Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Bad Left Hook Fight Night Prediction Standings, Week 5

Capt

The main fight of last weekend's picks bonanza was not the Afolabi-Maccarinelli bout pictured above, but the result was the most fitting representation for most of us picking. We took some massive shots to our picks records. Many of us went 1-3, including yours truly.

And now, your updated standings:

jrok takes over the lead. Nobody picked a single fight in "KO" fashion this week (meaning getting their call exactly right), but JasonTryp went a remarkable 4-0 to rise among the overall leaders.

Those Who Picked Roman Martinez: Sickle, JasonTryp, keyz, Brickhaus, dinkman, BabyBull1289, jrok

Those Who Picked Ola Afolabi: JasonTryp, BabyBull1289

We'll get back at it with this weekend's fights. There are three (Klitschko-Gomez, Jones-Sheika and Flores-Herrera) and none are HUGE, but none of these fights were huge either. They might seem like gimmes on paper, but I think Gomez is a good challenge for Vitali, you never know when guys get Roy's age, and Herrera can punch.

Jones-Sheika is this weekend

I had no idea. Shows how much I care about this fight.

Second best fight of the weekend (Cordoba-Dunne) isn’t even televised. Sometimes Irish TV has live simulcasts online, so it might be available there.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

I don’t know what’s gonna happen there. How spent is Jones? Sheika’s game but will he be able to find Jones? Without a KO, what kind of judges are going to be involved in a Jones production? Flip o’ the coin in my book.

0-3 on Saturday :(

Yo man! can i get 2 points instead of 1 pt? I actually voted for Cotto for a 3rd round KO (wrong, but i got the right person), then I got marquez vs. diaz correctly (lost by one round). That’s 2 points, not impressive, but better than being the drop bottom of the pile! Thanks!
