Showtime: Ronald Ellis vs. Junior Younan & Thomas Mattice vs. Rolando Chinea RBR.

Any of you poor souls who just sat through Showtime's meager offering as your sole boxing fix of the day, please be good to yourselves and rinse that awful taste from your mouths with this short and sweet little gulp from earlier this afternoon:

Nahhhh. I like having "draw" as an option, even though nobody uses it. And it doesn't hurt anybody.

 

I agree with CST. Draw is utterly pointless and should be removed from the league. How often is it used anyways as you said? Case and point.......

 

If everybody gets a loss, I don't get why it's such a big deal to have it anyway, nobody is gaining any advantage over each other. I get what you're saying but somebody picking a draw isn't entirely out of the question and I think it's fun to have it as an option, a hail mary if you will. Whoever correctly picks that draw will be a legend in my book, and even if they're wrong, the balls to even attempt it. It's all in good fun.

 

How about a compromise? Keep it as an option but remove losses from the scenario if no one in the league picks it. If someone correctly picks draw then it could ts as a loss. For such a rare pick I think think this is completely reasonable.x

 

I disagree.. A unwarranted blemish on the record is never fun, when you have so many competitive guys here, that one loss can set you back 4-5 ranks, especially if the KO's are the deciding factor in the placements in the rankings when the competitors records are the same... It should at least be in the draw column, not counted as a loss.

Like my record should stand as 18-0-1.

 

As the rules currently stand, I can’t see any scenario where I would ever pick a draw. The odds are not worth the risk. In the betting markets, the book has to offer 20 to 1 to entice bets on the draw. In the league, the incentive for picking a draw is you get 1 win, which is just not worth the risk of 1 loss.

So, when the occasional draw does occur, the only ones who benefit are the people who didn’t make a pick, since the rest of the field takes a loss.

 

I already pitched that idea to no avail.

 

This.
