    When was the last time you were dead wrong about a fight?

    As boxing fans we all go into fights with some expectations. For the most part I can pretty much say I've got a pretty good record for picking fights but have been fooled before... What fights were you fooled by the outcome????

    For me these come to mind

    Leonard vs Duran 1
    Leonard vs Haggler
    Roy Jones Jr. Vs James Toney
    Tyson Vs Buster Douglas
    Holyfield vs Buster Douglas
    Barerra Vs Pacquaio
    Roy Jones Jr. Vs Glen Johnson

    The most recent one that comes to mind for me is Mosley/Margarito.

      Abraham-Froch...I honestly didn't think Froch could have fought that style that he did against AA. I thought it was going to be a brawl and AA power would win it but I was dead wrong.

      Another one that I was completely wrong was Tito-Hopkins. I don't even want to talk about it.

      And, then also all the big mismatches going in and turn into major upsets like Wlad-Sanders, Cabal-Litzau, Lee-Poonsawat, etc etc...

        Pacquiao vs Cotto is the one where I was the most confident about the outcome. I knew then to never again bet against Pacquiao.

          Haha! Tell me about it... I remember Hopkins going to Puerto Rico promoting the fight when the threw the PR flag on the ground and ran.... I wanted Tito to beat his ass.

                Martinez Williams 2

                I was expecting a close fight early on until the 5th or 6th, until Williams takes over the fight and wins a close decision or late TKO. I expected a long battle in Williams favor, not a quick KO win for Martinez.

                    I was totally wrong thinking De La Hoya would beat Pacquiao, Too bad Oscar came in totally weight drained for that fight!! I also thought Margarito would give a better performance against Pacquiao. It cost me a lot of money betting against Pacquiao. Now I will never bet against Pacquiao unless he fought Martinez this year or next!!!
