MUNDINE INJURED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. Broken leg ...

Breaking news. Mundine has been injured in a 4WD traffic accident. His leg is broken, how bad we don't know at the moment but at his age this effectively spells the end of his career.

In other news, Season 13 of the ESB Australian tipping competition is about to start. If you are a boxing expert you need to demonstrate your skills. Don't just talk about it, show us what you know. At the moment the reigning champion is Mundine Nuthugger Extradonaire, the one and only Ashley. You people need to shut him up. Or are you all little chicken shits? Man up!

The system used to score fights will be the following:

* correct winner = 15
* correct winner + correct decision pick = 25
* correct winner + correct stoppage pick = 30

Decision picks:

* correct wide or close decision pick* = 30

Stoppage picks**:

* 3 rounds or less off correct stoppage round = 35
* 1 round off correct stoppage round = 40
* correct stoppage round = 45

Draw = 50 points

* 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.

JOKER MATCH: in each tipping round, one of the matches will be the Joker Match. Any points you earn in the Joker Match will be doubled.

How to post your picks:

Please post your picks as follows: e.g.

"Calzaghe UD wide", if you think Calzaghe will win a unanimous decision over Kessler at a difference of points greater or equal to four points

"Calzaghe UD close", if you think Calzaghe will win a decision over Kessler at a difference of points smaller or equal to three points, a majority or split decision.

"Kessler T/KO 3", if you think Kessler will beat Calzaghe by stoppage, disqualification or retirement in the third round. Always pick a stoppage round when you make a pick!

"Calzaghe Draw Kessler" if you think the fight between Calzaghe and Kessler will end up a draw.

If you pick a stoppage - say what round!
If you pick a decision - say "wide" or "close"!

Yup i iz in.

 

Why aren't you in the tipping contest oztriker? Is your boxing knowledge lacking? We can forgive you if the only fighter you know is Mundine. Just say so, then we can leave you alone.

 

Kegsy and Hmmm pick the fights.
Fights are chosen from cards all around the world. EU, USA, Asia, Latin America. So you are saying you don't watch top class boxing anymore? Only the ones from the 80's and 70's. For your information, in the last season there weren't any Mundine nor Green fights. But there were Kats and Vic fights.

Me thinks you just dont want to hurt your ego. Especially when the Nuthugger Ash owns your old sorry ass. Just cant handle the humiliation hey. We understand.

Same goes for Flamengo, Rodin, Sallywinder et al. Ash wants to pawn your sorry asses. Watch black and white fights only. Debate about them endlessly from your ivory tower because no one can prove you wrong. Its time to put up or shut up ****s. Show us the light. Enlighten us poor mortals from your high horse with regards to your boxing expertise.
