** Kirks ESB Championships 2009 **

Sorry for the confusion...but here's the new fight calendar for this month

 

Why not the Castillo fight too?

 

Varg, looking at the standings: kirk had said win-loss differential is the #1 factor, and KOs were a tiebreaker. So boulieau_mtl should be moved down 2 slots behind me (as 14-3 > 14-5), and Grievsey should be moved ahead of both of us.

Also, Ishy should be moved down behind Grievsey and myself as well (again, 15-6 = +9, wheras 14-3 = +11).

That's from what I understand.

Here it is...

 

Wow, almost excatly how I feel, although I'm not brave enough to pick Arnaoutis, who definitely has a chance to pull it off. Other than that, it's like you were reading my mind. I also lean toward Kirkland these days and expect Aoh to do it. But I'll make my final picks after watching a fight or two. But expect a similar list.

Actually Kirk has said that he values KO's more than win:loss ratio...

The Win:Loss ratio is the bread and butter to computation, but if it came close to deciding, then KO's are more important than WIN:LOSS ratio...KO's demonstrate the level of accuracy in which you chose your picks...If it's low than your win:ratio is about as nice as how many times you pick heads over tails correctly...get it?
