Mr_David19y ago

It's time again to review the boxing predictions given forth by BoxingScene's foremost expert, Cold, who generally chooses the underdog without fail and without logic.

In some cheesy, emotional way these forums are a group of buddies whom I talk about the sport I love with. Must be weird to come back from an absence and find a thread pointing out how bad your prediction record is. I wonder. Haha. Maybe you can go through the time I've been here and tell me what my prediction record is. Probably not too great.

He admitted that he always picks the underdog. Where? The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

I was recently wondering what happened to him. The routine may be old but I still get a chuckle. Manfredo KO Calzaghe Spinks KO Taylor

After hiding in shame for a few weeks, Cold starts off the year with another wrong prediction. 2007: - Cold picks Juan Urango over Ricky Hatton by KO (Hatton by wide unanimous decision). http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105107 So, this bring's Cold's overall prediction record to: - 47 fights - 8 wholly correct - 5 half correct - 31 absolutely wrong - 3 draws

His threads don't even bother me. In fact I like them because he makes them about obsecure fighters who I don't follow. That way if I want to bet I just bet against the guy he's picking. The whole routine became old a long time ago anyways. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!
