~ ESB's BIG FIGHT PICKS ~ Calzaghe-Jones - Abraham-Marquez ~

Hey, I know.. the scores. They'll eventually get done though. I ****ed up like usual with last minute work at school so I have no time for anything extra right now. Please vote if Calzaghe-Jones should be worth x2 points like other very big fights this year.

* a wide unanimous decision: a decision where all three judges score the fight for one fighter and two or more of the judges' scores are four points or more apart e.g. 116-112, 115-111, 116-111, etc.
* a close unanimous decision: a decision where all three judges score the fight for one fighter and two or more of the judges' scores are three points or less apart e.g. 115-112, 116-113, 114-112, etc. A split decision or a majority decision is scored as a close unanimous decision.

** a disqualification or retirement will count as a stoppage win.

Blue riband events - really big fights like Pavlik v. Taylor, Calzaghe v. Hopkins, etc. - will count for twice the points as usual big fights. Scores for those blue riband events get multiplied by two.

If for some reason you miss a week and you are in the top 25 in the league, you will be allocated the median score for that week. Everyone has 3 lives (will be "saved" up to three times). This, to ensure top pickers are not demotivated by their failure to pick one week.

A clean sweep system will be applied for weeks with 5 fights or more. The clean sweep bonus will be 20 points.

If, by common consensus, a clear robbery might have occured, a review panel made up of kg0208, sean, McGrain and sues2nd will decide whether the result should be overruled for the purposes of our league. Unless they all agree unanimously that it was a robbery, we go by official results.

Good luck! :good


If you're not in the league, sorry, but it's too late to join.
