helenius by KO is fantastic odds Especially having seen how bad Joshua is on a psychological level in recent times. On the other hand, he could initiate another hug-a-thon, like he did against Franklin...

Lopez is +450 - that is not that high - we have run pickems with +500 / +700 dogs this year. Helenius is +940 - Franklin was only +700 against Joshua +940 seems to high to me I haven't seen Lopez fight - thats part of the beauty of this comp - gets me learning about lesser known boxers Looks like you're playing me, and I'm playing you :lol1: Seriously, you know where I stand - the more, the merrier.

You're obviously right, but apparently the odds are quite wide on that one. I have never seen Lopez fight, in all honesty. A rather balanced fight should occur on Wednesday, unfortunately: Otar Eranosyan vs Roger Gutierrez. Too early for inclusion in the Pick Em...

and the bantamweight title fight ?? Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Lopez for vacant belt You're obviously right, but apparently the odds are quite wide on that one.

Thanks bro :cool:... Actually I have been third until two weekends ago, but mlac overtook me thanks to his brilliant Santiago pick vs Nonito. I don't think I'll go the full distance, though... Already undecided on Navarrete vs Valdez this weekend (BTW, PICK EM CREW... only this one, I believe, after the umpteenth PED debacle by Whyte...) and the bantamweight title fight ?? Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Lopez for vacant belt

Abit off extra cash for groceries or maybe even a old school 7 inch for the record player Thanks bro :cool:...

Not even I did think it would have been so one-sided, to be honest. Incredible how two hypothetically balanced pound-for-pound fights in the same week became mere showcases for Inoue and Crawford.

Here watching the Spence vs Crawford epilogue and tears rolling down my face when it cuts to the Spence dressing room after the fight. I don't know how Roll thought I would pick against Spence. :nonono: Spence is a good dude but can't pick a guy you know gonna lose or that puts you at a disadvantage. I understand cause im loyal to Tim Tszyu but if he were to go against Bud it be Terrance by decision

The only man who can beat Crawford is the Monster :lol1: If he could grow, he probably would take him on.

After last night, I just can't see Spence being able to make enough changes to his game to beat Crawford. The only man who can beat Crawford is the Monster :lol1:

One hundred sixty, overall... :boxing: Luckily I abandoned the idea of betting on Donaire DEC and Cruz early KO just in time, and went with the logic. It was a man against a kid, in there. Plus, as Damn Wicked correctly put it in his previous post, Spence has not looked healthy for quite a while. Shades of Terry Norris, I would say. Moreover, you can't fully recover from TWO serious car crashes in such a short span. That is precisely why I confidently picked Crawford to win by KO. In fact, I don't remember the last time i was so sure of a Pick'Em. I was even more reassured with my pick when I seen how Spence looked before the fight (his speech, his appearance and his demeanor). He looks like an old, shot fighter. I also thought Ugas hurt him badly but failed to capitalize on it. This was the easiest Pick 'Em that I can recall. I think Spence's best days are far behind him.

Spence fought like his punch resistance was totally gone. Will be interesting to see him fight fighters other than Crawford. Don't know when was the last time I saw a fighter get hurt with every shot thrown. If Spence was on imaginary P4P list, he shouldn't be anymore, imo.

I remember you disrespecting Bud all the time. Calling him Dud and I used to have to tell you to stop disrespecting Bud. I am a fan of both with a little bit more for Spence. I will be rolling with Spence again for the rematch. After last night, I just can't see Spence being able to make enough changes to his game to beat Crawford.

Mayweather is a big Crawford guy from my understanding I think you're right. I remember when Crawford first hit the scene, Mayweather was touting him as the next best thing. But then Bud signed with Top Rank.
