NSB PICK EM 2023 #37 - #39: SATURDAY 17th and SUNDAY 18th JUNE 2023

[SteveM]

I’m in the schitt hole! Out of top 20. Damn this looks bad!

About 90% of pickers got 50 points so if you got less than that this weekend then the potential was definitely there to drop a few places - its very close - a few correct picks and you could easily be back in top ten

Steve, appreciate the support brother. I’ve been so off after the first few years, it’s insane. I almost changed my pick to Goodman last night, but decided against it. I’ve gotta listen to my inter self from now on! Cheers

The inner self always wins decisions

I should have done the same with the Prograis fight...

Well Mikey G does an amazing job putting all the videos up and its a great way to catch up on fights but for me personally - the vids throw me off - I see things which go against my other instincts. I looked at Googman and I thought - yeah, athletic, in and out, 1-2s, but against smaller opposition. I looked at A'leem and straight away daw slicker and more to his game. But when a fighter has gooten to 32 years old and hasn't reached the very top level that tells me something too. Keep on keeping on bro

[PICK EM CREW]

PICK EM CREW: next weekend we have Adames vs Williams, perhaps Martinez vs Bornea and Ioka vs Franco II...

Anyone for Jason Quigley upsetting Edgar Berlanga?

Well Ioka Franco II is a lock and I think Adames vs J Rock has the potential to be a good fight depite J Rocks not-so-great form over the last few years. Martinez vs Bornea should in theory be prioritsed perhaps because it's 4* Boxrec fight and there's a title on the line and the fact that Jade is unbeaten gives it at least some intrigue but the dude hasn't fought a single guy I've heard of so I'm a bit leery of including what looks like a potentially vast mismatch, especially without any available odds to steer by.

I'd say provisionally I'm leaning towards Ioka - Franco and Adames - J Rock but I'd like to invite other opinions Mammoth SteveM MikeyG NC Uppercut and of course your good self Tat.

OK with those two... and, BTW, I was just kidding on Berlanga vs Quigley (though I might still consider a bet on the upset )

Or, to put it more succinctly, whenever a fighter has an apostrophe in his first name I am highly su****ious about his consistency.

I prefer the 2 mentioned, Franco and the J Rock bouts myself.
