When was the last time you were dead wrong about a fight?

As boxing fans we all go into fights with some expectations. For the most part I can pretty much say I've got a pretty good record for picking fights but have been fooled before... What fights were you fooled by the outcome???? For me these come to mind Leonard vs Duran 1 Leonard vs Haggler Roy Jones Jr. Vs James Toney Tyson Vs Buster Douglas Holyfield vs Buster Douglas Barerra Vs Pacquaio Roy Jones Jr. Vs Glen Johnson

Pacquiao vs Cotto is the one where I was the most confident about the outcome. I knew then to never again bet against Pacquiao. Same here..I honestly thought Cotto was to big for Pac..I thought wrong..

I thought Kevin Mitchell's style would be like poison for Katsidis and i thought he would box Katsidis's head off....How wrong i was...

Few years back I was pretty excited and thought that the Evander Holyfield-Nicolay Valuev fight would be entertaining and competitive. It turned out to be one of the most boring hw title fights in history...

I was dead wrong about Pascal-Hopkins. I gave Hopkins zero chance in that fight, which was foolishness in hindsight.

Gonna have to say Cotto vs. Pac. After the first couple of rounds, I was sure that Pac had no chance since Cotto seems to be as fast and stronger/bigger than Pac. That is, until Pac knocked him down.

Look at all the people that Pac has made believers out of... He's had a couple really good years.. I tell you I was one of those he believed in the “bigger man” fad where opponent “A” was naturally bigger then opponent “B” therefore opponent “A” must win naturally but Pac put an end to all of that which is why I stopped betting against him.

I thought Froch was going to get KO'd by AA in a fight that was close on the cards, but Froch was winning. Instead I saw Abraham get dominated for 12 rounds.

I was totally wrong thinking De La Hoya would beat Pacquiao, Too bad Oscar came in totally weight drained for that fight!! I also thought Margarito would give a better performance against Pacquiao. It cost me a lot of money betting against Pacquiao. Now I will never bet against Pacquiao unless he fought Martinez this year or next!!!

Martinez Williams 2 I was expecting a close fight early on until the 5th or 6th, until Williams takes over the fight and wins a close decision or late TKO. I expected a long battle in Williams favor, not a quick KO win for Martinez.

Another one that I was completely wrong was Tito-Hopkins. I don't even want to talk about it... Haha! Tell me about it... I remember Hopkins going to Puerto Rico promoting the fight when the threw the PR flag on the ground and ran.... I wanted Tito to beat his ass.

Abraham-Froch...I honestly didn't think Froch could have fought that style that he did against AA. I thought it was going to be a brawl and AA power would win it but I was dead wrong. Another one that I was completely wrong was Tito-Hopkins. I don't even want to talk about it. And, then also all the big mismatches going in and turn into major upsets like Wlad-Sanders, Cabal-Litzau, Lee-Poonsawat, etc etc...
