NSB PICK EM 2023 #20 - #21: SATURDAY 1st APRIL 2023

[Tatabanya]

sometimes the ring walk is a big clue - have a look at how Franklin comes in today - often a fighter knows he is likely to lose so they can't hide the fact they don't really want to be there. Othertimes a fighter is on fire > Liam Smith and his entourage before the Eubank fight - I saw that, noted it .... and still didn't change my bet.

Franklin has been looking like a basset hound all week, to be honest. I'll be shocked if he wins.

Should have just stuck with the one fight week because Im not confident about the method in Joshua fight lol.

Both fights are very challenging as far as whether they will result in decisions or KOs..

Even if he wins, I don't believe in Ramirez knocking Dogboe out. Isaac ain't no Abraham Nova. If Ramirez manages to do that, hats off to him and his quick progress.

[Baltimore]

Baltimore, Joshua, KO, Mid

Baltimore, Ramirez, Dec, Wide

Right. Dogboe has one been knocked out by Navarette but he made the necessary adjustments to go the distance in the rematch, so we know his capabilities.

But unlike Navarette, Ramirez is a sharp shooting technician who will catch him with shots he dont see coming. Dogboe can get kind of sloppy on offense and I just feel like Ramirez is going to capitalize on that.

I rarely steer away from my initial thoughts and Ramirez Dec is what I had in my mind all along, but the more I watch Ramirez, it's tough to imagine Dogboe going 12 rounds with him.

Still on the fence though lol

[Citizen Koba]

Koba:

Joshua KO MID

Ah ****... long time fan of Dogboe and my guts hinting at the possiblitiy of an upset here but my brains telling me in no uncertain terms that Ramirez DEC is the sensible pick...

Sorry Isaac and I've a feeling I'm gonna kick myself but...

Robeisy DEC CLOSE

Reckon Isaacs gonna push him to the limit later rounds tho....

Yes, naturally.

But... have Ramirez's chin and overall resistance ever been tested? What if Dogboe catches him with a damaging body shot? I remember when Dogboe knocked Magdaleno out, he was the underdog there as well, and got up from a serious KD if I remember correctly... Of course, he has struggled quite a bit in more recent times. But still I can't underestimate my question marks on Ramirez. I want to see him perform when the going gets tough, and Dogboe could be his first real test in that regard.

Looking forward to seeing how the fight unfolds.
