NSB Pick 'em #20 - Joe Smith Jr vs Sullivan Barrera, July 15

BETTING ODDS: Can't find any from my usual sources. Oddspedia says Barrera is just over a 2/1 favorite. No bonus multipliers. You only need to post in this thread to indicate if you'd like to use one of your 2X or 3X multipliers. 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: -Draws are worth 120pts -CLOSE is <=12 pts difference, or equivalent to 116-112 on all three scorecards or closer WIDE is >12 pts difference -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

Expect competitive bout, but Joe Smith Jr’s power could be decisive. Barrera’s experience keeps it close, but knockout possible late. >> India football odds comparison Bet some money that Barrera wins by UD?

I didn't realize it was a 10 round fight but in that case the line for close versus wide just moves down proportionately, ie to 10 pts. Sulli won by 14. So it was a wide decision. They changed it from 12 to 10 rounds @ the last minute. Smith needs more polish. If he learns better technique, he will be a dangerous fighter beyond his mere punching power.

Nah. It was a wide decision. I said Barrera by close decision so, its correct or not? :headbang: I didn't realize it was a 10 round fight but in that case the line for close versus wide just moves down proportionately, ie to 10 pts. Sulli won by 14. So it was a wide decision.

Barrera outclassed him and showed why he's top tier in the light heavy div. Sullivan is underrated af. Makes that ward victory that much stronger too.. Yes it indeed does

Wrong side again. I fell for the hype Barrera should have been the clear choice but I let my enthusiasm for the blue collar man get the best of my judgement

I picked close because I suspect some scorecard tomfoolery is gonna happen. Lets see. (I thought Smith vs Barrera was main event)
