NSB PICK EM 2022 #29 SATURDAY 7th MAY

[SUBZER0ED]

Me & you Bro! We kicked ass on this one!

Oh, it looks like 3 others picked the right guy with the X5 multiplier too. Cong****, steve M, jas & MikeyG.

Not gonna do a full update now but these are the points earned from tonight best my bleary eyes and spinning head can tell...

mlac 140
SteveM 280
SUBZER0ED 280
SceneBoxer 120
NC Uppercut 280
jas 280
superbee 80
satir 80
MikeyG 280

EDIT: Which best I can tell finally brings to an end the seemingly unsurmoutable lead of BLASTER1 and installs another Aussie (I got that right ain't I SUBZER0ED ?) in the top slot. New #2 also with NC Uppercut on a streak this year after a coupla slow seasons, and resident seeker of fight footage MikeyG in a strong first season moving up to forth behind BLASTER1... least I think that's how things stand. Heads a little fuzzy... not only that I missed the first fkn 10 rounds anyway.

Thought it wise for my old ass to go to bed early then get up for the fight but somehow contrived to 'just close my eyes for another minute' without setting the snooze...

Nope, you got that wrong, Koba. I'm African American. I did serve in the USAF in the UK for a couple of years, and may have picked up some of their vernacular from a bird I used to date there, lol.

ummm...gotta admit that X5 I used on Bivol was just perfect! Canelo better go whoop GGG now. he doesn't need to embarrass himself with a rematch with Bivol right now. Bivol just has a style that is Kryptonite to Cinnabon. I was glad the judges made it a close decision, bc I had it 9-3 or 10-2 for Bivol. shocked he wasn't robbed.
Cong**** to all who used an additional multiplier on a Bivol pick! Oh the board is about to get shaken up when the update hits!

You remember the old saying; a good big guy beats a good little guy every time.

Weird... wonder how I picked up that idea then? Probably just some throwaway comment way back that I misinterpreted or something. Regardless, it's good to know a little more about you, man.

Anyways, massive cong**** to you and of course all the others who had the confidence to go with the Bivol pick despite knowing what we know about the judging in Vegas... and damn, to think 1 more disputable round and they woulda found a way to call it a draw.

Canelo/Bivol/Draw x3

I'm going for it hoping for some drawbbery nonsense this evening...

Wish me luck Tatabanya

Man, I lost pick AND bet last night... Utter failure as always. Never saw Canelo gassing out like that before...

you're a great 'piano player' but your sharp-shooting needs some polishing

not so much he gassed out as his engine got shut down in an unfriendly operating environment

I don't know, after five rounds or so his punches looked deprived of steam.

Bivol did his part, but nothing exceptional; to me, it was Canelo who appeared largely under average compared to his usual self.

I think he is deceiving - he has a simple strategy but he executes it exceptionally well. Perhaps Canelo was 'off' - but to me he looked dangerous the first 5/6 rounds, stalking, looking for an opening, but then all the incoming punches just acted as a mighty discouragement [interesting word - literally interpreted it means takes away your courage]
