Fights where you could see who was going to win before the fight started?

Tszyu v Hatton.

Hatton trained for the fight time (3am) and Tszyu didnt. When he was entering the ring Kostya just looked off to me. Honest.

But he didn't enter the ring thinking "I'm going to lose tonight", did he? or did he?


And to the two people above - Williams vs. Vitali, really? I thought Danny thought he had a shot until about a minute in.

And Wlad vs. Brewster?



This thread was - while not the same thing - inspired by seeing The Paler vs. Urangutang on Saturday. It was during round two when I suddenly realised The Paler had it in the bag without question and I had to sit through ten more rounds of consequently undramatic stuff.

Some good pics btw, but I'm more thinking of not where the boxer thinks he can win (cos most of them think that), but where you can see the other guy knows he's going to LOSE.

Kind of the look in Manfredo's eyes when he says "I'm going to have a chess match with the Blow, maybe even knock him out" with his mouth, but his eyes say "I've just taken this for a payday and know I'm going to get caned for it."

some of you are being ridiculous and just naming fights that ended up being blowouts. Wlad-Sanders someone says? Give me a break, nobody knew that would happen before the fight started. That's complete bull.

One I remember is Pacquiao-Morales II. Watch Morales during his introduction. The guy looks like he doesn't care, bowing his head and staring at the floor and ****. Definitely moreso than Pacquiao-Morales III, where Morales was grinning and all as he was introduced.

I remember one more that was very obvious but I don't recall it now

EXACTLY, i didn't even need to post above. Lewis-Rahman II is a real good one

.

No, absolutely not.

I guess I answered the question in the wrong way. That was me thinking that Tsyzu didn't look right.

But to answer your question...

Jaidon Codrington vs Allan Green

It looked like he knew he was in over his head and second-guessing his decision to get moved that fast.

Here's one that didn't come off... Collazo's face before the Hatton bout. That weird, lagubrious, inpenetrable expression he had while jiggling around during the introductions.

Of course, some of you may think it DID come off...

Not really on topic, but Joe Frazier's face before his son was due to fight Holmes. Smokin' Joe looked like he wanted to step in there himself.

Thought of another, but it's just gone...
