NSB PICK EM 2025: ROUND 2 PICK EM 22-23-24: THURSDAY 19th JUNE + SATURDAY 21th JUNE

I'm still shocked that such a highly experienced fighter and decorated amateur like Yafai got beaten up and lost EVERY round on home soil!

You could see the warning signs in the Gohan and Gauto fights, guys with high work rates have given him trouble when they can take his power. If Rodriguez could go the distance with Nakatani at 115, I had no doubt he could do it against Yafai at 112. Question then only became how would Yafai fight and how would the judges score it, but Yafai has been pretty consistent in trying to outgun guys and hasn't shown much dimension to box and move. Only worry I had was a judging robbery, but luckily it was so one-sided that it was taken off the table.

Sasaki is TRASH bro...I was surprised to see somebody with your picking expertise choose him over Norman. However, props for getting the Yafai fight right - I did not see that coming.

Yeah, I agree ... Sasaki over Norman was a very dumb pick for a past Pick Em champ like me ...

Didn't quite get Araneta, but Rodriguez came thru for me. I knew Yafai wouldn't be able to handle the pace and workrate of a tough, durable dude like Rodriguez

I picked all dogs this week and Francisco is the only one victorious. Araneta almost and Sasaki all guts....

except the other Joe hasn't used any multipliers yet

I didn't say it was a clean fight.

Yafai, DEC, Clear

Well... I certainly misjudged Rodriguez. Did not expect that outcome.

Please remind me my words, I did the same ****** thing.

When there is a Brit in there against a Mexican, it doesn't matter if the Mexican is 97 years old, I am going with the Mexican.
