NSB PICK EM 2022 #13 - #14 FRIDAY 4th AND SATURDAY 5th March

[jas]

Julio Cesar Martinez failed to make the weight.... I'm reviewing my pick, needless to say.

What a fùcking shame.

EDIT: on a second thought... I'll leave everything exactly as it is, WTF.

he knew about the fight january 25th, 6 weeks notice. plenty of notice. he probably really struggled to make 112 when he was fighting at that weight, and miscalculated the weight fight week and is just bigger than we thought, big speed difference imo so ima take martinez early ko

All true, but class being class I now think that Chocolatito might teach the kid a lesson. It remains to be seen how all the wars he had affect Gonzalez on fight night...

Damn... I still ain't decided on either of these. For my money Pedraza is the better boxer here but Ramirez is a real warrior and a the kinda tough guy that could bend this fight to his will. I would also picked the Chocolatito of 5 years ago with almost no hesitation but it ain't 5 years ago and JCM has been on ferocious form over the last few years...

Ah... well. I'm an older dude myself so perhaps it ain't super surprising I root for the old war dogs over the young pups...

Tough though Ima big fan of Ramirez- respect the man as a decent human being, and whilst I don't know as much about what sort of guy JCM is he's 100% won me over with his performances in the ring. Dude's effing savage.

OK..enough procrastinating.

Pedraza DEC CLOSE
Gonzalez DEC CLEAR
