Another slow start for Robinson, then he pulls it out late. It's seeming to be the norm this season....

[gilgamesh]

Lucky break for Hagler that Norris lost his cool. Hagler was getting his ass kicked.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Well done Leonard - pulling out a solid 15th to just about nick it.

Think Holman has earned an "easier" week 14 now. Didn't think he'd be my best and most consistent performer when I picked him to be honest.

What do you mean just about nick it? Leonard won

What do you mean just about nick it? Leonard won

He won, yeah. But 143-142 twice against 141-145 is surely by any standards fairly described as "just about nick[ing] it", no? Anything less than a clear 15th might not have been enough for him, at least officially.

Oh it was certainly a close win. I'm just saying that saying he "almost nicked it" would imply he lost a close decision instead of won.
