NSB PICK EM 2023 #35 and #36: SATURDAY 10th June 2023

Interesting. The KO has the better odds?

It's 1.25/1 right now. Not worth a penny. 6/1 for a decision looks extremely good to me. Zorrilla is not a bum, and Prograis is not necessarily a KO machine.

Watch this then you tell me...

watched it to half way - slug fest!

can't find any odds for the upcoming fight though

my view is [and i could be wrong] that the majority of pickers don't know many fighters in the 108 and 105 divisions unless they have elevated themselves - as such its a bit random doing a pickem - most all are going to opt for the favourite which is the sensible thing to do when uninformed - and that being the case its not much a pickem is it?

Huh?? Leaving aside the Taylor loss he has Ko'd 9 of his last 10 opponents.

Yes, in fact I threw the Nonthshinga fight in there without any serious hope of having it actually featured. The kid is good, though.

He knocked them out in a human way

Zorrilla is not bad, he could box intelligently and last the distance. After all, if Prograis hasn't managed to defeat a bum like Josh Taylor...
