    Crazy close night.

    Why on earth did I change rumble by ko in round 1 to rumble by decision. Stupidity of the highest order. Also changed Conor by decision to Conor by ko round 4.

    A milestone event and a main that will go down in history. A lot of tough calls from a pickem point of view.

    Well done jimmi.

    It was a big one to win and kicked you right up the overall standings.

    I got the most picks at 202 but deserved not to win overall for not trusting in McG :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,582 ✭✭✭Swashbuckler


    I think we should see the overall standings too ;););)

    Sorry if its a pain but can you update lougal88 to Porthallian. Old account locked. I've updated the details on the fight picks site

    Cheers.

    Indeed you did. I gave the 'cup' to Jimmii on his own a few posts back. You should have said something mate!! Don't be shy!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    Subsequent to a stewards enquiry the result of the boards.ie pickem league for UFC 202 has been amended to reflect the correct result of a tie between jimmii and xtal191.

    The management wishes to express their most sincere apologies to those affected and assure you all that those responsible have been flogged to within an inch of their worthless lives.

    Haha, nice try Mr. Bigshot.

    In fairness you're doing serious damage for a fella that hasn't won an event yet. Consistency will win the big one at the end of the year.

    That's my plan. ...slow and steady wins the race. Haha....I reckon I'll be caught. Three things will haunt me...changing mcgregor from points to ko, changing rumble to decision and one of the lads changing from hunt to brock lastminute. ...

    Is the pressure getting to you up there?? It's tough at the top!! :-)

    Ah sure you are only winning because I missed a few picks one night..you have the max 303, I have 295. If I had those picks you would have been caught long ago ;)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    I flipped to Oliveira just before the last one and screwed up..have flipped on Condit vs Maia 3 times..hopefully I landed on the right one!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    Lot of decent scoring tonight from a lot of pickers but there can only be one winner and tonight its Hoki. 9/10 with 3 perfects is pretty good. Well done.

    Let us know what fight let you down for the perfect score.

    Also as tonight was the last night of this bi0-monthly period, it gives me gret pleasure to announce jimmii as the winner of the period title. In the end there was only 50 points between him and Swashbuckler in second.

    Well done jimmii

    Swashbuckler is still sitting pretty at the top of the overall leaderboard.

    But not for long...jimmii is closing fast!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭Hoki


    Had Joe Lauzon by decision and I think he should have won it on the judge's scorecard tbh :( Oh well, happy to get another victory!
