Why do we love boxing? I think it can be boiled down to three simple reasons: 1) Boxing is a true meritocracy where the best are only willing to test themselves against the best creating champions that will echo through the histories.  2) Promoters, sanctioning bodies and athletic commissions who work tirelessly and independently for the welfare of fighters and to ensure the best product for fans  3) Though they may rarely be contestants-women are treated with the utmost respect and never as objects for our titillation  Let us celebrate this wonderful sport with a pick em contest that I pretty much stole from the Goonweight GP where the winners will partake in many fabulous prizes.  *Winners will not actually win prizes Welcome to the inaugural - and hopefully not last - Boxing Pick 'Em contest to which I will give a lame title of my choosing Scoring won't either be straight pick em or my crazy dfs style fantasy and will be done as such: -2 points for correctly picking the winner -1 point bonus for method of victory -.5 bonus for exact method -.5 point bonus for correct round of a stoppage. So for example if you had picked Miguel Cotto to defeat Daniel Geale by KO in round 8 you would have earned 3 points (TKO 4). Picking Felix Verdejo via Unanimous Decision over Ivan Najera would have scored 3.5 points (UD win) This "week" will be run from June 20th - August 1st . You can make pics all at once or up until fight time. In the event of an late replacement, you have the option to re pick until the fight begins or else you will be assigned the replacement.

Did you guys realize Shane Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga is a PPV in TYOOL 2015? Impressive stuff. As far as picks Abraham SD Frampton UD Chavez SD Quigg TKO 7 Fights that could be cool to pick; Tarver v Cunningham or Huck v Glowacki on the 8th Jack V Groves on the 22nd Leo Santa Cruz v Mares on the 29th Lee v Billy Joe Saunders Sept 19th. Lots of TBA right now.

Garcia tko 11 Jacobs UD Thanks for playing everyone. New season will probably start 8/14 (the Tarver pbc card) and run through at least Wlad-Fury or maybe even Canelo-Cotto if that happens when its supposed to.
