Well now that we have lost a fight I picked a finish for, I have reevaluated %'s, options and variables most folks haven't even learned the names of yet...

To be honest, from a statistical standpoint a decision is more likely. 17 wins, 4 by ko, and the guy he’s fighting is susceptible to being wrestled.

My “ko” pick isn’t based on anything but confidence in belal. It’s a huge risk pick, but I’m confident that he’ll at least win. If it’s by ko, that’s a cherry on top. But I expect domination either way

Indeed. Sometimes playing the smaller percentage is fun! :cool:

Went grocery shopping this afternoon to kill some time. I was hyped for the first fight. And now that’s gone. I have nothing to waste any more time on. And there’s about 2 hrs until some dude actually punches another dude in the face.

These last minute cancellations are a very cruel kind of killer. Well I guess I’ll blow another bowl and pretend I’m paying attention to an old Nigel Wrathbone, Sherlock Holmes movie.

I feel ya man. I was looking forward to Robertson v. Maverick. Miranda's reply is courteous. I'd type something similar 'cause you don't know another's situation but inside I'd be like 'WTF I'm ready to smash!'' Miranda's working on a PHD in industrial psychology. Hopefully she'll just chill & enjoy the fights.

Yeah classy on both parts. What I’ve learned over the years, especially in Covid climate, is that at some point or another almost everyone will be put in a spot where they shouldn’t fight. Especially now these events are all over the place. Some people are flying. Dealing with jet lag. And you know how common it is to get super sick when you travel somewhere.

It’s all a part of the sport evolving the way it has and events taking place in the middle of a pandemic no less.

Kudos to her for being respectful, I’m sure there’s no one who likes going through a full camp to cancel the day of, on either end. That’s just not something that would sit right with anyone who takes pride in their work, no reason to make it personal

Counter point: My Lima pick is solely based on the fact that his brother KO'd MVP.

I don't think I can watch the whole show. I rarely say bad things about countries I visited but man, Indonesia has the worst internet connection in SEA. The hotel manager said it's better to stream with mobile data wtf.

I agree 100%. I said in some thread that I think Miranda handled a very disappointing situation with understanding and class. It must be hugely frustrating, and I feel for her. And because of that, my opinion of her has only gone up. I’ve been following her career since she showed up in Invicta. I wish her the best.. Just not against Gillian.
