NSB PICK EM 2022 #29 SATURDAY 7th MAY

[Tatabanya]

What I noticed that likely had a major effect on Canelo, is that Bivol rarely took a shot without coming back with one of his own. Some were even combos. Canelo is used to his opponents either resetting or even going into defensive mode after he catches them with a good shot. He hardly phased Bivol, though. That messed with Alvarez's confidence.

You're absolutely correct. However, to me Canelo was not looking like his usual self even in the first half, when he did connect with some hard shots. He looked heavier than usual, his muscle was less defined... I really couldn't say, but after three-four rounds I thought "we're in for the upset tonight", though still convinced they would save Canelo's ass one way or another.

When they read the scorecards , I thought the fix was in

[NC Uppercut]

Can't really let my man NC Uppercut get too much ahead of me since we were in max. 30 points distance since Pick Em #15!

And never expected to catch up to BLASTER1 after his great run!

Cong**** to SUBZER0ED as well!

MikeyG, take a deep breath and just accept it! lol! I'm sure my pay back is just around the corner. Karma gets us when we least expect.

[NC Uppercut]

Oh, it looks like 3 others picked the right guy with the X5 multiplier too. Cong****, steve M, jas & MikeyG.

hey, SUBZEROED you forgot my perfect X 5 pick on Bivol too! be fair to @NCUppercut too! lol!

[NC Uppercut]

not so much he gassed out as his engine got shut down in an unfriendly operating environment

I think all the advantages Nelo usually uses against his opponents came back to him ten-fold when agreed to make this a straight legacy fight w/o tampering with weight, rehydration,etc..

[SUBZER0ED]

Oh, my bad, @NCUppercut ! I was drunk as hell that night. I'm surprised I was able to type anything at all!

I't interesting that you say that. A buddy of mine noticed it too. It's likely because 175 is not Canelo's fighting weight, it's more like his walking around weight.

Yeah, I thought BLASTER1 had an insurmountable lead!

nobody gets every pick right. But with draws you only have to get say 2 out of ten picks right and you make massive profits. Duva has done that and Mizzone is even better.

They got this fight wrong too?

It is what it is my friend - you can do your own research as I did. I went back through a dozen or so Ring Picks - they only have them for the big fights. Anybody can do that. I noticed that when Mizzone especially, but sometimes Duva, picked a draw they were quite often right. Lets say during ten fights you stake $10 bucks on each fight. Lets say you pick three draws and lose the other seven. So you lose $70 but you probably make $500/600 just off those 3 draws as draws are often at 15-1 minimum and sometimes as high as 22-1 (as in the case of this last fight). You do the math - it's a nice reward for little risk.
