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.
With 2006 wrapping up, here's a look at his inability:
- Carlos Baldomir over Zab Judah (he gets it right... heckuva way to start the year)
- Manny Pacquiao over Erik Morales (two for two... could it be a trend?)
- Thomas Damgaard over Arturo Gatti (oops, guess not. Gatti stops Damgaard)
- Scott Pemberton beats Peter Manfredo (because, you know, Pemberton showed so much against Lacy in 2005 ... Manfredo stops Pemberton)
- Manuel Gomez KO Antonio Margarito (poor Amigorito [Credit: Anorak of Green Gables] doesn't even let Cold's guy get out of the first round)
- Fernando Vargas KO Shane Mosley (Mosley stops Vargas in a close fight)
- Joe Calzaghe KO Jeff Lacy (half-credit)
- Hasim Rahman KO James Toney (a draw)
