NSB PICK EM #74 TO #76 23rd AND 24th OCTOBER 2020

KOBA:
Estrada DEC CLOSE
Hawkins DEC WIDE - EDIT to Matias KO MID
Lipinets DEC CLOSE
Damn though, I'm flip flopping on my boy Browny... if he's got his head straight it's very possible he could stop Hawkins here but it's hard to have much faith after his mangers outburst following the Ananyan loss. Might even be the Dadashev tragedy ruined him as a fighter, he wouldn't be the first.
EDIT: Ah Crap. I'm switching my Pick to Browny. Feel bad otherwise.

Speaking of odd picks, I'm putting a few ones on Israel upsetting Roman in tonight's war of the Gonzalezes... Somehow I picture the Yafai win as Chocolatito's swan song before the curtains fall down on his career once and for all.Comment

Could be. He seems like an incredibly humble guy for the damage he can do. Hawkins out there talking that **** like he's gonna easily stop Matias... Unlikely and don't think anyone is buying that... He looked terrible in his last fight and celebrated a default win after he was losing basically every round even to the judges. Guy is there to be hit, so is Browny but he's got the power advantage easily. Good little redemption fight and I think he will either beat the living **** out of Hawkins or lose another lackluster decision and retire. I'm gonna bet on the former myself however.KOBA:
Estrada DEC CLOSE
Hawkins DEC WIDE
Lipinets DEC CLOSE

If that fight happened in 2 more years I'd say yeah, quite likely, but on the back of his demolition of Kal I'm still riding with Choco here... it's possible Roman suddenly gets old I guess, and he's gonna be giving up size, but there's a reason Israels hovering around +1000. At those odds though I honestly can't say I blame you, there's always a chance and that's quite the reward.Comment

That fight was my first perfect pick here
However, I think that Yafai was vastly overrated in comparison to an even aging Chocolatito... Israel looks hungrier, and is definitely bigger than Roman. One never knows.Comment

Israel should maybe have been given the nod over Kal but there was nothing at all decisive in that fight going either direction, whereas older Choco pretty much dominated. That said, we're two years down the line and Israels maturing whereas Roman's just getting older. Like you say who knows... +1000 is good odds in almost any fight and when you got a bigger younger guy in with a dude who's been through the wars Choco has there's always gonna be a passable chance of an upset.Comment
