NSB PICK EM 2023 #22-23: SATURDAY 8th APRIL 2023

You might want to change the last sentence then?
It says - "Everyone starts with 10 doubles and 6 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread. Every player also has 3 x5 special multipliers which can be only be used on an underdog (+100 or greater) fighter."

Good shout. Yeah I'll get that done today. I just carried on using last years template and forgot to update it for the new rules.

There are a few fights that were peaking my interest such as, Bam Rodriguez’s fight, and the Japanese multi -title fight. We have what we have though! I didn’t think Shakur’s fight would make it, even off name recognition.

I'm a big fan of Kenshiro and think Bam's one of the most exciting young fighters in the sport so it was a tough call not to include em but the odds on both - as well as on Shakur and Fundora were absurdly wide. The only fight that had both a title, reasonable odds and matched 2 top 10 fighters was MJ vs Tapales and it felt like I couldn't reasonably pick between the remainder of the mismatches. In theory the Kenshiro fight should have probably taken priority because of the 2 titles on the line, but it was only 3 stars per Boxrec and our criteria usually require 4 stars or better.

Oh and sorry I didn't get back to your PM... I didn't notice it until I logged on to decide what fights to put up on Tuesday and after that replying seemed a bit redunadant since I pretty much posted my thoughts on fight selection in the thread

What the fook? A Kiko fight?

Where’s Fundora vs Mendoza? Or Bam Rodriguez vs Cristian Gonzalez?

Abe-Martinez is the type of odds we like. Let's go watch some tape.
