NSB Pick 'em #7 - Gennady Golovkin vs Daniel Jacobs, March 18

[Check_hooks]

It'll be hard cause HBO can simply say "You're not as marketable anymore since you got a loss and if you lose again that's the end of you." Lol

Yeah thats true but it would be a damn shame if they don't make a rematch a main event as soon as both fighters are ready. But it is a business. If I was Roman's promoter, I would try to sell this as a potential Gatti vs Ward or Morales vs Barrerra trilogy.

Who wouldn't want to see this fight again? It was better than the GGG vs Jacobs fight

I also made another one saying something like we've seen this too many times. Where one guy is a 'beast' and the other one is 'chinny' and supposed to get blasted out but it doesn't happen and it turns into a tight contest.

Once I saw he missed the 2nd day weigh I started feeling more confident in my post. Then tonight once they said he skipped on HBO's weigh in then I knew for sure. Can't just ignore Jacobs' size AND length and power too I suppose. Lol

A few days ago you and I were the only people who predicted Golovkin by close decision but it looks like someone else voted that way since then also.

The part I bolded also made me more confident of my choice. You and I are the only ones who do KSAB.

Most of us, that admit it, were surprised by Jacobs. Sure some backed him, but I personally admit his performance earned praise. I look forward to his career and hope he is able to continue at this level.

Lol I ended up going wide so I guess I still dunno **** about boxing.

Whoever voted Jacobs by ko after the 5th is a ratard , his only chance is the first 3 rounds.

Don't act like you got it right either. I lost 30 points last night because of GGG under performing.

[siablo14]

Glad I voted wide at the last minute but that was definitely a close fight as I called it.

I personally had it a draw. I could see either guy winning by 1 point though.

Damn. To borrow of the poor-grammar lines from them rappers, "You was right." Your intuition was leading you the right way. Shout out to the gypsy too.

When I heard he missed his 2nd weigh in, I had that thought too. I didn't pick a close decision for GGG, I picked a wide one, but regardless, I knew it was going to the cards.

This is why I wait until the very last second to make my picks.

BrometheusBob, I'm gonna change my pick, it's too early to put all the trust in that fortune teller. If she's right I won't doubt her next prediction about Brook and Spence. Golovkin by KO in mid rounds (5-8)

So far 3 of my 4 predictions were right
If it wasn't for the old lady, I would even use the mutliplier

Whoops forgot to give you credit for this. Updating leaderboard now..
