I just threw down a lil 50 on Martinez but oh well... At least Stevenson came through scoring a KD between 1-6..

Class is class.

Once again I was very ****** in my betting, going after Kiko, MJ, and a nearly impossible combination of three KOs... All I needed instead was seizing the opportunity of Stevenson KO at 3.5/1, which was almost a gift. But no, this idiot always looks for the complicated stuff

Yeah man - hats off to you, the lone brave to pick Tapales to win...

I'm still sad coz I pick Tapales to win by Ko....

BTW should I get 40 points on the Tapales pick coz there's a fix x2 multiplier on him? You only gave me 20 points...

BETTING ODDS:

Martinez: (+135) Abe: (-165)
Akhmadaliev: (-450) Tapales: (+320) x2 on Tapales

You are right, sorry... I have corrected it now... It's late at night and my brain is fried!

[Tatabanya]

Man, I wish we had a few more fights. Some wicked upsets/draws/controversial wins!!! There’s always next week though!

Actually we only have the Joyce vs Zhang as a semi-relevant fight this next weekend, and I'm not even convinced it's worthy of the Pick Em... On the other hand, with all the upsets we saw on Saturday night, no pick is sure anymore.

No worries mate... It's all good...

If I had bet on MJ, I would have went with late KO too bruh. It's too logical not to.

Stevenson KO I contemplated for days before pulling the trigger lol. Initial line was Stevenson KO between 7-12 but I just couldn't trust him enough to pull that off so I waited until the special bets came out which was very doable. Yoshiro is so limited with no defense and I could count on Stevenson to catch him and knock him down early.

I'm inclined to pass I think. Perhaps if Zhelei hadn't lost to Hrgovic in his last outing but he did, so... No title on the line, it's only a 2 star fight on Boxrec, Zhang isn't in any top 10 lists and Joyce is coming in over 1/10.

Be Rakhimov vs Cordina and Tank vs Ryan the following weekend though.

So, no Petchmanee CP Freshmart vs Yudai Shigeoka this weekend?

Yes - of course - to the pair for the subsequent weekend.

Joshua Franklin was a 2 star fight too and Franklin was +600 whereas Zhang is 'only' +550. Franklin also wasn't in the top ten lists - or if he was he didn't deserve to be.

I know Hrgovic won but seems like most thought Zhang should have won or at least deserved the draw.

I can see a way for Zhang to win as he has faster hands and should connect in combo. The question is if he has enough power to give Joyce reason for pause. Maybe Joyce will just jab him to death as he did Dubois - but +550 is not a massive mis-match - its just the bookies' way of saying that Joyce is expected to win.
