NSB Pick 'em #2 - Oleksandr Usyk vs Mairis Briedis, Jan 27

[BrometheusBob.]

BETTING ODDS: The books have Usyk 5.5/1 to 10/1 to win, averaging around 7/1. Briedis picks receive a 1.75X multiplier.

You only need to post in this thread to indicate if you'd like to use one of your 2X or 3X multipliers. EG.

BrometheusBob.,2X

If you are using no multiplier (1X), and not picking a draw, just voting in the poll puts you in. I will assume you want 1X unless you post otherwise.

NOTES:
-Draws are worth 120pts. A perfect pick without a multiplier is 30pts.

-CLOSE is <12 pts difference, or anything closer than 116-112 on all three scorecards. WIDE is >=12 pts difference, or anything equivalent to 116-112 on all three cards or wider.

-If you'd like to change your pick before the fight starts, post in this thread to do so. Ideally tag me so that I don't miss it.

-2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 5 doubles and 3 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.

Sticky me -MEGA-

116 - 112 counts as 'close' for the purposes of the Pick 'em. Just sayin', man.

This is what it says in the op, so on all 3 scorecards 116-112 is wide right ?

3X for Usyk by close decision

Oooops - my bad. Yeah, you're right... I misread the >= as just >. Which is a shame because 116 - 112 is pretty much the exact result I had in mind. Hmmm. I'll have to give it some thought but might have to change my pick to wide.

I changed it from last year. 116-112 on all three cards, or the equivalent (aka net score difference of 12 pts), is now wide.

usyk wide X2 multiplier.

I’ve gone for Usyk by wide decision but the fact that it’s in Latvia could mean the judges are favourable to Breidis.
