NSB Pick 'em #12 - Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko, April 29

BONUS MULTIPLIER: AJ is hovering around 2.5/1 in the sportsbooks, so no bonus multiplier is in effect for either fighter. You only need to post in this thread to indicate 2X or 3X and/or to pick a draw. EG. BrometheusBob.,2X If you are using no multiplier (1X), and not picking a draw, just voting in the poll puts you in. I will assume you want 1X unless you post otherwise. NOTES: -CLOSE = 116-112 on all three scorecards or closer WIDE = Wider than 116-112 on all three scorecards -PM me before the fight starts with a different pick in order to change your pick. -2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 3 doubles and 2 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread. Sticky me BostonGuy

I forgot to vote here and only remembered in the 4th round. I would've gotten this wrong if I had picked, I woulda said Joshua by mid rounds TKO. In the 6th round when Joshua was on the verge of getting stopped I was happy I didn't vote lol.

I must have had too much to drink. :alcoholic I was having a really hard time picking a winner in this fight. I knew Wlad was old and past his best but I also thought he had a lot better movement than AJ. I also didn't know how Joshua would cope with a much better fighter than anyone he's ever fought before. The fight was pretty good. Excellent win for Joshua. True. This fight was a real close one and making a pick was hard for sure. It shows when you look at how all the options for picks were so evenly distributed. I had a hard time picking myself. I'm just glad I chose the right man by KO, although I got the rounds wrong. Not the fight where you want to use a multiplier.

Stop rubbing it in. I was rooting for the underdog :( #7 here. I was rooting Wlad but had to pick AJ. I kinda like betting against my faves because I win one way or the other. :D lol It was the same for me! I was rooting and cheering for Wlad, when he had AJ on the brink of defeat i went crazy, but my mind said AJ wins so i picked him here. At least i won a couple epoints lol, but damn i wish Wlad pulled it off.

If you didn't feel confident, then why the hell did you use a X2? LOL. I must have had too much to drink. :alcoholic I was having a really hard time picking a winner in this fight.

I picked Wlad by close decision 2X......I really don't feel confident in that pick, especially because of Klitschko's age and the fact that the fight is taking place on AJ's home turf. If you didn't feel confident, then why the hell did you use a X2? LOL.

I'm thinking Joshua mid rounds KO or UD. I think people are giving Fury a little too much credit. I think Klitschko is just about done. God damnit, man. Why do I always go against my gut. I would had gotten the exact result wrong but I would had still gotten some points. F*CK!

I got AJ winning in rounds 4,5 or 6. I chose early rounds KO though. It seemed more of a rare pick. If it goes to the latter rounds I'd actually favor wlad to win. Man this one was tough.

You see A.K will a rare pick? That's the guy to watch. That is one of my gut feelings but Idk. Im banking on experience alone being able to carry Wlad. Or hoping anyway...
