Soro got robbed. My boxing-picks radar remains accurate.

Not good if you aren't able to factor in home robbery.

I believe we just had a Kurbanov close robbery... PICK EM CREW will determine what picks came in after the fight began, because I honestly don't know, having not followed it since the beginning.

No worrries brother Tat... was out most of the evening (random friend of friend of Ms Ks Birthday party that turned out surprisingly good) but we can have a look at epds thread to try to get close to a timestamp

https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/b...rbanov-vs-soro

And we got clues to the precise start time around post #50 and #51 - BigZ44 gives the first round to Soro at around 7:38 GMT which is what my site timestamps are set to which sets the start time time to 3 to 4 minutes earlier allowing for even a hair-trigger RBR. commentator like the esteemed BigZ a few seconds to post. In any event it looks like the only poster that missed their pick on Kurbanov was bobbybobberton who picked just about 5 or 6 minutes into the bout. Sorry my dude

And yes. Only managed to catch about 2 rounds en route to the party with Ms K driving so can't give an opinion and not watched yet but entirely unsurprised at what sounds like an egregious robbbery - I'll unashamedly admit my Kurbanov CLOSE pick was informed largely based on the belief that Soro would outbox Magomed but get stiffed on the cards. I don't want to bring any degree of Nationalism - or rather anti-Nationalism - into the Pick Em - particularly in the present circumstances - but I may think twice before including Kurbanov fights into the Pick Em in future if he's on home turf.

Fool me once as the saying goes....

Well, I'm telling you right now - Canelo's finished.

And my negative betting streak goes on (too bad I didn't have the guts to follow a flash intuition on Martinez KO 9-11... That would have won me several hundreds. Sigh.)

Results:

Kurbanov DEC close
Alvarez DEC wide

PICK EM CREW: something tells me that next weekend will exclusively consist of Jason Moloney vs Vincent Astrolabio, unless we want to believe in Alimkhanuly getting upset by Steven Butler... Word to you guys.

Sounds good to me - Butler fight isn't competitive on paper.
