PrintIt's time for another 10 week season of pick'em action.
If you're a veteran of the game from The Boxing Bulletin, you'll know how to play. For those that are new to the game, please make sure to check out the rules (we promise they are very simple).
An explanation of how to fill out your selections appears at the bottom of this post - please follow these instructions as it makes it easier for us to tabulate the results quickly each week.
One new wrinkle added this season will be the crowning of an overall winner at the end of 2011. At the end of each 10 week season, the top 20 players will receive player of the year points, 15 for 1st, 13 for 2nd, 11 for 3rd, 10 for 4th, 9 for 5th, 8 for 6th, 7 for 7th, 6 for 8th, 5 for 9th, 4 for 10th, 3 for 11th-12th, 2 for 13-15th and 1 for 16th-20th . These point totals will be added together to determine the Pick'em Player of the Year.
Let’s get to the week 1 line-up…

in case anyone's wondering
I don’t really think Licina beats Cunningham, but the odds are great and Cunningham is 34 and doesn’t fight enough.

NOTE!
The German card has been canceled, so I guess we’re down to C/D/E for this week.

Such were the days, still, hot, heavy, disappearing one by one into the past, as if falling into an abyss for ever open in the wake of the ship; and the ship, lonely under a wisp of smoke, held on her steadwast way black and smouldering in a luminous immensity, as if scorched by a flame flicked at her from a heaven without pity.

Still searching for an alive Dan Tucker.
Can I change my Karl vs. McIntosh pick?
D. (1) – 1 – Karl to win

Yes – changes can be made as long as you get them in before the fight starts.

That change will horrify me for the rest of the Pick’Em year…

lol
I did the same with Jamoye…..
In 2008 Lewis commented on a possible match up with Riddick Bowe. "He waits until I am in retirement to call out my name," said Lewis. "I will come out of retirement to beat up that guy. I'll beat him up for free."

"Dawson was NOT a hype job. Dude schooled Adamek, beat Tarver twice (neither competitive), beat Johnson twice (once close, once a wipeout) and even beat Harding when Harding was still good. That is not hype. Those are results. I love how people see a guy lose once and all of a sudden nothing they ever did means anything. You are dead wrong."

Am I right in saying there are only 3 selections this week then?
C. (1) – 2 – McDonnell by stoppage
D. (2) – 1 – Karl to win
E. (1) – 2 – Matthysse by stoppage

Just saw Scott's post above. Disregard question.
Shame I couldn’t risk some to win some more on Karl by dodgy points decision in France…. ;)

Can I change my first pick to:
C. (1) – 2 – Jamoye by decision
Many thanks. :)

The Matthysse pick won’t count unfortunately, as you were just late. Sorry about that.

Would it be possible to post these as fanposts in the future? That way it doesnt get buried under the new articles.
The line-ups will be posted every week in regular posts. But, perhaps we’ll throw up a reminder FanShot or something as well.
