In one of the roughest weeks the pick'em game has ever seen, DrHenrik (5 for 8, 2 doubles) managed to emerge with a very impressive 45.5 points to garner weekly honors. Key results for the Season 8 winner were doubles on Yoan Pablo Hernandez by decision and the Over 10 1/2 in Nonito Donaire's victory.

Taking second spot was Brockman1 (4 for 7) at 29.5, while tencount (4 for 8, 1 double) grabbed third with 20.5. SueB was fourth with 18, while Sam5001 (3 for 6, 1 double) and RyanSexton (2 for 7, 1 double & 1 triple) tied for fifth at 17.5. The only other players to post more than the 10 point weekly bonus, were Sweet science and ekker3, with 17 and 12.5 respectively.

Thanks to the big week, DrHenrik jumps all the way up from twelfth into the top spot on the overall leaderboard with 103 points. Dropping one place into second is Radu at 97, while alargar remains at third with 84, joined by cyke, dropping a couple spots, also with 84.

Last season's champion ulises solis holds steady in fifth at 79, while Sam5001 makes a big move, climbing all the way up from fifteenth into sixth with 70. The rest of the overall top ten has tencount at 67, Sweet science 63.5, SueB 62 and TheDemolitionDan at 60.

Despite missing the first 4 weeks, I made an attempt at betting all my triples and doubles on strictly underdogs to hopefully get into the running. Did not happen… Looking forward to playing in the next 10 week season, it’s fun to try. Probably will expend the rest of my doubles in the coming weeks on only underdogs and then try to take it seriously next season.

In a very inspired move, cyke decided to not make any picks this week, thus conserving his high ranking. About two thirds of this week’s players wish they had made the same inspired choice.

Aaaah

I knew it was going to be my week.

Wow!!!!

I probably shouldnt have checked my standings this morning. Depressing.

Note to Self

Never go to Vegas and bet on boxing. Unless Ward is involved…

... or a Klitschko

You make a good point though, Ward is THE single most certain pick to win any match in his weight-class in the world (I am actually saying that only because I know he won’t fight Bute. For me the Bute fight is a 60-40 fight for Ward, not a sure thing AT ALL)
