NSB Pick 'em #16 - Kell Brook vs Errol Spence, May 27

[LacedUp]

Very interesting to see the picks here. I expected Spence by close decision to be the leading pick but it's one of the least favorite.
The cool thing about this fight is that there are a lot of legit ways to look at it. It's hard to say that anyone's pick is "bad" because we've got one guy taking a huge step up and another coming off a brutal loss. Anything could happen.

I think conventional wisdom is that if the fight is close it goes to Brook.

Would imagine that's why.

But even if Spence is winning wide, I believe the they will make the decision close. Thurman won wide in my eyes but to partial preserve Garcia's image. That fight was a split decision.

I honestly had to double check those odds over and over. I'm very surprised that Kell Brook is not the favorite. Those odds are very close for a fight, but still a surprise to me.

Why no bonus multiplier available doe?? And yes bit god knows why they have Spence as the favorite.....

Brook was actually the ever so slight favorite when the odds first opened; you could find him as the hair-thin favorite on some odds sites up until about three-ish weeks ago.

It was weird in that both fighters were in the "negatives:" Brook was like -130 and Spence was like -105. The furthest odds I saw (when Brook was still favorite) on most bets was: Brook -135 and Spence was at +135 (somewhere roundabout those odds for each).

Because there is no big underdog in his fight. It is a close fight. Who are you leaning towards?

Brook for me. I think his straighter punches will land first and most often over twelve rounds.

I see it as very competitive with lots of two-way action and exchanges. I think Spence may seemingly take control over the fight in the mid-rounds with GIS aggression and higher work-rate. He could even put Brook on his arse.

Then I see Brook catching his second wind around the 8th and start outboxing Spence again to the finish, winning a close and perhaps even debatable majority or split decision.

I can even see it as one of those fights with so many close rounds you could justify wide cards for each guy (such as a 117-111).

What about you? Who you leaning towards?

Spence by close decision at the moment. Who did you pick for Wlad-Joshua?

Not sure if I am gonna be bold as yet. I am watching over a Kell fight and Spence to see if I can spot anything with a keen eye.
