NSB PICK 'EM #72 and #73. 14th and 15th December 2018

[The plunger man]

That would indeed qualify as upset of the year - if it weren't for Fielding's size it'd probably also be among the worst cherry picking fails I can recall, but hard to make too much of it when a fighter's fighting someone in a new division.

Ima give you a special mention and a green K just for reckless abandon if you pull this one off..

rocky fielding is not an idiot groz.....he lost to smith yeah but it was the fact that smith just jumped all over him and ended it quickly....i do know they were gym partners and had endless wars in the gym.....its his size that will really bother canelo and canelo will need to get past his long reach and canelo is actually better counter punching than coming forward.
At 168 canelo is not a pig puncher so i don't think he can really hurt fielding and we don't know how canelo reacts to a fighter who is much much bigger...fielding is a more dangerous fighter than chavez jnr
Its not that much of huge shocker when yiu actually weigh up the size and weight difference.

Lol. You some tryhard pickem nerd?
Pickem is meant to be fun.
No, I did not always pick who I thought would win. Both this year and last year I gambled several times on underdogs for better odds. I even stated this several times on here.

I don't take this stuff half as seriously as you do apparently. My boxing knowledge isn't illustrated in pickem predictions. It's in having an actual understanding of the science. You cling into the guesswork if that's your wheelhouse.

Edit; I just checked and I'm #8 and you're #27, but you talk about not being clued in. What a clown...

seeing that you have 15 more fight that you participated than me its hardly surprising i am behind you....but if i had not missed out on the 1st 15 fights then you would be chasing my boothills and secondly which underdogs did you actually go for ? and if it was gamble why didnt you use the multipliers on them instead keep them in the bank 3/4 of the way through the year
Yeah yiur right it is fun but bull****ters like you who make excuses for there wrong picks and say they went for the home run....twat is the only word that comes into my head.
People making excuses for there own choices says it all..beam me up scotty

Mmmm. You do raise some valid points, but it's actually the Ryder fight that came to mind more than Mundo blasting him out early. Whilst John is a southpaw there are some similarities in style with Canelo (and at 5'9" he was also giving up lots of height) and we saw Rocky walked down and chewed up on the inside in the later rounds... like most others I saw Ryder winning that one down the stretch.

Still, Rocky isn't entirely without hope, I guess, but it's definitely an outlying pick. If that's how you think it goes kudos on sticking to your guns.

of course canelo is the favourite and in all logic he should win.....but something just tells me it all gonna go canelos way.....i remember liam smith coming forward and trading with canelo and canelo did not get him out there straight away
I was never gonna be close contender for the title seeing as i missed out on 15 fight picks so picking an outsider is not gonna dash my hopes of winning this years pick em ...

Beefy actually looked pretty good for a large part of the fight... competitive at least, and I think Rocky could look OK early too, but I only see it one way. Still you're right - you ain't got much to lose and there's definitely bragging rights in it if Rocky somehow pulls it off.

LOL, gotta love it when clowns play themselves.
Thx for that.


BTW, I'm not going to litter this pickem with any more of this BS so if you want to get punked some more you're going to have to do it in another thread.
