WHO WANTS A PICK EM FOR BETERBIEV vS KALAJDZIC?

Bump for those who ain't seen it yet.

I think so. Beterbiev/Hot Rod is a good fight IMO.

Okay - just gonna bump this baby a coupla more times then call it a wrap. I think it'll be a good fight but right now it's not really looking like there's enough interest to make it a PICK EM. K

I think the Makabu v Perez fight is off? Shame View this post on Instagram I'm so sorry to say that the fight which was meant to happen on the 4th of May in Kinshasa has been postponed due to my opponents injury. I will announce the new date in the coming weeks.

Hard to imagine he was fighting at 240 or so a few years back.

Hot Rod beats Beterbiev if Beterbiev doesn't tighten up his Defense and if Hot Rod can avoid taking too much of Beterbiev Power

I say nah. This is a bs-ish fight with Beterbiev a -1100 favorite (or about 91% to win) & Hot Rod a +700 dog (or about 12% to win). I don't think so many wide fights should be a part of the game. That's definitely a valid reason - my point is that I think the bookies may have it wrong... real, real hard to tell though. Hot Rod ain't fought anyone worth a damn since Browne 3 years ago, but then Artur ain't really done much either - cept he's 34 whilst Kalajdzic is just entering his physical prime. We've seen Beterbiev legit hurt by a guy I consider inferior to Kalajdzic in Johnson and we seen Hot Rod in with a vicious aggressor in Browne. Ah - I'm sure you know the score though... And man, I wish I could bring more fights that the bookies consider fairly even matches, but it's a sad commentary on the state of our sport that for the bigger names those kinda fights are few and far between. If it were just about what I think would make for the best Pick Em fights I'd be looking further down the food chain, but mainly I think folk want to see the bigger names even if it's in mismatches.

Beterbiev / Kaladzic is a Good fight but I voted to keep it out of the Pick 'em . Mainly because of how backed up you guys are . Plus I doubt half the players ever even seen Kaladzic fight . Seems unnecessary to add to your work load. It is a valid point, but things should be moving along shortly. Spent my free hours this weekend doing a crash course on spreadsheets and it's looking like I can speed up the leaderboard inputs massively so it's definitely an investment for the future. I'm going keep this thread bumped til Weds a.m (UK time) and I'll be looking for a threshold of 15 votes from regular players (we're currently on 2 - or one if you discount mine for Artur vs Hot Rod and 1 for Ancajas vs Funai) so the odds are against it anyway.

Why not? The more the better. I do think it’s a relatively obvious pick though

nice thread. this is a great fight. Kalajdzic is EXCELLENT. i consider the fight a pick em.

Beterbiev vs HotRod what a match up I got a close UD for Beterbiev but I can also see Beterbiev getting knocked out if he's careless like his last fight.

Beterbiev vs Brownes daddy should definitely be included

Yeah - well that'd be a vote from me, cos well... it was my thread.. :lol1:

Im down with beterbiev/hot rod
