    Name a fight you were absolutely wrong about.

    What is a fight that went the complete opposite way you thought it would. I really thought for some dumb reason that Otto Wallin could stop AJ. But this was when AJ was trying to climb back up the ladder after getting out classed by Usyk twice.

    Arthur Abraham at 168 was not really effective and too gunshy as opposed to seeming really good and powerful at 160.

        Plenty. Recently I've been thinking about how many tines I seem to get it badly wrong where there's a marked size disparity between fighters.

        Canelo-Crawford
        De La Hoya-Pacquiao

        Eubank Jr.-Benn I (I specify their first fight because by the rematch it was clear it would be competitive regardless of who won)

        Granted Eubank Jr. won the first fight against Benn, but I went into all three of these fights feeling like there was absolutely no way the smaller man make it very competitive, much less win. In all cases the smaller man was moving up two weight classes. I'm a firm believer in the mantra that weight classes exist for a reason, but maybe they just... don't?

          Pricey V White Rhino - was convinced Pricey would gas as he usually does after 3-4 rounds then get stopped through exhaustion.

              I believe Buff Guy Yarde v Dave will be highly competitive bout

              if either gets mopped, great job by the mopper

                I too think it will be competitive, EARLY. Then fat guy David takes over and potentially stops or embarasses buff guy yarde, between 6-8

                  Wilder vs Fury 2. I thought Fury had come in too fat and would clown around like he did later against Ngannou.

                    Crawford canelo

                    I figured Crawford would stay in range like he always does giving canelo a chance but actually Crawford was great both inside and at controlling distance for most of the fight

                    Fury vs Francis. That was something that should have been in a sparring behind closed doors, fury embarrassed himself on the world stage.

                    Fury usyk I thought fury would be too big and have good stamina but usyk stamina is next level


                    I was wrong picking beter vs bivol but both fights were close so I guess not waaaay off.
