It was not a great weekend for pick'em players, especially for most of this season's top contenders. Only 13 of 33 players picked Bernard Hopkins to better Jean Pascal, while only 4 correctly called this week's big upset win by George Groves. Adding to the troubles, only 6 players believed that Roy Jones would last into the later rounds against Denis Lebedev.
Rising above the struggles to claim this week's top score with a big 46 points was Bajingo, thanks to a 5 for 7 record that included triples on a Hopkins win and a Lebedev knockout. Second spot went to Matt Miller (4 for 8, 1 double and 1 triple) with 34.5, while danytupac94 (4 for 8, a triple on Groves by decision) took third with 34 and Hoosier (4 for 8, 2 doubles) grabbed fourth with 33.5.
Rookie EndoEnderson (5 for 8, 3 doubles and a 1 triple) was fifth with 31.5, followed by DrHenrik (5 for 7, 1 double) in sixth at 29 and notclements (4 for 8, 2 doubles) in seventh with 28.5. Rounding out the weekly top ten were danywade at 22.5, OliGold 22 and cyke with 21.5.
The lead at the top has been dramatically stretched, with ulises solis now holding a comfortable edge at 157.5 points. Thanks to being the only other member of last week's overall top ten to post a positive score, OliGold sits in second spot with 136.5 points. Despite scoring -17 points, journeyintosound only falls one spot into third place at 118.5. Jumping all the way up from twelfth into fourth is cyke with 116, while quincyte moves up three places into fifith at 106. The rest of the top ten has Bajingo at 104, Stevosaurus Rex 101.5, sigidy 98, Matt (Yorkshire) 95 and tylerj19 with 93.
