Your pride and gulp it down? In regards to mispredicting a fight or bashing a fighter and then being proven wrong.
I've done it. One of my biggest hiccups was when Russel Jr fought Vasyl. I swore up and down T-Rex arms would take it. Then I was disgruntled and bashed Russel Jr when he faded Jhonny. I thought Jhonny was going to land a meteoric punch but that never happened. T-Rex took Jhonny out and snatched his belt instead.
I swore up and down that Cenelo would outclass Floyd. It almost happened, only scored it 115-113 for floyd and thought a draw was fair.
I finally realized that Floyd was the clear A side so he had the power to get 2 judges in his pockets. That is just how the game goes I guess.
I was totally right about Tyson/Wilder but only after being totally wrong about Fury in the first place. I didn't see him lasting even 6 rounds against Wlad.
I was sure that Wilder would KO Fury in under 6 rounds. I was also very confident that Jack would beat Bronwe with ease. Those are my two worst recent predictions.
I told everybody and their mama that Tyson Fury was going to take Deontay Wilders belt but i was dead wrong. He got put on his butt twice and only managed to walk away with a draw. I hope they rematch one day.
Lol.......

Dang I forgot about that. I too said Fury would embarrass Wilder due to Wilder just being so deficient in technical ability coupled with me seeing fighters like Washington beating him easy with a jab until getting caught. Like most though I thought Fury won the fight and was robbed at a chance at history. The official decision screwed us over man

I didn’t make much predictions nor bashed anyone here but i was mad rooting for rigo against loma. I like supporting underdogs.
Except for the mikey one. I just knew it was a stupid fight to take.

I too thought baby T-Rex was going to beat Loma. Even went to the fight and had to sit ringside and watch him get outclassed. Great night of fights though. The Guerrero vs Kamagei fight ended up being a barn burner.
I was fooled by the hand speed. That plus Lomo being fresh to the game and taking such a major step up had me on T Rex's war train. Welp, at least you got to enjoy a barn burner.
Pacquiao's first win over Barrera. I was a big MAB fan and I thought for sure he was going to beat Manny. I was pissed when he lost and it took me a while afterwards to warm up to Pacquiao.
Pacquiao did me in a few times. I think the heaviest blow was when he effed Margarito up. I thought for sure the Tornado was going to bear him down with size and workrate. One broken face later I was depressed.

I've been wrong about Eubank jr twice. I genuinely thought he was going to be in the P4P argument and he just isn't. I'm not ashamed by it, you cant be right all the time.
