a prediction you were wrong about that shocked you.
i predicted lacy over calzaghe by KO and joe ended his career that night.
i also predicted vargas to beat de la hoya.
and explain the reasoning behind the pick. for example calzaghe was unknown and i fell for the "lacy is the next tyson" hype. and i thought vargas had the strength to manhandle and stop oscar late rounds and he had genuine hatred for dlh. lost money that night.
Tyson over Douglas
Moorer over Foreman
Tarver over Hopkins
Jones over Glen Johnson
Jones over Tarver II
Taylor over Pavlik
Holyfield over Toney, Byrd and Curry
Vitali K. over Byrd
Margarito to stop Mosley.
Pavlik over BHop.........http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/merchant.png
These two are two of my worst predictions.
To be fair, wasn't Pavlik suffering from a really bad illness in the weeks leading up to the Hopkins fight? (Still trying to make myself feel better about my prediction :lol1: )
I've been wrong many times, but these are the real bad predictions I've made:
Donaire KOs Rigondeaux.
I also thought Martinez would be able to at least stand on two legs against Cotto.
Mattysse KOs Garcia
Peterson schooling Garcia (he kind of did, but started too late in the fight).
Viloria KOs Chocolatito
Pavlik TKO over Hopkins
Vargas TKO over De La Hoya
Tyson KOs Holyfield (glad Evander won though).
Gamboa stopping Crawford
I also thought Mattysse, Khan and Devon Alexander would be big stars and top p4p fighters.
I have a few other bad predictions, but can't remember all of them at the moment.
BHop over Smith
I just wanted the BHop legend to live on
Martinez over Cotto
Boy I really underestimated how injured Sergio was. On paper Sergio was taller, bigger, arms were longer and probably faster than Cotto. I'm still a little salty over that fight.
I thought B Hop would stop Kovalev...
Don't ask.
Lool that's a bad one but a bunch of guys picked Hopkins to "school" him. I thought it was too close to call.
Pavlik over BHop.........http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/merchant.png
Haha me too! I thought Pavlik would kill Hopkins due to the agefactor and also that Jermain Taylor got beat by Pavlik and those two styles we're "kinda" (i know i know) similar
Hatton to beat Pacquaio..... man was I wrong about that one. I remember reading all the predictions for a Pacman victory thinking "these guys are sleeping on Ricky's rough inside work"
I put that fight on 50/50 too. Boy did I get surprised. But Pac was just better than we all expected. I couldn't believe how incredible Manny looked. Definitely one of the greats.
I thought Kevin Mitchell would easily beat Michael Katsidis.
I believe the talent gap was huge. I also couldn't believe that Ricky Burns stopped him too.
It's not even like Mitchell had a bad chin. He didn't. He just couldn't deliver.
pantycruz to walk over frampton in the first fight, as limited as he is I thought his volume would catch up to frampton who had been knocked down recently a couple of times by an unknown guy
