yeah, no doubt. A lot of tough fights to call. That damn Bantamweight tourney is really tough by itself to pick for me. We'll announce a winner after this is all said and done.

How does 1 point for a correct answer but 2 points for correctly predicting a knockout and which round it would take place in?

It's hard to make predictions this far out for some of those too though cause sometimes I can't make up my mind until fight week.

I would do something like

1 point for getting the correct fighter
2 points if you accurately say KO or UD (etc)
4 points if you accurately say the round the KO occurs in.


(maybe 3 points if your a round off from the actual KO).
sounds good, I suggest this scoring. See what y'all think

1 point for choosing the winning fighter
2 points for accurately choosing the outcome by KO or Decision
3 points for selecting the round that the knock out occurs in
4 points for accurately predicting 2 of the 3 judges score cards correctly if the fight goes to a decision

What do you guys think?

Marquez TKO9
Green SD (probably controversial lol)
Judah KO8
Guerrero UD
Pacquiao UD
Pavlik KO10
Rigondeaux KO7

Ortiz TKO9
Mares KO7
