NSB PICK EM 2025: ROUND 1. PICK EM #28 - #32: FRIDAY 11th and SATURDAY 12th JULY

[SteveM]

Several 5x’s on Puello have bit the dust.

Always annoying when judges interfere. As Tata said, the obvious X5 play this weekend was on Taylor but hindsight is a wonderful thing

I actually thought Puello was the best x5 play, didn’t think Katie Taylor could separate herself from Serrano at her age. When she hadn’t been able to twice before.

Serrano has a terrible corner.

So let's see... the judges take my winning x5 from me (and others), the 4th round bell saves Berlanga and destroys my perfect pick, and the idiot that I am decides to withdraw from a winning bet (Sheeraz inside six rounds) at the last minute.

Coming back for the standings ASAP...

Results:

Taylor DEC close
Morrell DEC close
Matias DEC close
Stevenson DEC wide
Sheeraz KO mid

Never change your picks!

I had a STRONG urge to change my fight prediction from Sheeraz decision to Berlanga KO late last night. Thank God I didn’t!

[HisExcellency]

Never change your picks!

I can’t seem to follow that advice. I changed every single one of my picks at least twice. But then, I never changed my pick for Puello. I left it as is and he got “beaten” and I lost an x2. Bah!

Even more perplexing: Shakur Stevenson put on a helluva performance against Zepeda. Very entertaining!
