NSB Pick Em 2022 MASTERTHREAD

[SteveM]

Ok Gents;
next weekend. Hate to do three so let’s get a vote..
Lubin vs Fonfara like it!
Garcia vs Tagho butchered the name
GGG vs Murata?
Opinions…

Whats wrong with three? We did three before?

Garcia Tagoe looks to be the least competitive (and least significant) so I would junk that one if we move forward with just 2 fights

Not a bad idea. Let us get a few more comments then I’ll get on the account and sticky the cards.
Thanks for the input brother

All three need to be in.

Lubin could very well stop Fundora if he's in the mood.
I'm putting money on Tagoe to upset Garcia (you never know with Ryan's presumed mental health issues, plus Tagoe's style is quirky)
And of course GGG vs Murata is a must.

Yeah, I think all three fights have qualities that make them great for Pick Em. So I am for all three, if I may say so.

[PICK EM CREW]

Alrighty, due to popular demand we are gonna run with 3 fights on April 9.
I will sticky them on Monday evening.

Is Garcia-Tagoe necessary? What do you guys think of Harrison-Garcia being a pick 'em?

Mammoth I think we are set for next weekend. I had given it a lot of thought but would prefer to stay with the three that came out. next Harrison fight we will try and include if he wins.

garcia tagoe is not necessary and would like to see the betting slip of those who said they are betting on tagoe to prove what they are saying is true

just go by the odds instead of the opinion of a very select few. the people who dont want all three fights are much less likely to reply in the thread

lubin fundora should be in
and maybe ggg murata if you wanted a second but the person organising it should decide , as he has to do all the work

I believe I'm one of the very few who will bet on Tagoe, and will also put a few bucks on Murata by KO in selected rounds (the odds are around 81:1 for most of them, why shouldn't one try given that GGG is 40 and has struggled mightily with Derevyanchenko?). Naturally, I'm not sure they will win, but I'm essentially a "little risk / high reward" kind of a betting specimen. I'm not interested in betting a hundred to win 150.

Having said that, I would not cry if Garcia vs Tagoe is taken off this weekend's list. But I still feel that the slim chance of an upset is there, if (and it's a big "if") Garcia happens to psychologically crumble if things don't immediately go his way.

This if we believe the stories about his weakened mental health. For the moment, I'm taking them for true.

EDIT: I might consider giving up the Murata bet if I see good odds on a Lubin KO win on Fundora; that could pay nice, and it's more likely than Murata winning vs GGG...
