. Good luck, but you are likely toast by December.

167 points behind and you have two 2X and one 3X.
Even with a perfect pick every time you use them, they're only worth an extra 120 pts to you.

It's not just about bonuses, you're going to have to make some better picks, skills pay the bills G

I should fornicating hope so, you've made virtually identical picks to me and used a 2X and a 3X.

If you don't close in by at least 70 points, we've both made some dumbass picks (in fact the entire board won't score very much) :yay:

Menayothin wins a close decision over Juárez. :TU:


9 points difference:

Unbeaten WBC minimumweight champion Wanheng Menayothin (43-0, 17 KOs) of Thailand hammered out a hard fought twelve round unanimous decision against Saul “Baby” Juarez (23-5-1, 12 KOs) on Tuesday afternoon at the City Hall Ground in Chonburi, Thailand. Scores were 115-113, 116-112 and 116-113 for Menayothin, who retained his WBC title for the fifth time.

It's getting interesting at the top.
I could rue the decision not to back my gut and pick Frampton, bottled it and went safe with the crowd/betting favourite.

Cletomex looks favourite to me.
